The Hotel Central Continental is located in a unique setting on the bank of the river Aare a mere one hundred yards from the Interlaken West train station; shopping street and the boat landing station. The hotel is very elegant and has high standards. Our newly renovated light and modern rooms provide everything required for an enjoyable stay. It is one of the few hotels in Interlaken with a wonderful view of the mountains most of the other hotels are surrounded by buildings. The Hotel Central Continental also has a nice roof garden with an excellent view of the Jungfrau Mountain. Additional Information; Children 1 and under stay free in the room with parents and in existing bedding. Children 2-12 years receive a reduction of 50 percent. The hotel reserves the right without prior notification to cancel any reservation with an invalid or incomplete credit card number.

The Hotel Central Continental in Interlaken was a very big dissapointment. When we checked in the clerk was rude and did not offer any information about the area. We found out that the hotel was supposed to offer a guest card so that we could use
the area transit system - when we inquired for the card we were told they could not be found. The room was dirty, the walls were marked and had small holes in them and there was no internet or A/C available. The downstairs lounge is an adult entertainment club (strip bar) - not very family friendly and attracts a bad crowd. We moved down the street to a very nice family owned hotel, Hotel Splendid, that was better priced, had free internet and breakfast included. The staff at Hotel Splendid was very warm and friendly and went out of their way to find us a room so that we could leave the Hotel Central Continental. I would never recommend this hotel to anybody.

Check out Hotel Splendid just down the road towards the East station - very good value for the money. For great Thai food go to My Little Thai at Hauptstrasse 19 in Matten ( 5 minute walk from Hotel Splendid).
