Other than rooming with some people that don´t know how to try and be quiet in the wee hours of the morning, the hostel was really a good place to stay. The staff seemed generally joyful and helpful. The dorms were fine as well.

The breakfast is too much expensive, what's more, they only supply bread and beverage.

Excellent hostel!! Good bathroom (almost everytime clean), dorm, staff, breakfast (but not included). Really just 5 min walking from the West Station. I would stay again.

It smelled like fried food and it was loud, pretty much all day. Cheap but unpleasant, rooms are cramped, no common area. Showers are small but ther are larger ones down the hall. Would not stay here again.

Staff wasnt very helpful in sorting out issues in bed allotment in the dorm. Expected us to wake up ppl in the middle of the night to find who is entitled to stay in the room and who is not!!!

Good hostel, great location, Interlaken is a great place to visit for a couple of days! Rooms are fairly small, but sufficient and clean. Bar in bottom floor or hostel, really fun! Make sure to get off at the West train station if you choose to stay here. :)

I book in a room of 6 persons but I was located in a room of 8 persons. It is definitely not a good service for their customer. There were less power socket in the room. I find only 4 unit. How many persons in the should be consider in this case. Bathroom is too small, difficult to take shower.

Was only there 1 night, it is in a great location. Staff are sometimes more concerned about taking food/drink orders in the bistro so they can be hard to get a hold of, especially since you need to get a key off them everytime you come back to the hostel.

The hostel is nice and has a fun atmosphere due to the bistro downstairs. Our overall experience was positive and friendly, however, if you want breakfast don't ask for it after 930 or you will get a rude answer and if you reserve a room with 6 beds you may end up in a room with more.

All people booking a double bedroom or a twin-bed room beware, you might be put into a small prison cell type of room (Room 9) with a bunk bed a space for just one person to walk around the bunk bed.

The showers are not good with the water slowing down to a trickle if there are more people taking a bath at the same time. The automatic lights in the bathroom switches off once in a while and you have to poke your head out of your shower cubicle so that it switches on again. But the hostel is close to the Interlaken West train station and there is no noise in the rooms because of the pub below.close

I am not so used to sleeping above a bar, but it's still quiet in the bedroom. If you like funk style, this is a good place to go. Close to East Train Station, but 15-20 minutes walking needed to get to the West Train Station, from which you go up the moutain. Staff are very friendly. Special...

Nothing special, just a hostel at the back of a pub. Fine place to stay, but there´s no common room so you´ll really only meet people in your room. Showers aren´t very good.

The Happy in Lodge made my holiday unhappy! The private room (which I found had bunk beds!) was smaller than a prison cell. When I asked the manager to change room, he rudely refused. Instead, he tried to push me to upgrade to a 3-bed room by paying extra. They took the amount before check in... more The Happy in Lodge made my holiday unhappy!

Very close to train station, and a great base for doing all of the mountains and surrounding area. Lovely brasserie at the inn, which for switzerland is quite reasonable priced. Only downsides were no guest kitchen, poor internet facilities and if you arrive on sunday it'll be closed until four.

No kitchen or common room whatsoever, which makes it a bit hard when the restaurants in Interlaken are very expensive. No clean covers on the doonas. Fine aside from that, if you just want a bed.
