"The hotel located in the strategic location and just few mins away from the train station. Nearby you can get many variety of Asian foods. Breakfast is another added point"
"Location wise, nothing much to critique as it’s situated right beside the train station. You can’t get anything more convenient than this.
We like the modern design of the room, generally. The only negative point we experienced was the smell. There was a smell (smells like pee) inside the room but surprisingly not the toilet. Toilet actually smells better than the room. Ventilation was poorly managed, I guess. And the staff said there’s nothing they could do about it and to my biggest surprise, the hotel does not have an air freshener at all!
Contrary to those reviews saying how good the breakfast is, I find it quite disappointing. Food selection is so limited and the quality wasn’t better or even on par with the typical hotel breakfast standard.
Here I would like to commend on a particular staff named Iulia (not sure if I spell it correctly). She is nice, friendly and accommodating. I would like to thank her for her hospitality.
Overall, I would probably come back to stay again at Essential for its perfect location."
"The overall experience is average, basically self-help."

"Hotel Central Continental, one of the first hotels of interlaken West situated adjacent to the train and bus station. I seriously felt you get the best views from the room balconies especially the corner rooms. I will give 10/10 for the scenic views from the balcony. Usually I am not a sound sleeper, but here I had a peaceful sleep and woke up with full energy hearing the birds chirping music. The amenities can be improved. Breakfast provided is good, they allow to fry the eggs which is unique.😄"
"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Merkur, and I couldn’t be more impressed with my experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and ensured my check-in process was quick and seamless. The hotel lobby was inviting and beautifully decorated, setting the tone for the rest of my stay.
My room was absolutely fantastic – spacious, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities I needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a long day of sightseeing. The bathroom was spotless, and I loved the toiletries provided.
The hotel’s location was perfect, situated close to the interlaken west station and local shops, making it easy to explore the area. I also enjoyed the morning breakfast in the restaurant, and the food exceeded my expectations – delicious, fresh, and served with excellent service.
Overall, I had a truly memorable stay at hotel Merkur, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and high-quality hotel experience.
I’ll definitely be back on my next trip!"
"The hotel is located between Interlaken West Station and Interlaken East Station. Bus 103 is just outside the hotel and you can reach Interlaken Ost. The hotel is well equipped. Kitchenware, tableware, dishwasher, and microwave are all available, but you need to take out the garbage before leaving to ensure the basic hygiene of the hotel. The breakfast is also good, especially the boiled eggs, which are cooked just right and very tender. In short, this is a highly recommended hotel for family travel"
"The hotel is in a very good location. There are various shops outside. There are buses 103 and 21 at the intersection. You can take the bus for free with the transportation card issued by the hotel, and you can also get a souvenir silver spoon. The owner is Chinese. There is Fu Ji Restaurant downstairs. Guests can enjoy a 10% discount. The room is big enough. The bedding doesn't feel very new, but we always bring disposable bedding when we go out, so it's okay. It feels like a homestay, and the view from the small balcony is also good. It feels similar to the four-star hotel opposite us."
"Hotel is near Interlaken West train starting, which allows us to travel to various attractions easily.
Can see many paraglider from our balcony!
Cleanness is fine, staff were friendly.
The provision of fridge and microwave at the lounge to allow guest to keep their food and heat it helped a lot as our visit fell on Sunday and most of the shops were closed at the area.
Amenities is okay and the wifi connection is great. (note: no bottled water given, states that tap water is drinkable)"
"We stayed at this hotel for 6 night in late May 2024. Our room is big enough for 3 and the view facing the river is very good. It even has a balcony. The hotel is about 10-15 min walk from Interlaken West station. It is close to the main street but not noisy at all."

IIdris and HanaI love everything about this hostel.
Location is just beside the Interlaken Ost station. Easy to find. From station, just go to the right. It is just next building.
Harder Kulm is just walking distance from hotel.
There is big coop and few shops nearby. Restaurant is just nearby. Easy to find food even Indian cuisine also here. Souvenir shop near the bridge is cheaper than any other area. Keychain 5 for chf25.
My room have an amazing view. Wake up in the morning with the mountain view is just fascinating.
I booked mixed dorm of 4 because cheap price. But along the stay of 3 days, we are lucky enough to have only 2 of us in the dorm. Appreciate it much.
There is Lounge with kettle, microwave, tv and eating area inside.
They are lots of shower room, and separated washroom, just near to the room.
I love the breakfast. Even the cornflakes is tasty. We can make hot chocolate from machine.
They have a common area with pool table, sofa, kids area.
The staff is very nice, make a good start there.
I just in love with everything from this hostel.

GGuest UserFriendly front desk staff and the hotel location is gorgeous.
The frontdesk helped me with an early checkin and also upgraded my room with a bath-tub. The view from the room balcony was Mesmerizing and nothing short of a heavenly view…
The breakfast was descent, however a little short of vegetarian options.
The chocolates at the reception desk were amazing, better than Lindt. I wish I could know where they sourced them from😁
Harder Kulm (Top of Interlaken) entrance is just in front of the hotel.
The market is at walking distance and also the OST station is very closeby.
Thanks Carlton Team for making our stay pleasant and memorable…
Ciao!

GGuest UserI really like the feeling of a small luxury hotel. The room is small but very stylish. There is also a small balcony outside the room, facing the road. You can hear the sound of horse hooves passing by the carriage at night. It feels so good to drink a cup of coffee on the balcony early in the morning.

SSimon Ho 1968The guestroom was good, very clean & hotel amenities ”Pure Herbs” was very good. Front office staff & Housekeeping was kind to provide a few more additional bottles for our 3 nights stay. Our room was facing the road but we had very quiet & peaceful rest. The view from the window was breathtaking. The staff at the restaurant provide excellent service and took care of us very well during our stay. We will definitely come back to stay again when in Interlaken.
The location of the hotel can be access by bus 103 from both Interlaken west & Interlaken ost train stations or a 15 mins walk from Interlaken Ost train station. Very convenient. Easy to locate.
However, it will not be the place for the budget conscious. You are in Switzerland anyway, pamper yourself to the high ”quality of life”

They have a room storage for luggages.
The breakfast is amazing with a lot of choices.
This hotel is very well recommended:)
Nnurinqistinanqwe went during the peak summer period and the hotel was at full occupancy. despite that, the team was always ready to render assistance and answer any questions. rooms were smaller than we'd like but the cleanliness made up for it.

GGuest UserThe bathroom was very simple without any shampoo or shower gel provided which was different from the description on booking. There was no one at the reception and you have to do the check-in and check-our by yourself. Can't expect too much as it is a hostel.
