Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is the most unbelievable hostel that you will ever stay in. It is absolutely beautiful and pristinely queen and in a great location. Don't be tempted to stay like over by the shops because that's kind of a terrible area this is over where there are mansions and it's easily walkable from the train station. Also they give you a bus card for free anyway but anyone could walk it it's like 5 minutes. The rooms are great the breakfast area is great the view is great it's just amazing

    This Lodge is like a hostel with a share kitchen. I don't recommend it for a family with children, more suitable for budget option seeking pairs and groups.

    Almost everything.. Comfortable bed with own plug and lamp, individual locker with acces card lock. Toilet in the room BUT shower outside the room. Big kitchen space with regular cleaning. Ample space to hang out indoor and outdoor. Staff were friendly and helpful. Washing machine cost 10 CHF and free dryer machine. Just sometimes not enough to accomodate many user at once. Great location, near bus stop to train station at west or ost. Price were the cheapest in the area & with many facilities. Breakfast simple but enough for me.

    Perhaps the cheapest youth hostel in Interlaken. You get what you pay for. Everything was perfect, the room was clean and also the sharing toilette and bad room. If you are hungry, just go down the stairs because it is a bar. And very close to the Interlaken West train station. After that, the supermarket and a lot of restaurants were nearby. What I found maybe a bit annoying was the squeaking of the wooden floor (I think, because it is an old building).

    Amazing hostel, good location, very good host, incredible breakfast with view. You also have the possibility to do your laundry which is very practical for backpackers and you have a shared kitchen with cheap beers and sodas. The room is very big as well and you have a terrace with a very nice view.
