Nice place with great staff. A bit pricey for a hostel bed but location and breakfast in the morning kind of makes up for it. Facilities are great although showers could be updated. All in all good spot.

Too expensive for what it is. It was old, not that clean and we had to wait until the very last minute before 15PM to have our room. You also have to go all the way down to take a shower.

Very good view from our bedroom window which I liked best. Second, it offers very good breakfast. Location is very convenient. The only thing not good is no private bathroom. Overall the stay is very good experience.

The reception folks were very courteous and helpful. I liked the access to the train station, bus as well as for the cable car from this lodge. I was pleased to find out that we can take the local bus (121,122) for free within the Grindelwald. Overall, it was a pleasant stay!!!!

Honestly, this was the second hostel that I stayed at and it was wonderful. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. I normally don’t ever do reviews but I had to do one for this place everything about it was perfect. And if you get a chance to get Klara as a receptionist, she was wonderful and answered all my questions.

Good location, dated rooms with terrible kitchen
Good location, but the rooms are really dated, the toilets/showers are really basic, the kitchen is really unpractical (no toaster, no oven or hob, just one microwave and a really small fridge for such a big hostel).

The guy at the front desk was very kind and helpful. I asked if I could switch rooms and he said he will check and then he was able to find another room for me. The rooms were clean and spacious. It’s also a great location, close to the terminal, bus stop, and train station.

I wanted to express my gratitude to a lady receptionist. I arrived early and stored my luggage in the baggage room and then put the key at the counter. I went to explore Interlaken and called to inform that I would be late for a proper check in and I needed to get the luggage from the baggage room which I didn't have the access to. She was really kind and waited for me, sorry to have kept you waiting.

It was okay, as far as low expectations for a hostel. The one toilet for women on my floor stopped working, instead of a sign, it appeared to just be locked, so women would stand there waiting.

Grossly overprices for what it is - a very bare bones hostel. We were told we needed to pay for towels and we needed to strip our own beds at the end of our stay. Fine, but not for 200 francs per night. We stayed in incredible hotels in Switzerland elsewhere for the same price (checkout the lodge in Niederhorn, for example). The rooms are outdated and simpler than pictured online. Think of a college dormitory from the 80s...smells a bit like it too. The shared bathrooms and showers are rather far from the rooms. The hot tub pictured looks as if it hasn't worked for quite some time. However, the location is very convenient, the breakfast is fine, and the rooms are clean.
