This was our second time staying at Youth Hostel Interlaken, and once again, it did not disappoint. The hostel is clean, modern, and offers great value for money. It’s affordable and incredibly convenient—located just a short walk from the Interlaken Ost train station, which makes it an ideal base for exploring the region. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. We especially appreciated the comfortable common areas and the breakfast that’s included in the stay. We’d definitely come back again!

Clean and friendly place. Room for four is comfortable with a secure locker. Only negative point is the power socket by the bed is very loose and phone chargers easily fall off. But good value for money other than that. Location is amazing.

The hostel itself is clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with a great atmosphere that makes it feel welcoming and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We also appreciated the affordable rates, especially for such a scenic location. The breakfast offered a good variety, and the facilities were great for preparing meals or simply relaxing. Overall, Youth Hostel Interlaken is a fantastic place to stay for those looking for budget-friendly accommodation without compromising on comfort or location. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

We stayed in private bedroom with balcony. Wonderful floor to ceiling window with great views of Harder Kulm funicular, river and cows. We can hear the charming faint rings of the cow bells day and night. The trains run by regularly so you will hear it with the balcony door ajar. However excellent soundproofing if you want to close the door. Good size balcony but spider webs everywhere. The walls could really use a fresh coat of paint, especially the wall next to the head of the bed. No hairdryer provided but can be rented from front desk with a refundable 20CFH deposit. The bathroom not very bright and fluorescent tube above mirror had an annoying flicker. Good sensible layout. Free breakfast was plentiful and had all the basic breads, muesli, cold cuts , cheese, juices and coffee. Huge bonus is it’s only steps away from Interlaken OST the main train station. A big Coop supermarket is across the street. We would definitely stay again.
