It was my first time staying in a youth hostel, and it was a wonderful experience. People from all over the world lived here, and the atmosphere was really great. It will be an unforgettable travel experience for me!

The bus stop is right outside the door, which is very convenient. However, the hostel is not obvious and a little hard to find. There is no elevator, so it is quite tiring to carry luggage upstairs. There is only one public toilet and bathroom on each floor, so you need to wait for a while. There is a shared kitchen, but the kitchenware is not enough. There are a lot of public spaces, which is good. 👍🏻

It takes about 10 minutes by bus from Interlaken East Station. The location is quite convenient. When you check in, you will be given an Interlaken card which allows you to take the bus for free. It is quite suitable for people who don’t buy a pass. The accommodation rules say that a hair dryer is provided, but there is only one hair dryer in the entire youth hostel. If you need it, it is recommended to bring your own.

The room was OK. The front desk service was good. They agreed to change the room quickly. The room was relatively small. I think it is the same in small towns. The same price in the city is larger. The transportation is very convenient. I stayed here in various small towns for four days. I recommend eating the oil-splashed noodles at Bao’s restaurant near the West Station. It is delicious.

The price/performance ratio is good in Interlaken, suitable for one person traveling alone, but it is better to stay in a hotel for two people. The kitchen is very well done, and you can save a lot of money by going to the coop to buy groceries and cook.

The kitchen is quite big, there are many Asians, but there are no chopsticks. It is conveniently located between two train stations and can be reached on foot.
