Hostel z potencjałem
Pros:

Piękna okolica. Samo serce Lauterbrunnen. Piękny widok z okna! Na parterze mocne wifi. Pachnące i dobre jakościowo ręczniki oraz pościel. Dobre ciśnienie wody w łazience. Personel uśmiechnięty i bardzo pomocny. Szczególne pozdrowienia dla Pani Marioli. Cudowna kobieta która umiliła nam pobyt sprawną zamianą pokoju przez co mogliśmy skupić się na własnych planach. Dziękujemy!

Cons:

Czajnik na pierwszym piętrze cały w kamieniu (troszke doczyściliśmy, ale przydałoby sie to robić raz w tygodniu). Patelnie mocno zajechane (teflon zdarty z patelni - warto przemyśleć zakup stalowych). W pokoju nr 5 (pierwsze piętro) wifi praktycznie nie działa. Mało wygodne materace. W pościeli znaleźliśmy długie czarne włosy i paznokieć. Co jest troche obrzydliwe. Bo nie obcinaliśmy paznokci, a włosny mamy jasne. W wannie na pietrze stoi woda. Deska sedesowa straszy! A zasłona prysznicowa jest za długa i źle zawieszona (instrukcja obsługi kotary jest zbędna. Każdy wie jak z niej korzystać. Tyle, że plącze się pod nogami i przykleja do ciała podczas "kąpieli". Skrócić i przewiesić mocowanie zasłony troszke dalej od wanny. A nikt nie bedzie zalewał podłogi).

Pros:

Great location, room 5 was really lovely

Cons:

Thin walls so bit noisy (obviously that’s just the building), frustrating that the cafe didn’t have opening hours on the door or answer the after hours phone calls:messages

Ótima localização, custo benefício e acesso aos principais pontos da região.
Pros:

Localização excelente, bem no centro da cidade (que não é muito grande) e próximo a estação. Perfeita para conhecer a cachoeira que quase cai dentro da cidade. No andar superior a vista da cozinha dava justamente para a cachoeira caindo e as montanhas com neves. Os quartos eram incríveis, confortáveis e organizados. O banheiro é dividido, cada andar possui o seu. A cozinha comum eram bem equipada e possuía todos os utensílios necessários. O custo benefício (se comparado com outras hospedagens locais e por se tratar da Suíça) foi ótimo.

Cons:

Check-in só após as 17h, até pode deixar suas malas com eles, mas elas ficam muito expostas e sem aparente supervisão. Pode ser um lugar seguro, mas sou brasileira e desconfiada kkkkk.

Pros:

Las vistas desde la ventana estupendas.

Cons:

Había 5 personas (3 niños) en la habitacion de al lado. Hacian mucho ruido. No paraban. Ocuparon el baño de la planta durante 2h. E hicieron un desastre en el baño. Eso no es culpa del alojamiento. Pero la verdad es que se escuchaba todo. No era muy facil dormir con tanto ruido.

Bare bones and no AC. Wooden Room felt like a sauna
Pros:

Great location and cheapish I guess.

Cons:

Miserably hot in the room. They need AC. It’s 2026 what are we doing. Shared bathrooms aren’t my favorite but was mostly fine.

Pros:

Central and a good price.

Cons:

Sharing a bathroom with another 10 guests, and the usual some travellers are considerate, others shout loudly at their phones late at night .
The perils of cheaper accommodation 🤔🙂

Recommended accommodations considering the cost
Pros:

This hotel is conveniently located near Lauterbrunnen train station and Stauschbuffa waterfall. It also has a shared kitchen with a refrigerator available for use, which is very convenient.

Cons:

The bathroom and toilet are shared, so they get very crowded. Also, the room gets quite hot during the day, even with the windows open.

Pros:

La comodidad del colchón de la cama.

Cons:

Sinceramente, de los peores hoteles que he visto en mi vida, pagué un dineral para lo que era. La ducha era compartida, y no había ni champú ni gel, era muy pésima tanto la ducha como el baño en sí. La habitación era feísima, además de no tener prácticamente enchufes, sinceramente, llego a saberlo, y dormía mejor en el pasto.

This accommodation exceeded my expectations!
Pros:

Absolutely fantastic!

The accommodation has shared bathrooms and kitchens so you will be putting-up with other people and their mess. But this also makes for a lovely social experience.

The rooms are basic but they have everything you need: a bed, towels, lights and space to hang your clothes. Everything was clean except for a bit of muck on the shower curtain. The accommodation sits above a wholesome cafe that sells food and alcohol and some cute souvenirs.

The location is really good! The accommodation is based in the centre Lauterbrunnen. It's a short walk away from a train station, a pub, and plenty of shops. This is a great place to stay for anyone wanting to make day trips to nearby locations such as Murren, Gimmelwald and Grindelwald.

I highly recommend this accommodation!

Cons:

The shower curtains could do with a wash. It'd be nice if the rubbish bins were bigger. It'd also be nice if there were recycling bins.

This isn't necessarily anything to do with the accommodation but be warned - There can be a lot of flies buzzing around town in the summer time. You might get a couple insect bites if you sleep with the windows open.
