Full kitchen with many cooking stations and conventional ovens too. You can absolutely buy groceries and cook from scratch. Free breakfast (bread, cereal, yogurt, fancy coffee machine, hot chocolate, tea). Free dryers (coin laundry). Rooms are spacious if you book a private one. Next to bus station although train station is also walkable. Can borrow a hair dryer. Room amenities are limited but not a concern for us. Separate shower and toilet and sink in the room. Plenty of large lockers that will fit large suitcases, and lockers in the room if you're sharing the room with someone else. Recreational activities include ping pong, foosball etc. All free to use. Excellent location. Nice gardens and terrace spaces too.

This’s good option for middle price in peak season. We chose it because too late to find other hotel close to Interlaken Ost station. There’s a public sharing kitchen , that’s little convenient, however also uncomfortable because not really clean when people share using. That’s good they have a laundry room. Free breakfast doesn’t have many options, but enough for people to get some energy in the morning. The bus station is right on the front of right side so very convenience. They give you pass to use free buses & some train directions close of the town in stayed days. The minus point is no AC & fan in our stays that really terrible when it’s so hot & humid! My kids couldn’t sleep well, better little at nights when we opened the windows, however still uncomfortable because no air flow in room, the bugs could get in when opening the windows. The hostel is basic same motel in US. Overall I rate 7/10.
