Great location, staff and breakfast, a bit overpriced for quality though
Pros:

Great location, lovely friendly staff and a very pleasant breakfast

Cons:

No air conditioning, just an electric fan, which in 30+ degree heat made it pretty unbearable. Paid extra for Mountain View but had to keep the shutters closed a lot of the time. Bathroom pretty tiny, a bit like being on an aircraft. Very basic room, a bit more like a hostel than a hotel

Was a super friendly place with a warm welcome
Pros:

Breakfast quite limited, the menu for others paying was extensive however its scrambled eggs, quinoa etc which is not to everyone’s taste

Cons:

The room was very small with a narrow stair for getting cases up to rooms as no lift. Rooms very hot with a very small fan to try and cool it down. Cables on bedside cabinet were frayed and bare, if bedside light switched on it switched off the other things plugged in so found this quite dangerous

Quite simply - This place is amazing
Pros:

We were fortunate enough to stay at this beautiful quaint hotel nestled on the banks of the Aare River for two nights in June. From the moment we arrived the staff and management (Kat & Tim) were simply fantastic, and showed us to our family room on Level 2. The family apartment actually consisted on two rooms within the same apartment which meant the kids could sleep separately from us. The rooms were absolutely spotless and warm with plenty of light and we were able to open windows to allow fresh air inside. Bedding and pillows were very comfortable. The locality is also stunning in a very nice part of town, and handy to a number of restaurants. Within this hotel there is also a top notch cafe which does guest breakfast or full a-la-carte if preferred. The hotel has a nice range of beers and wine, and a quality lunch as well. Nice to see some fellow Australians working here as well. We had been travelling for 4 weeks to this point, and this place ranked as one of our favorites. If I ever get back to Interlaken this would be my first place to visit again.

Pessima
Pros:

Quase nada

Cons:

O hotel que deveria ser classificado como um hostel, se localiza num prédio/casa estilo germânico, muito antigo, e sem estrutura nenhuma. Apertado, teto baixo, café da manhã muito fraco. Não tem ar condicionado, tivemos que dormir num calor insuportável com as janelas abertas e ventilador com um barulho na rua que foi a madrugada toda. Pra piorar é colado com um igreja e os badalos do sino de meia em meia hora dentro do quarto. Pagamos por três noite mas só dormimos uma. Mudamos para outro hotel o Krebs a 300mts. Pagamos a mesma coisa e tivemos uma experiência muito superior !!!

Boutique hotel, decent for a short stay.
Pros:

The location was centrally located in the city, however, both Interlaken OST & West Station were at a walking distance of15mins+. With small kids, it took us longer.

The room was clean, spacious to accommodate a group of 3 adults and 2 kids.

Cons:

The view from the 2nd room with 3 individual beds was very disappointing and did not match with what we saw online. We had a view of some construction site which was not pleasing. Also, considering that we paid a premium price for the room, the team should have been transparent with us.

Lovely
Pros:

It’s a super nice place! The staff was very kind and let me check in way earlier because the room was ready. They even remembered the coffee I like to drink!
The view is lovely! All the restaurants are very close but the place itself is not crowded.
The room was cleaned every day. Breakfast is nice, I especially liked the bread with seeds. Location is great! It was slightly noisy at night but if you close the window, you can’t hear anything. The room doesn’t have an airco but there is a ventilator.
All in all great, I loved it.

Pros:

Estar al lado del río es muy recomendable, las camas no son tan cómodas y si vas en un grupo grande yo me quede donde tenía 1 solo baño que puede ser incómodo, pero dentro de todo bien.

Pros:

Waterfront view, close by to Interlaken west train station.
The owner Tim was very helpful in guiding us about places to visit nearby and making great coffee.
The common room downstairs was good and one could make tea/coffee there whenever we wanted.

Cons:

The bathroom sink was very small and a bit inconvenient to use.

Wonderbaarlijk leuk cafeetje met hotel aan de rivier
Pros:

Geweldig leuk cafe, warm ingericht, met terras dat op de rivier kijkt. Heel aardige mensen, altijd opgewekt en vriendelijk, die zelfs een pakketje voor me aannamen, en "Welcome home!" zeiden toen ik weer binnenkwam. :-) Heerlijke cakes en Berg thee, ohhhhh! Leuke buurt en vlakbij centrum. Fijne kamer, netjes en schoon. Parkeren niet ver. Ook helpen ze mensen met hun koffers. Goeie herinneringen hier!

Cons:

De single bed rolde zijwaarts wat omlaag, matras kan omgekeerd worden. Voor de slecht-ter-been: trappen naar de kamer, en naar de gasten zitruimte.
