The hotel includes breakfast, which is a bonus! The location is perfect too, right next to Interlaken Ost station and just a few minutes away from Harder Kulm.
The room was clean and tidy, very close to the city center, the breakfast was great, but one of the staff members (Charlotte) was very unfriendly, and the service attitude was terrible.
Near train station and scenic park. Nice breakfast and dinner . Coffee & beer available. Roomy lounge. Some rooms face the mountains for a fantastic view.
This place is designed to be shared with others. This concept may be new to many. But if you understand it and accept it, you will see how great of a place this is. The location is great for traveling to and out of Interlaken. It is close to Harder Kuln and interlaken Ost train station.
Pros: clean, free breakfast, close to train station, close to Harder Kulm, river just right outside accessible and teens were able to swim.
Cons: restroom and shower room is shared on each floor, sleep on bunk beds, really super hot if u go in the summer, no AC , they don’t provide electric fans in the room, close to train station, so its hard to sleep at night with all the train noise; a friend who stayed with us in the room had rashes all over, not sure if it was from the bed or duvet
Excellent for the price, location is also excellent for tip links and proximity to local town. I’ve stayed in hotels that were not as good as this hostel !!

We’ve booked one night in a 4 pax private room with private showers.
The basic amenities needed are provided. There’s a children play area at ground level which is excellent for parents.
This is our first time staying in a youth hostel, so it was quite an experience having to make our own beds with the sheets provided.
Breakfast was served in a comfortable environment.
Youth Hostel's location is the IDEAL gateway being at the central hub in exploring the beauty of the Jungfrau region ... few steps from Interlaken Ost train and bus stations with a nearby (2) Coop store and the back of the building overlooks the beautiful Lake Brienz .... breakfast buffet though consistent of its daily menus, will fill one's satiety enough to start your beautiful day. You can also safekeep your luggage if you arrive ahead of the check-in time or want to explore more hours of Interlaken after check-out which saves one of luggage storage fees offered in the train stations.
We enjoyed our stay at Youth Hostel. We will definitely stay here again with the chance to go back and will book at the earliest so as not to run out of a room with private bathroom.
It was really easy finding the youth hostel after getting off the train. The rooms were quiet and clean, great breakfast in the morning, and amazing location
