Just unbelievable ♥️ great dinner option fairly priced, good buffet breakfast included… value for money The dorm room was cheap for the view and comfort you get!!!

everything was great. the facilities (showers lockers beds kitchen bathroom etc..) were all always clean and are sturdy and well made. never did i feel the hostel was taking shortcuts to cut cost. kitchen had ample utensils. alot of space to eat. there were so much free services just for guest comfort (even other than the ones mentionned here like free tennis and pool access and free shoes that u can use and return free day lockers and more). Nothing can do the staff and views from the hotel justice.

The hostel was so nice; you get a free towel and a pair of house slippers and an amazing view from the balcony; you have a place to dry the clothes; and a kitchen to make your own food (equipped with all the necessary tools you need to cook; you just need to bring groceries to cook). It was great value for money. All the amazing views are around the corner, such as the Staubbach Falls, river, and mountain alps.

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.

Henryk is a very welcoming host. The dormitory was really clean, and it is a great place to stay 15mins away from the city centre which makes the position of the hostel perfect - at a walkable distance from the centre, and at a quiet neighbourhood.

Great views. Can even eat outside on the balcony overlooking the snowy peaks. Lots of opportunities to mingle and chat with other guests. Away from the hustle-bustle of the town, but still within walking distance. I only booked here because the Interlaken Youth Hostel was booked, but I'm so glad it was, as this was a much nicer place.

So zen, comforting and cozy with panoramic views of the mountains. I am a girl traveling alone and it was the perfect safe stopover for me after a 14 mile hike. Staff was so friendly and helpful. It felt like they really wanted you there and cared about your stay. Hostel was clean and very comfortable. Hostel is about a 10 minute walk outside of Grindelwalds main strip, which gives it the calming charm I was in desperate need of. Breakfast was delicious too, prepared me for another long hike the next day.

Amazing views from the hostel. Breakfast was very enjoyable. I felt safe and slept reasonably well. I was surprised how diverse the age groups were of the other holiday makers.

Breakfast was delicious and had a great selection (and vegan/vegetarian options too). The staff were incredible helpful, and gave us great suggestions for hikes to do. The room was comfy and the hostel was quiet. The location was great as the bus stop was just outside and we were right next to the train station, which was convenient. The lodge’s restaurant was also good for a quick cheap eat. Also seemed to have lots of communal areas, pool table, etc if you wanted things to do.
