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.

The place is ok, Just too expensive for Hostel style and if you need towel you need to pay SF3.50 Never heard of paying expensive room and you need to rent the towel that they should provide, Bring your own shampoo and your own coffee as well, There’s much nicer places around the area, The wi-fi is very slow so i have to find another place

I love Balmers Hostel so much I don’t want to leave! They have scheduled things to do in order to socialize with other travelers which is so fun. The rooms are great, the whole thing is like a cozy Swiss chalet, a lot of things to do inside, and nearby the main train station going to different cities. We met the owner casually, Mr. Balmers while talking at the table then gave us a bottle of Prosecco.

Crazy enough this is actually my second year stopping at Balmer's. I really enjoy the atmosphere they have here. You are able to meet people from all over the world and make new connections. It feels like everyone there, guests and staff, are like a little family.
