Lovely location, very easy to find, signposted all the way. Great room, clean and big with linen and towels. My parents hadn't been to a hostel before and were skeptical, but loved it in the end. We loved the huge kitchen(s) and made our own food! Free city transport card and free tokens for hot drinks.. Great views from the... More

But it turned out to be extremely neat & clean with comfortable rooms & extremely friendly & helpful staff. It was a great experience & we would def go back if we ever return... More

Backpacker's Villa is a relatively big hostel and is in between Interlaken West and OST station. It takes about 10 mins to walk from either stations but you'll get free public transportation with a card you receive upon your arrival. This hostel attracts a lot of Asians from Korea and China. It has a kitchen at the basement which allows... More

Way beyond my expectations. Friendly and very helpful staff check you in, upon which you receive a card which entitles you to free use of the swimming pool and minigolf course just a 10-minute walk away, as well as complimentary public transport around town. Leisure, lounge and cooking facilities were excellent - a kitchen clearly built for many people to... More

I have been here twice and cannot think of a better place to stay in Interlaken. The hostel is extremely vibrant and has an upbeat atmosphere. The staff at reception are always willing to help and are very friendly. Availability of a big kitchen space with all amenities is a huge plus point. I love it.

Cozy modern lodge set in the touristy area of interlaken. Young and helpful team, well conversant in english. Bit of a walk from both stations but under 10 mins. What's there to complain when the walk is made up for by views of green fields set against gorgeous alps? Hostel was self sufficient,clean sheets and towels. Best part was the... More

The staffs were super helpful and friendly, they were willing to answer with any question I have about interlaken and around. I stayed in a 4 bed room with my family, it was clean and comfortable. The toilet and bath room in my room were also very clean and give enough space. From my room I can see the view... More

Stayed for two nights in the eco dorm after seeing good reviews. First thing that hits you when you enter the room is the amazing view of the alps which you get at high-end resorts. Great time spent chilling on the balcony with the breathtaking view. Needless to say, the hostel was convenient (straightforward 10-minute walk from interlaken ost). Rooms... More
