Honestly I know hotels in Switzerland are generally more expensive but in hindsight I wish I had of paid a bit more for a better hotel . We came in a heatwave and I knew it didn’t have air con so that’s not hotels fault but it was one wee fan and it was torture . The whole hotel was like an oven then room were you eat breakfast didn’t have as much as s window open we literally couldn’t eat breakfast it was that hot . The hotel hasn’t been decorated in like 100 years , the bed was rock hard , Stains on carpet ,key for room was a big weight on the key . The only good points are that the hotel is right beside train so really central and the train noise doesn’t bother us . I also am stunned at some of these wonderful reviews and I’m not a Karen I’m actually quite easy going but I paid over £700 for 3 nights which left bad taste . really think if they actually put money into this hotel it would make a big difference

The biggest advantage of this hotel is the location—it’s close to the train station but because of that there’s so much noise during the night. We booked a “mountain view” room and yes, there was a mountain far away but in reality it was a “train station” view room (first floor). Constant train traffic and people yelling so we couldn’t leave the windows open (no A/C). Spacious and clean room, however smell of urine came out of either the toilet or the bidet. The door opens with an actual (HEAVY) key instead of a card—it takes a few tries to make it work. The hotel is like 1000 years old and hasn’t been renovated so if this is your vibe you might like it. WiFi worked well. Breakfast included (limited choices but good food + excellent coffee and lovely river view). It’s funny though that we paid the same amount for a hotel in Luzern and that was a fancy 4 star hotel.

The customer service and genuine concern for their guests was SUPERB! The 2 brothers that run and own this establishment went above and beyond for us from the minute we checked in till LONG after we checked out! Their kindness was so appreciated and we adored them! The view from our room was of the mountains and the train station. We were crawling distance from the train station! When you’re staying in Interlaken and going all over the place by train this is HUGE! I really liked our room and the wonderful breakfast that we had there! I absolutely loved this place and even though it may not be a 5 star hotel, it checked every single box that makes me give it the highest rating allowed! Wonderful stay and I would stay there again in a heartbeat!!!

The hotel gave us an exceptionally great time with their location (Bang on opposite of the metro station), over looking breathtaking river view from the room and the warmth. The staff was limited but always there to help and guide. A special mention and shout out for Hamid, who was so so helpful in every little thing we needed. Worth Appreciation. Thank you so much team for this experience. We would love to come back soon :)

The hotel is right across the road to the Interlaken OST. We got the lake facing room with the balcony opening into the backwaters. The room was huge and bathroom were one of the best we have been to. Hamid in the front desk was exceptionally helpful. We will be back soon. The hotel felt a little dated and the bathroom fixtures felt very old.

Very nice hotel. Right next to train station and also Lake Brienz boat. Trains weren’t too loud. No AC in rooms but it wasn’t too bad at night. Bathrooms are nice. Mattress was on the hard side and the pillows were flat as a table top. The breakfast was ok but not great. Only had cereal and breads. Staff was nice and helped out when a request was made.

Convenient location, scenic vistas. Enjoyed my stay in this historic hotel, wished I could stay longer! The room furnishings are colonial style. I love waking up to the sounds of chirping birds and the beautiful river views. It is just across from Harder Klum, which is open from April to Oct only.. it is also just across from the Interlaken OST train station, and walking distance from the town. However, do expect the noise from the trains as they pass by. That's why ear plus are given. Since it is an old hotel, the floors creak when u walk on them. Totally expected when you stay in a historic place like this. The service was great, and I enjoyed the breakfast. The cappuccino is awesome! Thanks to all the attentive staff.

Hotel is located just across train station making your travels easier. Though it is near train station it is relatively quiet. Our room was overlooking mountain and river. The hotel needs updating it’s decor . Not much choices for breakfast.

The hotel is perfectly located. It's right across the Interlaken OST train station and the boat station is next to it. It's by the river Aare which gives it a lovely view. The staff is very friendly. Couldn't ask for a better situated, clean, convenient and friendly hotel. It's an old one but very well kept. Don't expect modern furniture or art work but it is quaint and beautiful in its own way. Walking distance to restaurants, shops, bus. We only stayed one night. Breakfast was just ok, I wish they had more meat variety.
