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.

Our stay was overall good. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. It’s easy to get around. Overall, Zürich has nice train system. Appreciate the hotel offering train pass that is good in many locations. Break fast was better than expected.

It was a good location for visiting the Lauterbrunnen area. While it is 300 years old and does not claim to be modern there are certainly areas that could do with some maintenance. We had one meal in the restaurant, was okay but overpriced, although Switzerland does seem to be more expensive than surrounding countries. Bed was a bit uncomfortable, pillows quite uncomfortable. Sorry I’m not usually picky but this was not a cheap stay. At least breakfast was included, although 1 morning out of 3 it was out of some food by 8.30am after a big group went through. Shower was hot.

We had a good size room with a bathtub. We were upgraded to a balcony with a excellent view of the mountain. Restaurant options in the area are sparse. The dinner dining at the hotel is good, but expensive. The breakfasts are excellent.

Parking is available for off-season, however I can only assume parking is a nightmare during high season. Beds are European twins, so small, don't expect larger. The room are heated, almost too well but you can really enjoy the fresh air by opening windows and balcony. The view is worth every cent.

There are many stairs to climb as the description notes. Maybe a few more stairs than you might think. This was an older property with charming appeal. Though was fairly quiet even with older floors and a group of teens. The staff were friendly and helpful. Water pressure in the shower was perfect. Breakfast offered a variety of choices.

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!

Hotel with long history of servitude
300 year old hotel in beautiful Interlaken. No lift. Room provided for 3 adults is crowded. Location is 15-20 minutes walk from Widerswill train station, but there’s bus service if you don’t want to walk. Breakfast is excellent! Will I choose to stay here again? Hotel too old for my taste but it serves its purpose. Thank you!
