My husband and I stayed at Carlton-Europe Hotel for two nights during our stay in Interlaken in April 2012 for Easter. I ranked this hotel the best compared to the other 5 hotels in Germany, Swiss and Italy with similar price that we also booked on hotels.com for our trip. The service of this hotel is excellent, we were greeted upon check-in and were provided a map of the city and a travel card that allowed us taking the all buses free of charge in Interlaken and between the Ost and West station. The front desk staff that received us - Christina, was particularly helpful to all our requests and always wears a big and sweet smile which makes guests feel welcome. Our room was spacious and decorated in country style with a balcony that could directly see the snow mountains. The bathroom was nice with a shower tap that you could adjust the water pressure and temperature you want so after a long day trip we could relax the muscles. The breakfasts were also nice with a variety of quality food to choose (much better than other hotels with similar price). The hotel also has a pool table and a common room for use. Late check-out was also ok and we received a small jar of homemade jam as a gift when we checked out and it was a surprise to us. The staff did not just serve you as a job but with professional attitude that care about your stay with them. The hotel restaurant was also nice, we tried traditional Swiss Fondue and it was tasty and cheaper than other restaurants around town. This hotel is situated in good location, only a few mins walk from the train station (Interlaken Ost). Overall I highly recommend this hotel to everyone who plans to visit Interlaken.
