The hotel offers a stunning view of the Jungfrau, Monsch, and Eiger from the rooms, even though they are a bit tired. The service, especially during breakfast, was incredibly helpful, particularly with managing children. The location is excellent for exploring the Bernese Oberland but is a bit far from the center of Interlaken. The dining experience provides a diverse spread every morning but can be busy on Sundays. Overall, the hotel is a great base to discover the Junfrau Region.

Rooms

The rooms, located at the end of a long, dark corridor, offer a great view of the Jungfrau, Monsch, and Eiger. They come with a small balcony with a table and chairs, but are a bit ordinary and tired compared to other accommodations in Switzerland.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was great for a ski-weekend trip, being just minutes away from the train station, the noise from the busy crossroads and unused conference room turned corridor created some discomfort. The service, especially from Selim and Dominika at reception, was top-notch with helpful information provided. The dining experience offered a variety of alpine amenities but got monotonous after a while. The facilities were decent, but the noise from the corridor and crossroads affected the overall ambiance.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was above the street and quite noisy, especially in the mornings due to the traffic. The setup with the unused conference room doubling as a corridor also caused some disturbances.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The room I initially got was on a busy crossroads, but luckily, I was relocated to a larger room with a lovely balcony offering stunning mountain views. The service was friendly overall, but some staff members, like the owner, seemed unfriendly. The location was excellent, close to the train station and offering free transport passes for exploring the area. Dining options were good, although impacted by large groups at times.
