Doorstep to Interlaken West train station. Migros and a shopping mall are just opposite. High speed wifi. Breakfast is good. Junior suite comes with a bunk bed for my kids and an open patio facing the lake. Beautiful view. Luggage storage available. Cons: Toilet door no lock. Room size is good for stay. Just no much space in room to open our 4 luggages.

Literally at the doorstep of Interlaken West station, you can walk out from the hotel directly to the platform so it cannot be more convenient. Close to shopping street with plenty of food options as well. Room condition is clean though it can be a bit dusty, amenities provided are sufficient (but only one complimentary bottle of water over three days of stay). Breakfast has a good spread. Overall a nice stay.

Great loaction, right at Interlaken west station. Plenty of food options nearby and a short walk into the main area, we always felt safe. Hotel was very modern and clean (a bit of dust but I think just because it's a new hotel/build). Breakfast had decent options but the eggs were overcooked each day. Only issue was the room has no fridge and there is no gym/spa.

The rooms categories isn't not listed when booked. I spent more then US$ 230.00 for a cave type room which has no view at all. Paid $50.00/ night extra for a room with outside view. Rooms have no microwave, waterb oiling cattle & refrigerator. Also no iron inside the room. They provides upon request. Bathroos are so small and ignored by house keepers for shampoo, conditioner, body lotion etc. No space for clothes to hang. Basically very small rooms that you can hardly move around.

Great stay here. Hotel is at the train station so it could not be any easier to get to your train or room. Hotel is modern, clean, and comfortable. Best shower during our stay in Switzerland!. Supermarket is right the street for your everyday meals. Highly recommend.

Doesn’t get easier. This property is located right at the Interlaken West train terminal. After a long day it was so awesome to be dropped almost at the front door to the hotel. The free breakfast is a legitimate breakfast with all kinds of options from eggs, croissants, cereal, tea, coffee and more breakfast cravings. Great service, clean hotel!

Pro: Clean and good location; Con: Guest rooms are next to the train track. Avoid this hotel if you are sensitive to the noise. The guest rooms are quite small, which cannot compare with average two star hotels in the U.S. The hotel staff is reluctant to help their customers.
