The breakfast buffet stands out in the memory as being plentiful and extensive. The staff were attentive and friendly and constantly replenishing the items. The bedroom decor may be a little dated, but everything was clean and comfortable (the staff again being attentive and friendly) and the bathroom was spacious and modern. A convenient and well-kept hotel.

Room had no Ketttle, wall paper was peeling off, no lock in the bathroom. There was a warning in the bathroom that fire alarm could set off due to steam from bathroom and users will be charged 150CHF, which I never had seen anywhere. Also it is way overpriced based on the room they offered. However, I believe they are renovating now so may be better in the future.

Disliked: Room comfort
The hotel is in a perfect location. Staff are friendly. The room we stayed in was okay but the bed felt like it was going to break every time I moved. The bedding felt like cardboard, not to mention the pillows that felt like I was sleeping on a rock. On top of that, the walls were so thin that I could hear every conversation next door and them snoring.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is very convenient to Interlaken West station and a number of dining and shopping options, including a COOP right next door. Breakfast was good and the rooms were adequate. But the facility as a whole, acknowledging that it is a historic building, is very run down. Worn carpeting, dents, cracks and chips in walls and trim work, peeling and in some cases moldy wall paper and paint, and outdated furnishings and electrical service. No AC but room fans which help in summer. Did not visit bars but their hours appeared ‘fluid’. They do sit next to the river so when they are open, perhaps the setting is okay. To be fair, there is ongoing construction on the facade and a common bath off dining area so perhaps improvement is coming. In summary, a convenient stay if you’re not fussy and don’t plan on hanging out in the hotel (and why would you, you’re in Interlaken).
