"The views of the river from the room were beautiful! The staff was attentive. Everything was really clean. The breakfast was delicious and abundant. The location was the best part! It was so close to everything we were planning on doing in the area and located right at the station. At first I was worried I’d hear the trains at night but we didn’t hear anything at all. The stay was truly fantastic! Thank you."

"We had a two bedroom apartment with an amazing view of the mountain. Fantastic location right in the heart of Interlaken and bus stop right out front. Great view of all the paragliders. Only complaint was the towels were awful. Like - scratchy and small - something you'd find at a low-budget hotel. Really seemed off-brand to have cheap towels at a nice hotel."
