The location of the hotel - right on top of Interlaken West - was perfect for exploring the area. Staff were helpful and polite. Only negative was the hot breakfast wasn’t the best, however there were pastries etc that we enjoyed.
Great location. Clean, modern rooms. Excellent bar area. Top notch Interlaken stay. Trains outside are incredibly convenient without being noisy. 10/10
This property was perfect in every way. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was a great size, very clean, and had a great view. I would highly recommend this property.
Place was great & super close to the train station west. Quiet, clean, great continental breakfast &staff was super nice and helpful. Really enjoyed my stay..
Very clean hotel right there at the train station. Breakfast was absolutely amazing and well above what we were expecting. The bar is extremely expensive for cocktails, however but aside from that it was a great place to make our base in Interlaken! Highly recommend!
Excellent apartment hotel with full kitchen. The location it’s next to the train. The staff members are amazing and have many things to eat at the bar. I would definitely stay here next time I visit Interlaken
Pretty nice hotel. Right by the train station which was convenient. Rooms were small but comfortable and breakfast was good. Staff were welcoming and provided a packed breakfast for us as we were heading out early in the day.
Great location. It was close to train station but I did not hear any trains at all. Very clean and comfortable. Pretty views. Staff helpful
Such a beautiful town to visit
Great hotel with nice room, very friendly, helpful and attentive staff, decent breakfast and awesome location. It is right by Interlaken West train station and very close to the buses. Would definitely recommend!
Beautifully, modern looking renovated hotel. A minute away from the station yet super quiet. Our balcony had a view to the glacier. Breakfast was superb!
The views of the river from the room were beautiful! The staff was attentive. Everything was really clean. The breakfast was delicious and abundant. The location was the best part! It was so close to everything we were planning on doing in the area and located right at the station. At first I was worried I’d hear the trains at night but we didn’t hear anything at all. The stay was truly fantastic! Thank you.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The location next to the train station was fantastic. The accommodations (room, breakfast) were excellent. However, the highlight of our visit was the delightful conversations we had at the bar with Anna and Guido. They are both incredibly talented mixologists, and their drinks were simply delicious! We hope Anna and Guido receive the recognition they deserve for their exceptional work. They are both incredibly kind and beautiful people, and we will be sharing our experience with friends as well as online so others have an opportunity to enjoy a similar experience. Thank you once again for a wonderful stay. Cheers!
Convenience to the train station was paramount. Made our sight seeing easy and painless. Room view was very nice. Bed comfortable, but pillows were no great, bed cover was either too hot or cold and didn't stay on the bed well.
