Alpine Base Hostel - Adults only, hotel in Gimmelwald

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.

It was comfortable stay and it was nice to be able to sit in the dining area and meet other guests from around the world. We didn’t have dinner there but we brought in our own food, enjoyed a glass of wine and socialized with other guests. It was a welcoming feeling.

Walters Hostel Interlaken, hotel in Gimmelwald

Located in Interlaken, 12 miles from Grindelwald Terminal, Walters Hostel Interlaken provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Because of the last-minute change in our schedule, we were very lucky to book this hostel. The host was very friendly and helped us take our luggage to the room. Our room was very large with a balcony. The breakfast was 8 chf per person, which was very good. I will choose to stay in this hostel again if I have the chance.

    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.
