This is very close to Interlaken West Station if you want a short walk. The bedding is comfortable in our liking. Breakfast floor has an amazing view of the area. Breakfast was very good in our tasting. I would stay here again for the convenient to train station.

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT - there is NO AIR CONDITIONER in the room, rooms are dirty, and spider webs in the corners. The carpet in the hallways is probably 100 years old and smells like a dirty bathroom. The whole building smells. Located right across the street from the train station - so no air, you have to open windows, and train and traffic noise is literally in your room - no escape. There is no stuff during the night, you are on your own. Overall - terrible experience, would not recommend this hotel.

Andrei and Julie are the best hosts. Accomodated my request for 1 room with extra bed which is not a norm in Interlaken. Very central, across the ainterlaken West and other shops and restaurants, including groceries. Will definitely come back to their hotel whenever I come back to Interlaken.

Congrats to the new management, inviting all guests to the new management celebration was a great touch. Enjoyed meeting the staff. The friendliness of the owners and helpfulness is memorable. Special mention to Noah at the reception for her professionalism! Only issue I had was street noise, I asked for 3 quiet rooms, unfortunately for me mine was on the street and couldn’t keep the window open past 4am due to noise. But then without cooling system the room became too warm. I’m sure management will find a solution :)
