Stay was good, room and bathroom was clean. Room included a small balcony as well. Floors were quite creaky.

Very sad room

I had booked a superior room, but there was absolutely NOTHING superior about it. I think they gave me a standard room … and even by those standards it was a very sad room.
Allan, 1-night trip

We liked this hotel very much. The only issue for us was lugging multiple pieces of heavy luggage up several flights of stairs.

Beautiful small hotel

Beautiful area, delicious breakfast, too much parking available at the hotel, bus stop just 2 minutes walking distance!!! It was a beautiful experience. Thank you so much!!!

10/10 Exceptional

I got exactly what I wanted out of an old Swiss property. The staff was very nice. The broom was comfortable with the private bathroom and shower. The bed was nice with the TV in the room and everything went very well. The restaurant was excellent and for 300-year-old hotel they've done a great job at at keeping up with the times inside.

10/10 Exceptional

Cute area with the best views. It was easy to catch the bus downtown. Breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had. Hotel is older but very clean. Bathroom had funky smell.

Cosy stay

The hotel staff were helpful and friendly. Our room was perfect for our needs. We really enjoyed the breakfast. The Silvester Party on New Year's Eve was lots of fun. It was very generous. Only downswide, there was no snow! Proof of global warming :-(

I stayed there for a night , so there for I can’t say much. But the room was not that much comfortable, specially that bed was very uncomfortable to sleep. Otherwise was ok .
Ngawang, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No A/C so had to leave windows open. Street noise at times was an issue. Otherwise, well located and nice hotel overall.
Miguel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bus was every 30mins, a little bit of a walk from train station, not a lot of restaurant or store to choose from. Staff were very nice. It's an old hotel, bed and floor makes creaky sound. Understand no airconditioner so you open the window but staff smokes outside and it goes to your room. Breakfast was good!
arlene, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is good and easily accessible from bus and railway station. However, the room was on 3rd floor and property does not have lift / porter. Further, rooms are very small and owner is little rude.
Divesh, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was great! You are not happy to find out that they charged for parking in their own parking lot because we did not book directly with them. They said there is an 18 Swiss franc charge for parking when booked through Hotels.com or other online booking services
Deborah Scattergood, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a traditional Swiss style hotel in a village just outside of Interlaken. The location is stunning, with mountains visible from the neighbourhood, and there are good transport links to Interlaken with a regular bus service and frequent trains. You get a travel card when checking in, so we used this transport to get around. There is plenty of parking at the hotel, it cost 10 CHF a day. Our rooms were comfortable, albeit a little dated. There is no lift so we lugged our suitcase up 3 sets of stairs to the room. There is a kettle, but coffee/milk is extra. However the accommodation was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly too. We went for the half board option, and the evening meal was really good with a tasty selection of local dishes, plus a children’s menu. Breakfast was continental, although we found that by 9AM the food choice had become a bit more limited.

좋은 추억 감사합니다.

친절한 직원분! 감사합니다! 위치가 조용하고 접근성도 좋아요. 인터라켄보다 경제적이고 접근성도 나쁘지 않아요. 그란델발트와 인터라켄 고민했었는데 이것에 숙소를 잡기 잘했다는 생각을 합니다. 아침 조식도 나쁘지 않고 숙소 테라스에서 바라보는 경치도 끝내줍니다!
