Old Worldly Charm with no Frills
Pros:

Hotel Steinbock is a beautiful old worldly Hotel steeped in history, that is pretty much where it stops, yes it is a 2 star hotel with good reason, plus side clean rooms was big enough for my wife, myself and our dog additional plus side breakfast was free and checkin and checkout was a breeze all codes and tech to open entrance door, to access room key on checkin, and simply drop key on top of reception desk there is no visible staff to speak of, plenty of hotel parking which is paid for,
Very Central to all the attractive places, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald,

Cons:

The rooms up in the roof are hot and there is no cooling fan for air circulation, open up the balcony door and window and bug heaven opens up mosquitos buzz around your head and because of the heat and bugs it is hard to sleep, 33 degree days and 15-20 degree nights it becomes uncomfortable pretty quick, the fridge is a share fridge in the hall way so we were reluctant to keep anything like fruits or chocolates in the fridge, Defintely not suitable for people in wheel chairs or anyone who has health issues with walking up and down stairs,could not stand up straight to have a shower because of the roof slope,

Ótimo custo benefício! Café da manhã maravilhoso!
Pros:

O local é um charme, ótimo quarto. Limpo e confortável. O café da manhã é delicioso.
O vilarejo realmente não tem infraestrutura, mas é muito fácil se locomover de ônibus e trem para interlaken.
Pudemos deixar nossas malas após o check out, o que foi muito bom.

Cons:

A falta de um funcionário Full Time durante o dia atrapalha um pouco o check in. Caso não fale inglês ou alguma língua local, pode ser um pouco difícil entender as instruções por telefone. Sugestão: considerar uso de fechaduras eletrônicas para um check in mais fácil.

Cons:

Rien. Nous recommandons cet endroit sans hésiter !

Very disappointed
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The extremely small room with very little lighting. Also it was extremely hot so we had to leave the doors open which resulted in many flies in the room & bug bites.

Pros:

La posizione abbastanza centrale per varie destinazioni

Cons:

Personale inesistente, arrivi in ricezione e devi telefonare a qualcuno che ti dà tutte le istruzioni, solo tedesco o inglese. Pagato 40 euro come supplemento per cagnolino e parcheggio.
