My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon, due to Switzerland being so expensive. We stayed in a double room with private ensuite and were pleasantly surprised with new, clean amenities and friendly staff. There is wifi, fully functional kitchens, laundry, and a beautiful view. They give two tokens per person per day to use for hot drinks, washing... More

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in April 2012. The place was clean, included breakfast, Wifi, and hot drinks. Interlaken is expensive, which made this a great value. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. The location was convenient and had wonderful views. A wonderful place to stay.

My girlfriend and I stayed here when we were in Interlaken in March 2012. Absolutely stunning location with Jungfrau peaking through a break in the nearby mountains. The lobby is equipped with televisions to provide you with regular weather forecasts if you're deciding on making the trip up Jungfrau. They also have a great oken system where you are give... More

Stayed in a 4 bedded private room with my family. Having stayed in youth hostels before, I have to admit this is the best in Europe. The rooms are big enough with comfortable beds. Extremely friendly staff who are ready to offer assistance on travel tips, weather, directions. We stayed there for 7 nights and had a great time. The... More

It's been a while since I've slept in a youth hostel so I was a bit apprehensive prior to staying at Villa Sonnenhof back in March. I had two 16 years olds visiting in March and I thought I'd take them skiing in Wengen and give them their first taste of international travel at Villa Sonnenhof. The boys had a... More

We were a family of 6 and booked a six bedded room with attached toilet. Stayed in June'11 for 5 nights. The facilities are excellent. On checking in we were handed free tokens(in sufficient numbers) against which you can have either hot coffee or hot chocolate or even use the laundry. The kitchen is well equipped. General store is walking... More

I stayed at this hostel for four nights during September 2011. First impressions were not too far from West station, free bus travel within Interlaken and Wifi coin-operated but generous amounts of time for it! I have stated in previous reviews that hostels aren't generally my thing unless the price is really competitive, but this is actually one hostel I... More
