At just CHF73 for a 4-Bed Mixed Dorm which is a mere 30-second jaunt from the train station, manage your expectations, folks! I'd braced myself for a tired, grimy hostel, expecting pesky cockroaches and snappy staff after skimming some reviews. But voila! I was met with a delightful twist – a heartwarming experience complemented by a team of super welcoming and friendly folks. Those lockers in the room? A sweet bonus for security, ensuring your valuables are snug while you saunter through the enchanting streets of Interlaken. Dreaming of plush red carpets, sparkling chandeliers, and a butler at your beck and call? Time for a reality check on hostels! But if it's a fuss-free, solid base you seek as you embark on your day's adventure, this spot's a total gem! If you would prefer that Butler. The Chalet Margaux Penthouse might offer one at CHF 3677.

Hostel was ok (not great not terrible) as it could use some updates such as the beds and linens. Plugs by beds don’t work well as they hang upside down. It would be helpful to have a toilet/ sink within the shower rooms. Room was very warm at night especially on the top bunk. Breakfast was fairly good and location is good. Staff were friendly.

Excellent service, cleanliness, space and quality of room as good as it gets. One minor complaint; the pillows are lumpy and uncomfortable. Another minor complaint; it was hot outside, the rooms do not have ac, which is fine, I know the hostel is environmentally conscious which is one reason why we stayed there, but I think the rooms should have a fan to move air in the room. It was uncomfortable all night. The night before Interlaken we stayed in Lucern with no ac, even hotter at night but the fan in the room made all the difference. The breakfast is great, we had dinner there twice with excellent food quality at good prices, especially for Switzerland!

Family holiday
Stayed for a night on Aug 22,2023 to end our 10-Day fam hols before heading home. Booked on a Qaud Room with 2 bunk beds, shared T&B, with free breakfast. Centrally located just beside the main train station. The room is just warm on summer days thus we left the window opened through-out the night to get fresh air. Has to pay extra for the towel at €3/each, lines are provided. Warm reception - a bonus.

Hostel was very good for a hostel. Located next to the train station made it very convenient to commute. There is a restaurant although the hostel is lacking a common area with a communal fridge & kitchen area. This may be intentional to drive more business to the restaurant.

Good Location only, nothing else!
The hotel is located next to the train station. Our balcony room facing the train station so that very noisy even in the midnight. Inside the room, there were no window , no TV, no Aircon and we had to open the balcony door to sleep in order to get fresh air. No housekeeping & cleaning services provided during our 2 nights stay. Breakfast was normal especially no scrambled eggs. One thing we would like to point out- On one day we use one of the glass door at the back of the building to enter the hotel after sightseeing (Where we didn’t know it was a path through the kitchen because there was no signage stated it is “No entry”) . At that time , a man from the kitchen scold us in a very impolite manner although we apologized and mentioned that there should be a warning signage on the glass door. We highly unhappy that such a behavior was happened in a hotel ! ( We found that there was a “No Entry Sign” on the glass door next day). Not worth for the room rate we paid!

We stayed 5 nights and used this as a central base while visiting the area. From here we saw Bern, Jungfraujoch, Grindelwald, Harder Kulm, and Lake Brienz. We booked an entire room with two bunkbeds, so we had it completely to ourselves (myself, wife and daughter) with a private shower and toilet, even though youth hostels generally are shared spaces. Breakfast was included and there's option for paying for other meals. The food was decent and not that expensive. There was also a COOP supermarket right down the block as well as many restaurants. The good thing about this Youth Hostel is its location. It is literally right next door (a one min walk) to the Interlaken Ost train station, which allowed us to roll out of bed, eat quickly and then board a train to our planned destination. On return we walked right off the train and then upstairs again. The room itself was no frills and resembled a sleep away camp dormitory but was fully serviceable. Each bed space had its own outlet for recharging phones, and a small bedlamp. Breakfast served starting at 0630 but many times I showed up earlier and they just allowed me to start taking food. And they have good coffee machines at the press of a button. I would gladly stay there again.

Clean and conveniently located near train station
This is one of the closest hotel to the Interlaken OST station and ferry terminal. There are eating places nearby and also a Coop supermarket. It is only a 5 to 10 minute walk to the shopping street where you can book paragliding or other activitiea. You have to make tour own bed, and strip the bedsheets after your night’s stay. The bed is comfortable. The restaurant also serves reasonably priced meals. Bus stop is right outside the hotel. You get a Guest pass which allows you to ride free around the region,

it is at a great location, and that is enough reason to return here. breakfast is decent, with a toaster for bread. even with the excellent location by the bahn, not recommended if you are skiing at grindelwald as the trip is too long.
