In die Jahre gekommen
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Bahnhof war sehr praktisch. Es gab eine recht große Auswahl zum Frühstück.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen und verschlissen. Die Matratze war schon sehr durchgelegen.

A lovely old hotel they are refurbishing with fake leather couches
Pros:

The windows

Cons:

They might walk about and open a few of the gorgeous windows when the sun is out and the hallways and rooms are hot .

It was reasonable in price, extraordinary in views, and ordinary in only very minor and fixable ways
Pros:

The location right next to interlaken west was very convenient. Lot of buses go through as well so that helped. The breakfast was nice. Rooms were spectacular. Especially the balcony views and the bathroom.

Cons:

Small things. There was no trash can in the room and the fans provided were rickety and noisy. Which didn't matter as much as the nights were pleasant but I suppose that'll be a big problem in the summer.

Everything we needed in one great hotel
Pros:

Fantastic location - so local to the train stations. Really good selection for breakfast. Super cute hotel rooms, like exactly what you’d think of an old fashioned Swiss hotel. It’s v Wes Anderson style. We even had our own balcony! A Boutique hotel x

Cons:

We only booked one night but wish we stayed longer given the convenient location

Le personnel étaient sympatique et nous a bien informé, le faite d'avoir les transports gratuit et un grand plus, la vue sur l'Aar et les balcons super.
Le pain du petit dejeuné était très bon 👌

Cons:

Pour le petit dejeuné, la mise en place ainsi que les indications des produits sont à revoir.
