Alpine Base Hostel - Adults only, hotel in Lauterbrunnen

Located in Lauterbrunnen, 10 miles from Grindelwald Terminal, Alpine Base Hostel - Adults only provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Room was clean and noise level acceptable. Room was generally quiet except after 5am when other guests started using the common toilets which is near my room. During the last 2 days of stay the room above did generate a fair bit of noise, but luckily it was not prolonged and did not affect my sleep.

    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.
