Pros:

I liked the instant sense of community. Shared kitchen & bathrooms. Great stay.

Cons:

I'm a big mug person, and I didn't care for the little teacups...Just a personal bias!😊

Pros:

Ideal for a short stay in Lauterbrunnen on a budget. The only way to stay in this valley any cheaper would be either camping or sharing a dormitory in the youth hostel. Well equipped communal kitchen on each floor, and the shared toilet was fine.

Cons:

The room was small and quite hot (I was on the top floor), but did the job! Doors/walls aren't very sound proof.

Per una notte ok
Pros:

Presente cucina in comune dotata di stoviglie e pentole. Stanza grande.
Parcheggio privato sul retro per massimo 3 auto. Posizione ottima, anche la sera per fare una passeggiata vicino alla cascata

Cons:

Zone comuni trasandate, cucina sporca e rovinata, bagno vecchio con tavoletta water usurata. Posto poco curato, porte cingolati.

Very disappointing and misleading stay This place felt like a scam.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This place felt like a scam. A lady handed me the key and then suddenly disappeared, leaving me to figure everything out myself. The room is on the 3rd floor with no elevator, which is very inconvenient, especially with luggage.

The bathroom was also in terrible condition. There was no proper shower, and the bathroom was constantly wet and unpleasant to use. The overall place felt old, poorly maintained, and unhygienic.

Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and properly managed hotel.

Prima, zeker goede prijs kwaliteit
Pros:

Locatie, goede bedden

Cons:

1 douche en toilet (zelfde ruimte) voor 6 kamers is wat weinig, het was ook erg warm in de kamer en helaas niet goed te ventileren (ondanks dat de ramen open konden)

Affordable, but very basic and in serious need of renovation.
Pros:

It was one of the only rooms available in town at the time, and the price was reasonable.

Cons:

The room had a shared bathroom and everything felt extremely old and dated. The accommodation was far too basic and overall not very comfortable. Not clean.

Great view and location, just don’t count on great sleep.
Pros:

I liked having the private room to ourselves with a beautiful view of the valley. It really is a great location right next to the train station, bus stops, cable lift up to murren, etc…

Cons:

The shared amenities were just mediocre. The fact that the single shared bathroom is split between probably 8 people at a single moment is just annoying. When we saw “shared bathroom”, we thought it meant a conjoined bathroom between 2 rooms… wish that was detailed. Coming back at 11pm from excursions absolutely filthy from hiking and then getting back and having to wait for people to get out of the bathroom, then trying to take a shower and finding out that everyone’s already used up all the warm water. There was water all over the floor every time we went in. The “free” WiFi is complete bogus. You are constantly getting disconnected from the WiFi and MAYBE only one person per room can actually use the WiFi. It’s just annoying when you expect certain things to work seamlessly especially when you pay the price you pay to stay here only for things to be majorly downplayed. Also it’s right next to a pretty main road where cars and trucks are quite literally constantly driving by at nearly all hours of the night. So if you want to keep your windows open to cool down a bit, that’s the sacrifice you make. Also you can’t walk around in this place without waking the entire suite up. One step causes earthquake level creeks and the “suite mates” clearly don’t care. All I’m saying is, just hope you get mature, self-conscious, CLEAN suite mates and maybe your stay will not be so bad.

Okay für eine Nacht
Pros:

Die Unterkunft hat ein gutes Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis.

Cons:

Die Zimmer könnten renoviert werden. Insbesondere der Teppichboden im Zimmer ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Die Zimmer sind ausserdem sehr hellhörig.
