Pros:

in pratica nulla, stanza piccola e brutta, colazione scadente, personale VERAMENTE antipatico

Cons:

per il prezzo pagato lo standard è quello che ho trovato spesso in Nepal; in Nepal il personale generalmente è molto simpatico qui un vero disastro

Very poor value for money. Do not stay here!
Pros:

Fantastic views from the room. Very good location (close to Interlaken West train station)

Cons:

Room in an utter state of disrepair. No kettle in the room. Housekeeping staff literally use stolen shopping trolleys for carrying bed linen etc.! To get hot water for a cup of tea one has to use a ladle to scoop water out of an urn. Breakfast staff is overworked and rude. Breakfast is pretty average (cold boiled eggs etc.). I paid $1,900 for 4 nights stay from 21 to 25 October. For that tariff, I expect a much better hotel!

Hospedagem em Interlaken Oast longe do centro e custo alto para o que oferece.
Pros:

Gostei da proximidade da estação de trem e do tamanho do quarto, bem amplo e com vista para o rio e montanhas.

Cons:

Instalações antigas e com ar decadente e café da manhã com pouca variedade e qualidade. Custo-benefício não compensa a estadia fora da região mais turística.
