The location of the hotel is in a great area, located in the heart of the city. Everything close by. The rooms on the other hand were tiny and the beds were uncomfortable.

The room was clean and comfortable. There was no AC but you could open the windows which was nice in the evenings. The staff were very nice. There are dining options onsite and just behind the hotel in a courtyard. It was a nice walk to Interlaken train stain and a shorter walk to Interlaken West.

Terrific Location

We had a speedy checkin with welcoming reception staff. The hotel location was ideal for our short stay in Interlaken. The room was basic but comfortable and clean. Although the rooms are not air-conditioned we appreciated the provision of a fan in the room. We're happy to recommend based on our experience.

Entered the room to find out the sink was not passing water. A person came to fix it and removed the sink button and did some temperate fix. Totally pathetic experience. Wasted 2 hours. In terms of daily room cleaning, no bedsheet changes just folding the blanket. Even the stains on the bedhsheet remained as is.
Temporary fix wi to bucket that too bad

We understood the main differences between the guest house and the hotel before we went. Guest house doesn’t have hvac and room food get warm and humid without window open. We didn’t get bugs in the room though. The 4 bedroom apartment was adequate for us but being top level with upper beds where there was a slanted ceiling led to bumping heads a few times. Good for small children but not adults. However stairs were very narrow. Ideal a good stay and very conveniently located with lots of options all around.

We stayed here for 2 nights in the height of August - 3 of us in a family room (2 single beds downstairs and 2 on an upstairs mezzanine). There is no air conditioning but there were 2 fans, which were adequate. The room is very clean and very convenient for walking to the bus stop (which is free with a card from the accommodation) and only 10 mins walk from the railway station. Not a cheap place to stay - but nowhere is in Interlaken. Breakfast costs 25 Swiss Francs per person (which we did not try). Beds were very comfortable. Internet access was good (and free). Staff were very helpful, lending us an electric adaptor as our normal European one didnt match Swiss sockets. It would be good if a kettle was provided in the room. Overall we'd recommend this place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The Guesthouse lacks the amenities of the main hotel. Our room lacked a coffee maker and or tea kettle, leaving us unable to make coffee. The hotel provided a small coffee urn, but it was empty by 8:30 AM and not refilled. The bed was uncomfortable, with only one small pillow per guest. Additionally, there was no air conditioning, and leaving the windows open made the room noisy and lacked privacy due to the rooms directly across the narrow street. Overall, I would not recommend this place and would not pay the price for a 4-star hotel when it is more akin to a 2-star establishment.
