We enjoyed our stay here. The staff at check in was quite off-putting but everyone else was great. Being so close to the train station was amazing! And the view from our room was awesome! If you’re looking for a luxurious hotel, this isn’t it. However, if you’re looking for a basic hotel that is close to the train station and still nice, this is a great option!

Old historic hotel, breakfast included easy to get to and from the train station.
This was a great location just a 2-3 minute walk from a major transit station. I would stay here again and I would recommend this. Considering what food costs in Switzerland, free breakfast was important.
There is a warning on the back of the bathroom door that if you steam up the room and set off the fire alarm, it's a 150CHF fine, and I was worried about it before I showered. I later learned that it is not a problem at all at standard shower temperatures. No need to stress.
I stayed in a one twin bed room. It was small but not cramped and had everything I needed.

Positives:
Very close to train station, market and eateries with vegetarian options.
Lake facing with good scenic beauty.
Negatives
No electric kettle in room. To get hot water you have to go to lobby. The hot water container is generally switched off and you have to wait for 30-45 minutes for water to get hot.
Not enough lights in the room.
Charging sockets for phones were difficult to find. Found one behind bed side table almost at floor level.
Did not find it value for money.

Hotel is under renovation. The rooms beside ours is undergoing demolition. Good thing we were there only at night. The hotel needs to improve customer service in general. Maybe because the hotel is really dated and undergoing renovation but customer service shouldnt be compromise. Breakfast should serve better, fresher food, fruits!
The receptionist was rude while I checked in. The breakfast was below average compared to other hotels in Switzerland. Overall this hotel is only good for its location as it’s near Interlaken West station and is adjacent to a river.
Breakfast was very nice. Hotel staff were pleasant and very polite & helpful. A little construction was ongoing but not a negative factor at all. Close to trains.
We loved our stay here!! Make sure to request a room with a balcony & view of the water, absolutely stunning views of the mountains & city. Affordable and great location. The women at the front desk gave us great recommendations. Breakfast options were just ok & not super clean (ex: utensils could’ve been washed better, etc) but can’t complain. It had an espresso machine which was very nice. Definitely recommend staying here!
Very Convenient Location next to Interlaken West Train Station. Great Variety at Breakfast! Room was perfect for my 5 night stay. Great view of the Alps from room and at breakfast
Central location and great room. Pricy, but excellent breakfast options and price is comparable to others in the area... It's a tourist town, so it's expected, I guess.
Room was not sound proof despite closing windows and terrace doors, so early morning disturbance from loud tourists and trains in the area
