We enjoyed this hostel right next to Interlaken OST. The room was very clean, spacious, and with great view of the mountains. There were many food options with the free breakfast to get you ready for the day.

Knowing it is a hostel, don’t have much expectation. But can’t justify with the price. room was good size with private bathroom, but old furniture, beddings, and shelves. Waste of space for just a tiny table and small bath room. Don’t feel relaxing to stay in the room. The common kitchen was old and small, only 1 microwave and kettle, ripped counter top. Limited seating, worse than a cafeteria. Can’t imagine when it is summer tourists season how it can accommodate visitors. The only pro was great breakfast and steps away from train/bus station and supermarket.

Super close to train station. A very basic hotel (if you booked a private bathroom, a shared bath will have nothing besides the bed), anything extra (towel etc) has to pay. A hair dryer requires a deposit. Do your own bed after checked in. Put bedding into the laundry basket out the elevator when check out. No services. If booked more than one day, only thing did is clean your garbage.
