Top Interlaken Hotel Reviews

Hotel Krebs

Hotel Krebs

8/10 Good
"We stayed here for two nights. There was only one desk clerk that was friendly and helpful, the others we encountered were almost rude. We felt that the breakfast was not that great. One can order eggs by filling out a form near the kitchen door, and the chef comes out and verifies what you want exactly. (Which I did). We waited about twenty minutes and the buffet was getting ready to close. When I asked the "chef" where my eggs were, he said he didn't have a paper order from me, and I said I did and you and I reviewed it together. He said he didn't have it, and turned around and left. There is an extra charge for this, so at least we didn't get charged. The room was fine."

8/10 Good
"You’re getting an EPIC location and view (depending on the room) at a fraction of the cost of the near 5-stars. So don’t pick this one expecting luxury. It is a rather tired-looking hotel, but the rooms/linens were clean and freshly updated regularly. You can literally walk out the back door onto the main Central Park where you’ll see paragliders sailing overhead all day. You’re just steps away from the river walk as well. This is the ideal location for anyone running the Jungfrau Marathon because you’re right at the start - skip the PortaPotty line and go back to your room!"
