Very old building with what seems like original fixtures that need replaced. Sink drips, lights are very dim, floor creaks with every step of yours and other guests around you, spiders/bugs everywhere. No person at reception or signage telling you where to go to check in, even after checking in online still had to go through a tablet based check in that I already completed. Cost per night is ridiculous for what you get.
I had a great experience at this hostel. The atmosphere was very social, and I enjoyed sharing and speaking with the other guests. The kitchen and dining hall were lovely, fully equipped, and became the main place where people spent most of their time. The key card system was also fantastic. My only minor issue was that there was often a queue for the showers, so a smoother system there would have made the stay even better.

Overall the accommodation was good - the room was a good size and the place was clean and tidy. Although it would benefit from better pillows and aircon or a ceiling fan during summer.
Our main issue was the shocking experience we received from one member of staff at check in - a fairly young asian lady. We rang the bell not realising we are required (not optional) to use the self check in. When she arrived her first words were 'Is there a problem?'. We responded there was no problem we just wanted to check in. She then said 'Yes, so whats the problem?'. We didnt understand and her response was 'It is self check in and unless there is a problem with self check in then there should be no problem'. Weve never experienced such poor service and she continued in this tone until we pointed out she should probably actually greet new arrivals and explain things as if they havent been there before before going straight to this kind of tone - which is still unprofessional and entirely unacceptable. The poor attitude continued as she checked us in and we didnt bother coming back to reception to ask for advice on activities, which was one of the reasons we chose this accommodation.
Overall poor review due to the shocking first impression given by one staff member.
It was a good spot for interlaken. Very accessible but away from busy area. If only the room has AC units during summer. Otherwise the stay is pleasant
It’s a simple hostel, but the room was clean and as advertised. The check-in system is automated and worked fine. You can pay 5 francs to check-in early. The balcony was nice; location was great.

Very convenient location, but ceilings were very thin and floors very squeaky. Pillow also very flat, almost
Non-existent
The room was clean, and overlooking the canal, which was lovely. Room was a little small, but quaint and very clean, so no complaints overall. Lovely little place.
