The room was lovely, very comfortable mattress as well. It’s a bit out of Wengen but it’s beautiful walk. The very well equipped and super clean kitchen was a plus. I loved my stay here.

Chalet Hostel @ Backpackers Villa Interlaken, hotel in Interlaken

Set in Interlaken, 19 km from Grindelwald Terminal, Chalet Hostel @ Backpackers Villa Interlaken offers accommodation with a garden, private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Excellent communication prior to arrival informing me of directions to get there and info about the Interlaken guest card they provide us with. Excellent facilities (big, well-equiped kitchen, plenty of lockers for storage, delicious breakfast, toilet in bedroom). Staff were all friendly and had good knowledge on things to do in the area. They seemed to have good systems in place for check in. Good location situated between the East and West train stations. Highly recommend!

    The location of this hostel is breathtaking. You are surrounded by mountains. The staff was super welcoming and friendly. Bf was included, and let me tell you, what a great breakfast! They offered pizzas for a cost at night, and they looked amazing! Drinks were also available. The shared dormitory was ok, and the whole house too. Toilet facilities shared but cleaned.

    This is one of the greatest locations on earth! The views are literally incredible. The hostel is positioned perfectly to enjoy the views, or to start a hike. It is also right next to the cable car station, so it's super convenient. Everyone was extremely helpful and made us feel welcome, and the breakfast was very good.

    The location and vibe can’t be beat! It is great fun with a lovely community feel and amazing community spaces. There is no better view in the world. The breakfast was basic but good and the pizzas at night were great! I had stayed in 1998 as a backpacker and loved it so much I returned 25 years later with my family:)

    After all, this is a hostel. It is run by friendly college students who need to be more professional. It took a long time to check in because there was only one computer. They would not check you in even five minutes before 2 PM! The entire process of checking in is chaotic. This is not a hotel but a hostel. Families with little children was staying there. I would rather stay in Murren and pay more for a more comfortable stay.

    A good budget option, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Just go prepared for what it is - a budget hostel with lots of young folks.
