Interlaken is a popular transit hub in Switzerland, and this hostel is right next to Interlaken Ost station, making the transportation super convenient. It's also massive, the largest hostel I've ever stayed in.
I stayed in a 4-bed female dorm. The room space was decent, but there were no privacy curtains, which meant privacy was just okay. You have to make your own bed, and when checking out, you also need to strip the sheets and take them to the front desk. There weren't enough power outlets, and the one at my bunk was broken. The room has a sink, but no private bathroom; you have to go to the shared facilities on each floor for the toilet and shower. You need to pay a deposit for a hairdryer.
The ground floor of the hostel is a restaurant. There's no kitchen or utensils (they only provide disposable cutlery for a fee), just a pantry (on the 2nd floor) with tables, chairs, a kettle, and a microwave. The hostel offers breakfast, which is a real luxury in high-priced Switzerland! There's a large Coop supermarket opposite the hostel (and the station).
The staff weren't overly enthusiastic, and while it attracts travelers from all over the world, the overall atmosphere was just average. However, its excellent location makes it a worthwhile place to stay.
Super friendly staff, very good location, easily accessible by public transport.
The room wasn't completely clean, sorry.
But I'd be happy to come back.
Located quite far uphill and far from train station, you will rely on bus 122 to reach / leave the hostel, which only operates until around 6pm. The view from the hostel is not bad, with quite a large outdoor area. The building itself is an old wooden structure and it is very easy to hear the noise from other rooms. Only two toilets / shower rooms per gender per floor but so far it is ok. Just be reminded that there is no individual electric socket for each bed and the lamp above the bed does not seem to work.
One of the best stays I've experienced in my 12 years of travel history.Jugendherberge Schloss Burgdorf Hostel offers a unique experience, being an old castle turned into a beautiful hostel. The location is simply awesome.
However, I made a silly mistake by not calling ahead to confirm my check-in time and ended up spending a night outside in the chilly weather because the reception was closed. Thankfully, a staff member arrived the next morning at 7:00 AM and I was able to check in.
The breakfast provided is good, and the cleanliness and service are both commendable. The climb from the train station takes about 20 minutes, but it's well worth it for the incredible setting.
Overall, despite my mishap, this is one of the best hostels in Switzerland and I highly recommend it.
The location is beautiful, but the rooms are small, there's noise from everywhere, and the beds aren't good. It's not worth the price compared to other hotels.

First of all, they provide breakfast so I saved a lot of money and I could cook so I saved a lot of money. The only regret is that there is no refrigerator in the room, but even if there was one in the shared kitchen, no one touched it so it was okay.
The rooms and facilities were immaculate and the buffet breakfast has all you could possibly want and all super fresh. The staff were super helpful and made arrangements to move a fellow roomie who wasn’t in a good mental or physical space with no hesitation. Would definitely come back here again.
Also, I realised after my stay that I was due a 15% discount because I had an EURail pass so make sure you use that if you have one and are booking
When we found this hostel through navigation, my friends didn't believe it. They said it looked more and more like a hotel. We spent a very pleasant day here.
Absolutely loved this place!
It’s an old building, but everything is very clean and well-maintained.
The atmosphere is super cozy, It’s located slightly away from the typical tourist areas, which makes it peaceful and quiet, but still close enough to get anywhere easily. The town itself is calm and very pleasant to stay in, perfect for spending a whole day just relaxing in the courtyard without going anywhere.
It’s also very accessible from Interlaken or Spiez — just a short 15-minute bus ride.
Even though the bus only comes once an hour, it’s easy to manage if you check the schedule.
Highly recommend this peaceful and charming stay!
The environment is quiet, clean, the breakfast is rich and delicious, the front desk service attitude is very good and considerate, although the bathing space is public, the privacy and hygiene are very good! We live in the rooftop attic, and you can hear the gurgling rain at night. The atmosphere is simply amazing!
Very Good

WW_LIt's located in a lovely village outside Interlaken. The staff are lovely and friendly and their restaurant serves lovely food. We would have really enjoyed the experience but the sound proof was very poor. The walls are too thin, so every time when the room next door tried to use their sink or plug chargers into the sockets, the noise was so loud that it woke us up. The beds are too short in length and you have to be shorter than 6 feet to sleep in them (I wish they have told us these in their room specifications on the website). Overall I wouldn't recommend...
MMy Beautiful GaiaIt is a hostel so you should expect what you paid for … over all the front staff Julian and Isabelle were the nicest, the lodge is just a doorsteps to the Grindelwald Terminal … there is a transport village bus card which the front desk will give you so that you can use this to go around the Main Village and just right around Grindelwald ..
— the bad side, in mixed dorm the room is very tiny for 6beds it’s not really very comfortable specially when someone walking around with his boxer shorts 😞 … the facilities are pristine but they don’t provide towels in room you have to ask this in front desk - it’s the cheapest place in town but it’s the loveliest the bar grill is so relaxing while sipping with your ginger ale … the breakfast can’t complain it’s all delish with all those bowls of yogurt and freshly brewed coffee yum

GGuest UserLovely place to stay, not too far from INTERLAKEN OST but bus timings can be long ~ but still walkable to interlaken ost. During my stay couldn’t find any places to eat or buy groceries nearby but loved the breakfast with such an amazing view. Service is top notch. Will be back if I have the chance again. The price is really affordable given how expensive Switzerland is. Room was made everyday and it was really clean.
I also love how there is free coffee / snacks available for guests at anytime. Thank you for the great service! Lovely and recommended place to stay.
