Review 4：good location and clean , good breakfast and very helpful staff. Lea was very helpful , thank you.

Review 14：1. Little bit old 2. If bar is closed, someone can stay in 1st floor and it is not wide and convinient for eating breakfast. Only 5-6 chairs are prepared and table is not convinient to eat. 3. No breakfast

Review 15：1. Beside the hotel(not over 10 minuites walk), there are 3-4 bakeries which won the 1st prize in "Grand Prix de la Baguette de Paris" in 10 years. I found only two and it is not hard to find. 2. Kind reception 3. Clean room 4. I can drink and talk with at the 1st floor bar and I cannot hear the sound in my room. 5. There are two subway stations in 10 min walk and Montmartre is not far from the hotel.

Review 16：Nothing

Review 25：Wifi only works in the lobby.

Review 26：Great location just near the Interlaken-Ost station, around with supermarket and several restaurants. Staffs are friendly and helpful.

Review 27：Wifi only works in lobby which makes it uncomfortable when you have planning to do for your trip and there's children being loud in the lobby (schools were there when I was so it was always loud in the lobby and hallways).

Review 28：Great location, next to train station and close to town. Good rooms.

Review 31：The WiFi only works when we're at the lounge. Hence, it is a little inconvenient for us to use.

Review 32：The room is very spacious and well-maintained. I like that there is a sink in the room, which makes going to toilet less of a hassle. Our room is located pretty near the washroom so it is very easy for us to access them. The toilets are very clean and smells great! Kudos to the cleaning staff. And the pantry is just right in front of the lift on the same floor. Very convenient location, we don't have to wake up too early to catch our train. Breakfast was very good and they have a wide variety of selection. Overall, it was a great stay! Will definitely come back to stay here if I were to be back in Interlaken.

Review 33：there is no shared kitchen

Review 34：very good location which is next to train station, easy access to many top tourist spot, cleanliness, comfortable shower room and bed room, spacious shared living room in front of lobby, supermarket (coop) across the street.

Review 35：I had kept my receipt in the room which has user & pass for wifi so i asked reception to provide wifi user/pass when i came from outside and they refused to give. It is really bad experience,it is very obvious to forget or lose your receipt. Also i was not aware that it is really a "hostel" having limited facilities, not so recommended for families with this cost. Wifi not available in hotel rooms

Review 36：Location, very close to railway station. Some staff were really helpful & polite

Review 37：Wifi was only available in the lobby, so the lobby was always crowded.... I would rather have wifi in my room and pay more than have wifi available only in the lobby..! It was a good hostel overall though.

Review 38：I stayed in a 2 bed with private bathroom. The room was spacious, clean and comfy. The hostel was in a perfect location which is really close to Interlaken Ost. Breakfast was good too:)

Review 43：A minor issue.. the bottom sheets on the bed are a little rough.

Review 44：The closest place to the railway station in Interlaken. The staff are very helpful, friendly and English speaking.

Review 45：The location is very convenient but it also beside the very noisy train station. And becuase it was so hot there in July we wanted to leave the windows open but the trains were so so noisy and frequent it was difficult to sleep with them open. Very expensive. I know its Switzerland but it was still very expensive

Review 46：The restaurant was nice. Some of the staff were very nice. The place was clean and in a good location.

Review 47：Wi-fi connection was weak in my room so I had to use the internet in the lobby. In the lobby, internet speed was really good. It's a little bit expensive for backpackers. You had to pay 2 fr to get a towel.

Review 48：Location was exellent. It's just next to the station. It seemed to be built newly. Everything was clean and comfortable there. Lockers with card key were really spacious, convinient and reliable. Breakfast buffet was really nice. The staff was very helpful.

Review 49：Free wifi only at lobby, not in the room. The room is also very small for 4 persons.

Review 55：The 'free wifi' is only available in the lobby. There is no air conditioning in the hostel rooms, making it difficult to sleep on hot summer nights - even with the windows open.

Review 56：The breakfast was great! People of all ages were at the hostel. The staff are very helpful. Showers were private and pleasant.

Review 57：The hostel was very well situated for the railway station and a short walk to the town. The walks near the hostel were lovely and well signposted. Would recommend the free walking tour.

Review 58：WiFi is only available in the common areas, but we already knew this and it wasn't' a problem.

Review 59：Everything in Switzerland is very expensive, so the Youth Hostel provides a very affordable place to stay, with comfortable accommodation in the centre of Interlaken. It provided parking, breakfast and evening meal at good prices. It was a close walk to the Harder Kulm funicular railway to the top of the mountain for spectacular views.

Review 60：1. There were mosqitos so could not sleep well. My famaly were victim by the mosquitos. 2. It was very hot but no air conditioner. 3. Talk Noise and tabaco smell outside of the room until 12pm. Could not open the window and could not sleep.

Review 68：One washing machine for a huge building of people. Wifi worked only in lobby where there were flies flying around and landing on you. The plugs are oddly shaped so some adapters wouldn't fit. Since there was only one microwave you had to wait a while to cook food. No refrigerator to store food.

Review 69：The location next to Interlaken Ost made it easy to take day trips. Breakfast was good. Location close to grocery store good for picnic foods but since they only have one microwave for the whole hostel and one water heater cooking options were quite limited.

Review 86：This was the second time we stayed at Youth Hostel. It located right next to Interlaken station which makes travelling very convenient. We stayed with our friends in 4 in 1 room with bathroom, room was perfect was one night stay with comfortable bunk beds and nice shower room. Locker and Luggage room facility in hotel is very helpful as checkin starts only at 3pm so you can just drop you luggage and checkin later in the day. Breakfast has limited choice but I think its worth considering the price you pay for the room
