Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a stunning view of the Jungfrau, Monsch, and Eiger from the rooms, even though they are a bit tired. The service, especially during breakfast, was incredibly helpful, particularly with managing children. The location is excellent for exploring the Bernese Oberland but is a bit far from the center of Interlaken. The dining experience provides a diverse spread every morning but can be busy on Sundays. Overall, the hotel is a great base to discover the Junfrau Region.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was great for a ski-weekend trip, being just minutes away from the train station, the noise from the busy crossroads and unused conference room turned corridor created some discomfort. The service, especially from Selim and Dominika at reception, was top-notch with helpful information provided. The dining experience offered a variety of alpine amenities but got monotonous after a while. The facilities were decent, but the noise from the corridor and crossroads affected the overall ambiance.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The room I initially got was on a busy crossroads, but luckily, I was relocated to a larger room with a lovely balcony offering stunning mountain views. The service was friendly overall, but some staff members, like the owner, seemed unfriendly. The location was excellent, close to the train station and offering free transport passes for exploring the area. Dining options were good, although impacted by large groups at times.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and offered stunning views of Interlaken. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist. The location was perfect, close to transport links for easy exploration. The dining experience was excellent, especially the generous breakfast spread. Overall, a great value for money.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had a lovely view of the mountains but were extremely uncomfortable and had a challenging location within the hotel. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially towards my 3-year-old son. The location was good for accessing various Swiss places, although not well publicized. The dining options were varied with good breakfast choices. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.
