Yes it's a hostel but doesn't feel like it. The city is small so anywhere you stay is a great location but the rates were great considering how expensive Switzerland is. It was immaculate clean, easy to find and we had a wonderful waterfall view from the room. Our room also had a little porch. It's a simple place u... More

No it is not a 5star hotel but it feels like home away from home. It is clean and the room in which we were staying had a beautiful view of the falls. The staff are very friendly and helpful. And it is very close to the station!!! free wi fi. It was the third time I stayed in this... More

If we're reviewing Valley Hostel with a B&B or hotel standard, there would be a lot to blame. However, when considering it as a youth hostel, it offers a pretty high value for money in Switzerland. 9 years ago I stayed here with a male fellow backpacker so that I had an idea how simple every there is. This Apr... More

Rooms were nothing special and beds were small but the locations was nice and close to the center and Lauterbrunnen. A bit annoying not being allowed to wear shoes inside and a bit of a pain to have to make your own bed with the provided bead sheets. Also there was only one bed sheet

We stayed in a private room for our time in Lauterbrunnen, which was very affordable and very large room size, with super cute decor (the bed sheets with the cows and Swiss cross!). Great location, walkable to everywhere, right near the Station and the Falls. Friendly staff, clean kitchen and bathrooms, great cooking facilities, BREATHTAKING views. Would definitely go back.

Its my 1st time staying in a hostel but I don't feel like I am staying in one except for having to share toilets. Accommodations in Switzerland are very costly and this is an affordable option for staying in the beautiful Lauterbrunnen. It is situated a 10min walk from the train station and is relatively easy to find in the... More

This is a great deal for low budget travellers who are exploring the Lauterbrunnen valley and associated resorts. The Valley hostel costs c. £20 per night and is just 200 metres from the station. Reception is friendly and efficient, rooms are basic but you get your own key for the shared room and the showers/toilets are all that a traveller... More

Valley Hostel is situated at the most beautiful and magical place, Lauterbrunnen Valleys. It is a short walk (~5-10mins) from the train station and the hostel has a very warm and hospitable environment. I have stayed both in summer and winter to experience the different sides of Lauterbrunnen and Valley Hostel has always been my top choice for accommodations. For... More

Spent 2 nights here with my husband. Love, love, loved this place! It is extremely inexpensive compared to every other place in Switzerland! The only difference with it being a "hostel" is that you don't have room service, you have to put on your own sheets and take them off at the end of your stay, no towels provided, and... More

This hostel was the cleanest hostel I have ever been. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. But it was "too clean" for my taste and without any special atmosphere, so that is why I rated just as "average". Maybe the lack of atmosphere was because there were not young people at that time in the hostel.
