I came to Switzerland again because I came to work in Lautenbronn last time and then went to the Jungfrau. So I wanted to have a different experience this time. When I saw the Interlaken Hotel, I found this lake lodge hostel, a youth hostel in Isertwald. After viewing the map, I found that it was on the edge of Lake Brienz. The hotel was also on the lakeside, and set up a trip with friends. Two families, four big and two small. Istrewald is located on the east side of Interlaken, directly from Interlaken ost train station by bus 103. Each hour of 05 minutes is the bus departure time, every hour, about 20 minutes. Isertwald is a small village, but the scenery is beautiful, with few tourists and very quiet. Upon arrival, I went directly to the hotel. The hotel owner is a young couple, very friendly, the hotel has a great view and the balcony is facing the lake. But the hotel is a wooden structure, and everything should be soft and afraid of affecting others. The hotel has a kitchen, kitchen utensils and cutlery that can be used at will. I didn't see the supermarket here, so I can take it from the big supermarket in Interlaken ost station. The hotel has a free bus card to pick up and drop off to Interlaken. This time I took the drone and took a lot of beautiful lake views and the video of Isertwald. There are a lot of wild swans in Lake Brienz. The swan is not afraid of people. In short, this is a very beautiful and quiet village.

The good: The scenery and setting! The views are unbeatable. They are even more beautiful than in the photos; they're jaw-droppingly breathtaking. And the grounds surrounding the hotel are equally lovely. The waterfall is gorgeous, and the funicular is a fun way to go down to the lake where the boat will await you. The bad: The rooms and the flies. The room was dated without modern facilities. I think we may have only had 2 or 3 outlets in the entire suite, no air conditioning, and the shower was 3' x 3' at most. Probably less. One has to be flexible to fully bathe in the cramped space. And forget about shaving your legs unless you're a gymnast. Then there were the flies. We had dinner at the restaurant, where we were put in the back corner though there were many free tables in better locations that were never sat. We were next to a mirror that seemed to be a meeting place for the country's flies. At any given time, we were besieged by anywhere between 8 and 20 flies. The meal itself was expensive and mediocre, but when you add swarms of flies to the mix, it ended up being revolting. Breakfast was the same. It was a fly-riddled buffet with most items left out in the open for them to feast on. The ugly: The service was abominable. There were exceptions, like one server at the bar and a helpful valet, but most were at best indifferent and at worst downright rude and condescending--particularly the front desk staff. One of many examples: we tried connecting to wi-fi but we never got the code. When we asked the front desk for help, he simply said we should have an email with the code if it wasn't working. Without wi-fi, we can't access email. After explaining this, he VERY begrudgingly gave it to us as if we were asking for something totally unreasonable and he was really being put out by it. Interestingly, they were also somewhat incompetent. You'd think with their attitude of superiority that they'd at least be on top of their game, but no. It took me four tries and two days to get laundry service for one clothing item, and even then, it only happened after we walked it down and gave it to them ourselves having given up on their actually coming to get it as promised. Likewise, when I asked at the bar what was in the hotel's special version of the Moscow Mule (I forget the name), the bartender said ”orange and I'm not sure what else. ” He then told me a gentlemen at a table near us ordered one so why didn't we go ask him. Um, really? Not to mention, they were completely unhelpful and gave us zero check-in information on room, hotel, or anything at all throughout our stay. The bottom line: I do not recommend staying here. I would absolutely visit for the views (maybe for a drink, lunch, or a hike), but the stay is not worth the rude treatment, dingy rooms, and contingent of flies.

Great hotel in excellent location On the lake.close to many restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance.can walk to train station and boat cruise harbour.good room and very helpful staff and adequate breakfast.highly recommend this property and definitely stay again

The overall experience is average, basically self-help.

We stayed 3 nights . The hostel location is a best . It near to Interlaken OST . Nearby with Coop supermarket . Staying here u will feel young and vibrant as hostel full of people . We do enjoy our stay, especially we can enjoy food in the same pantry @ level 1. Sometimes we do share our food . Example I bought extra eggs from coop, I can offer to someone / couple . It’s really good culture of sharing food and not waste it . The stay include hotel breakfast . Location - best . I prefer staying in interlaken OST instead of west Breakfast- good . With bread, yogurt , hams, eggs . Personally I loved the chocolate drink Room- we are lucky to have a double room with own bathroom . Our room is corner room, it bigger space for me to put 2 luggage Noise - yes. As it’s near the train station. To us, it’s ok even the windows is open during night time . As there’s no aircon or fan in the room Bathroom- standard . U need to prepare your own toiletries. Except the 2 in 1 bath shower/ hair Towel - yes u can change your towel with hostel counter staff Hair dryer - upon request . Do put deposit Ensure you made your own bed. Tidy the place .

We spent 2 nights in this beautiful youth hostel. The framework is beautiful, with the blue-green Brienz lake and mountains. All is clean and welcome, breakfast is exquisite as well as the meal that is very good. We could only have passed from meat in the evening that was not top. We have a small garden with tables and transactions that gives on the lake. Just next to,a mini beach where to bathe. This very successful stay, I strongly recommend!

Restaurant on the first floor, accommodation on the second floor and above. The accommodation is hygienic and comfortable, and outside is the fairy tale world under the snow-capped mountains of Switzerland. The restaurant has a history of 100 years. The local mushroom soup in the Alps is so delicious. When I was a child, the mushrooms picked in the back mountain made the natural aroma. I also ate the wild (**) deer recommended by the neighboring table. The taste was a bit sour. I like it, but the portion is huge. The next day, after breakfast, I walked around the hotel at will. The scenery is picturesque. I personally feel that it doesn’t matter if I stay here for one night or not to go to Jungfrau. The only downside is 8 kilometers Panshan Road from Interlaken, but it is no problem for us to drive by car. The hotel has free parking spaces and the service staff are very friendly.

Interlaken Ost Station and walk about 5 minutes~ Great location! The breakfast area is so cozy~ The outdoor terrace is also good! It was an old hotel, but there was no inconvenience in staying. There was no air conditioner in the hot summer, but I was able to get along well because there was a fan in the room.

Usually when you think of the term ”tourist trap” you think of a restaurant or an excursion of some sort. In this case, it's a hotel. This hotel is well-situated in the heart of Interlaken (the city of which is in itself a tourist trap but that's a different review). It also has a nice name and a regal exterior. It unsurprisingly seems to attract a lot of guests (myself included) as a result. I certainly regret staying here. I spent three nights here with my wife amidst a warm week in the area. Some of the highlights: - unbelievably old rooms with old, smelly carpets and dirty, peeling wallpaper - no air conditioning, simply a cheap plastic fan stocked in the closet of every room - very shoddy cleaning service in which clothes are left lying on the floor, coffee pods are not replenished...really not much is done aside from making the bed - very condescending front desk staff, namely one gentleman in particular who was unfortunately not wearing a name tag - kind and hard working breakfast staff at the restaurant which is unfortunately quite understaffed It was strange that in just three days at the hotel we noticed a very large number of visibly dissatisfied guests. All in all I recommend not staying here.
