Wonderful cozy space with amazing views
Reviewed By elizabethhY6298QFA friend and I stayed there for 2 nights to explore the area and loved this hotel. The staff was friendly and courteous and helpful. It is a bit of a walk and it's pretty much all uphill from the train station so if you have a lot of luggage I recommend a bus or arranging a ride but once you are up there the view is wonderful. I would stay again if I was back in the area

Our host Christine was so nice and helpful, we felt like coming home. We will definitely come back.
Reviewed By muhammedo640Although we traveled to so many cities in Europe and Asia, we never experienced such a host like Christine. Such a warm person who shows sincere interest, we literally cried when we left. We traveled to Interlaken for the first time and found this hotel through Booking.com. We stayed here for 5 nights and it was surely not enough to see all the beautiful places around Interlaken. The hotel is located on the corner of the main road towards the city centre and about 7 mins walking distance to Interlaken West train station. We stayed in a double room which was not so big, but this was exactly what we expected and what you pay for. If you desire a super big room and ac you should book a 5 star hotel for double the price. We went to Interlaken for traveling so the only thing we did in the hotel was sleep, shower and breakfast.. for these things this hotel is perfectly suitable. The rooms are clean, shower gives high pressure water and the breakfast.. amazing! Our host Christine was so nice and shows true hospitality. She prepares the breakfast, which included fresh fruits, different kinds of cheese, breads, coffee, tea, juice, yoghurts.. The breakfast was really above our expectations. Christine greets us every morning and was sincerely interested in what we were planning to do that day.. She gave recommendations and because of her help we had an amazing experience in Interlaken. We will definitely come back to Interlaken and to hotel Alphorn!!

Great value
Reviewed By Caddilac89Few minutes walk away from Interlaken West, 2 bus stops close to the hotel and buses are free to use with guest card. My twin room on the highest floor is very clean and spacious with comfortable bedding, strong WiFi and there is a small fan in my room. Shared toilets are kept clean. Breakfast is simple but adequate, the lady is very friendly and always check if we need another coffee. Just be prepared to climb the stairs if you get the room on fifth floor, as well as some noise from the restaurants downstairs at night until around 10pm if you room is facing the street.

Ms Wong
Reviewed By cheukszew2020The Worst Hotel Ever Mr George is not a good hotel host. When I check in the hotel, Mr George tells us the room is not allowed to eat hot food in the room, but while the Swiss government has close all the restaurant. The hotel should state this information in the online travel agent. The host is so rude that he yells at us not once but twice by saying some very bad words, there is no reason for a so called 'hotel' staff to yell at their customers, we did wrong and we would accept any punishment but we could not accept a hotel staff to yell at us and saying bad words. In my point of view, the host makes us feel that we are not welcome to the hotel from the beginning, we were being discriminated because of our nationality. Moreover, the hotel wifi connection is very poor and slow.

The Chalet Hotel Steinbock is a beautiful wooden chalet, right in the centre of Grindelwald, just next to the first gondola (skiing area in winter, hiking paradise in the summer). The Steinbock was mentioned in books in 1700, but was completely rebuilt in 1991. It is famous for its restaurant - the most popular restaurant in town - with Italian and Swiss cuisine. The restaurant is famous for the huge steaks, the great pizzas, the excellent liver, to just name a few dishes.

Lovely hotel with a character, we had a great stay
Reviewed By EvaP24We stayed for 4 nights and had an amazing time. Check in was all smooth, we arrived early and were planning to leave bags and go explore a bit but we managed to get our room 2 hours before usual check-in time. The hotel is an old traditional building but thats its charm. If you want modern and all shiny then maybe try and find somewhere else. The room was amazing, we got the spacious en-suite one with a balcony. I would recommend to properly check what you are booking as some rooms have shared bathrooms so you avoid disappointment on arrival. Switzerland is an expensive country so if you want a budget room its not fair to then complain about room being small and bathroom being shared. Read small print. Also don’t think its a very suitable place for families with kids. Its an old wooden building and the floors are squeaky, can be bit loud at times. Saying that we were only woken up once overnight by someone walking upstairs. Most nights it was peaceful and quiet. The restaurant was amazing and I cannot praise the chef enough. I need a strict gluten free diet and the hotel made sure I had appropriate breakfast provided every day. The chef was happy to tweak some dinners so I could eat it as well, however plenty of yummy gluten free options available on a standard menu. Absolutely loved rostis and couldn’t get enough of it. Its a very convenient location, about 2-3 min walk from the Wilderswil train station. There are some walks locally as well. We did a long lovely walk locally passing by an old church and along the river. Overall we would def be happy to stay there again.

All our rooms at 5th Floor @ Hotel Interlaken are newly renovated Basic Rooms, situated on the 5th floor (lift till 4th floor) of the Hotel Interlaken.

The rooms are equipped with water boiler with free coffee and tea, flat screen TV and hair dryer. A breakfast buffet in the Restaurant Taverne is included in the price. Directly behind the hotel you will find a large number of public parking lots (subject to charges).
Good value for money
Reviewed By MagsD879Room 502 exceeded our expectations. It was cool, quiet and comfortable. Yes, it is true that you have to walk up one flight from the 4th floor and that there is no A/C but it is not often hot enough in Interlaken to need it and there is a good fan. Also, even though I was expecting to share a bathroom, our room did have a small bathroom with a very good hot shower with strong pressure, beds were comfy, breakfast plentiful (and included in price which is often not the case when booking through Booking.com.). For the price, it was good. I would return.
9. Happy Inn Lodge
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 165 reviews
Situated in the most beautiful region in Switzerland the Happy Inn Lodge offers a cozy hostel accommodation with a relaxed and casual atmosphere in the center of Interlaken. Located just 5 minutes walking distance from Interlaken West-Station, the lodge is the best starting-point for excursions, adventure and sports in summer and winter. Our bar and restaurant, the 'Brasserie 17' is Interlaken’s no 1 spot for food and fun! From September - June we organize every Thursday night a live music concert from 9 to 12 pm. - Party time!
Perfect for a short stay
Reviewed By FlowerGypsy85The central location is pretty hard to beat, plus there is a pub downstairs that serves food/alcohol until late, and is really popular among the locals. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the showers were very new and clean (although be aware they are shower stalls). We stayed in the Twin Room which was super small, but good enough for us since we didn't spend much time in it. It needed a super clean but wasn't incredibly dirty or anything. There is also a self catering kitchen with a fridge, microwave, etc. (but no oven) and many tables you can sit and eat at. If you're staying only for a couple of days in Interlaken and want a true "backpacking" experience then this place is hard to beat
10. Hotel Dakota

Clean and fresh hotel with an airplane theme- love it!
Reviewed By Jon_the_Traveller_CAClean and fresh hotel with an airplane theme- love it! Building is older but certainly renovated and the room furnishings were nice and contemporary and clean. Odd reception hours (close at 8pm) and seemingly no management on site over night- they rely on some central switchboard in Germany to answer guest questions after hours? Breakfast was fine- some lack of choice, but filling. I would stay here again.
