Okolica hostla

Prevelik hrup oseb, ki prihajajo pozno ponoči. Veliko žensk je nemarnih in ne skrbijo za čistočo prostorov. Rezervirala sem štiri posteljno sobo, dali so me v šest posteljno. Popivanje in razgrajanje pred hostlom. Za tistega, ki bi se rad naspal po napornem dnevu ta hostel ni pravi kraj

Beautiful views, but an uncomfortable and frustrating stay overall.

3.0

Our room had a beautiful view, and we really enjoyed the community spaces. They were welcoming, comfortable, and a great place to relax after a day of exploring.

Our stay was disappointing for several reasons. Our roommate was very loud, snored throughout the night, and smoked with the door open, leaving the room smelling like cigarettes. Because there was no air conditioning, the door had to stay open to keep the room from becoming unbearably hot, which also let in a lot of noise. The staff was not very helpful—whenever we had questions, they rarely knew the answers. When we arrived, the toilet in our room was broken, and it took multiple requests and days before it was finally repaired.

Countryside, quick and easy to get to the city or mountains, spectacular views and building!

Nothing.

Epic views, building and gardens, amazing staff! Public transport to all the attractions one block.

10.0

Excellent views from the room, great balcony to enjoy it from! You can see the beginning of the Lauterbrunnen Valley and Jungfrau in the distance, as well as the mountains close by. The staff was excellent! I loved this dramatic building, constructed back in 1908, truly special. Beautiful lounge, huge dining area both inside and outside! Beautiful garden and lawn. It has a countryside vibe, yet the bus stops a block away, so it's very quick and easy to get to either Interlaken, or if you want to head towards the Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen areas, take the bus to Wilderswil train station (the trains from Interlaken Ost stops at Wilderswil on the way there).

Not much!

Zonas comunes exteriores (terraza y jardín) para poder comer y descansar.

No había cocina completa. Solo disponía de un hornillo y un termo para calentar agua.
