At just CHF73 for a 4-Bed Mixed Dorm which is a mere 30-second jaunt from the train station, manage your expectations, folks! I'd braced myself for a tired, grimy hostel, expecting pesky cockroaches and snappy staff after skimming some reviews. But voila! I was met with a delightful twist – a heartwarming experience complemented by a team of super welcoming and friendly folks. Those lockers in the room? A sweet bonus for security, ensuring your valuables are snug while you saunter through the enchanting streets of Interlaken. Dreaming of plush red carpets, sparkling chandeliers, and a butler at your beck and call? Time for a reality check on hostels! But if it's a fuss-free, solid base you seek as you embark on your day's adventure, this spot's a total gem! If you would prefer that Butler. The Chalet Margaux Penthouse might offer one at CHF 3677.

Hostel was ok (not great not terrible) as it could use some updates such as the beds and linens. Plugs by beds don’t work well as they hang upside down. It would be helpful to have a toilet/ sink within the shower rooms. Room was very warm at night especially on the top bunk. Breakfast was fairly good and location is good. Staff were friendly.

Excellent service, cleanliness, space and quality of room as good as it gets. One minor complaint; the pillows are lumpy and uncomfortable. Another minor complaint; it was hot outside, the rooms do not have ac, which is fine, I know the hostel is environmentally conscious which is one reason why we stayed there, but I think the rooms should have a fan to move air in the room. It was uncomfortable all night. The night before Interlaken we stayed in Lucern with no ac, even hotter at night but the fan in the room made all the difference. The breakfast is great, we had dinner there twice with excellent food quality at good prices, especially for Switzerland!

Stayed for a night on Aug 22,2023 to end our 10-Day fam hols before heading home. Booked on a Qaud Room with 2 bunk beds, shared T&B, with free breakfast. Centrally located just beside the main train station. The room is just warm on summer days thus we left the window opened through-out the night to get fresh air. Has to pay extra for the towel at €3/each, lines are provided. Warm reception - a bonus.
