The host was super welcoming and friendly and had hosted us with a big smile, positive energy, and with our room ready. The room was HUGE and we had a little balcony, which we really, really enjoyed! We rented eBikes which we absolutely LOVED, and there is no better price in the area than at this hostel. The location was perfect, close and far enough from the center, close to a number of grocery stores. There was free coffee, which made a HUGE difference 🙏🏼 All the necessary kitchen supplies were there and we were able to cook. We were able to park at the property, and the host let us leave our car for a few hours after our check out. I will DEFINITELY stay at Walter's Hostel the next time I visit Interlaken, and it is definitely happening again! Thank you Marcus (please forgive if I didn't get the name fully correct), but I do remember that your dad's name is Walter! Thank you for hosting us 🙏🏼

My stay at Backpackers Villa Sonnenhof was amazing. The place is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need. The staff were always kind and helpful. They give you a Guest Card, which is super useful for getting around Interlaken. The train station is just a short walk away, and everything else, shops, restaurants, and a beautiful river is nearby. The views from the hostel are stunning. Definitely a place I’d love to visit again.

The location was absolute perfection. Located on beautiful Lake Brienz, surrounded by mountains and the sounds of birds. Across the road is a bar which also has food, such a great atmosphere and the views were breathtaking. Our room had a balcony which had lake and mountain views, it was unreal. We were so happy and felt so at peace and safe staying at Lake Lodge. Loved everything about our stay here!

I recently stayed at this charming hotel/hostel and had a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely stunning, offering a peaceful and beautiful setting. The room was cozy and comfortable, providing the perfect space to relax after a day of exploring. One of the highlights of our stay was the lovely and generous breakfast. There was a great variety of delicious options, which really set the tone for a good day ahead. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. We arrived early, and they kindly offered luggage storage, which was a big help. As a special touch, since it was my wife's birthday, the host took the time to ask if we had any special requests. They even left a thoughtful birthday card on our door in the morning, which really added to the personal and memorable experience. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a beautiful location, cozy accommodations, and warm, attentive hospitality.

I absolutely LOVED this hostel. It's just a beautiful as the photos show. The character of the heritage building is lovely. It oozes with the feeling of a secluded summer lodge, yet is close enough to interlaken to get to everything easily. The staff were kind, helpful and welcoming. They provided me gluten free buns for breakfast.

All hostels in Interlaken

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Can't fault this place. Definitely one of if not the best hostel I've stayed in. Clean facilities, comfy bedding, two types of charging ports near the bed swiss and European which suited me as I only had European. Good laundry facilities 10 CHF for wash and dry is free and the building was just lovely. Lots of places to chill sit, indoors and out and free locker storage on day of arrival and departure downstairs. I will be coming back here.

    Ignore other reviews, if you are here for an authentic budget backpacking experience look no further. This hostel is in a beautiful classic building, has amazing friendly and fun staff who went out of their way to add to our trip, great late night vibes and the lobby is even home to a lovely big St Bernard named Kai.

    I’ve never stayed at a Hostel before! My son, 14 and myself had a private room and although very $$ for a hostel, it was so much cheaper than other hotels. It honestly was perfect. The room was simple but had everything we needed and space. The breakfast was free and so good! Washing was $$$ but handy! I would definitely stay there again.
