During vacation, one is supposed to wake up leisurely in the morning to a nice, quiet surroundings. However, there was major renovation going on and we were woken up to the noise of drilling and electric saws, not good. Secondly, because of this renovation,we were put up in an adjacent building, not the main one shown in the photos. The secondary building is not as pleasant as the main one, not much light falling into the room. During booking of this property on expedia, there was no information on this renovation, the reason is obvious but that does not mean the customers should get cheated.

More like a dorm than a hotel
This hotel is currently under renovations, so I am sure the new hotel rooms will be nicer. However, our hotel room was very minimal and looked more like a college dorm than a highly-rated hotel. There was no way to control the temperature of the room, the bed was uncomfortable, and the shower head was broken. Overall, this hotel was disappointing.

The location in town was great. The room felt more like a hostel than a hotel. It looked NOTHING like the pictures online. Bed was comfortable, but I got little sleep. I had to wake up early and the DJ at the hotel bar played loud music that kept me up till 1:00. Definitely would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone other than someone who plans to be out at the bar.

The room was very hot and had no air conditioner. In fact they said I did not book an air conditioned room. I did not know they had 2 kinds!! They switched me to a different room but gave me a twin bed with a horrible thin pillow. I had to bundle up a sweater and jacket which I used for a pillow. They have a breakfast buffet available for which they charge. Being on the main street is noisy since the door had to be open all night to cool. People walking outside were loud and talked late into the night, preventing sleep.

My girlfriend and I only stayed one night and it was very pleasant. The staff was also nice and helpful. Our room was big and clean. Our bed was also quite comfortable. Although we had a balcony, we would have loved to have a small fridge in our room. Apart from that we recommend City Oberland Swiss Quality Hotel.

Where do I begin?
Great location. The rooms are fine, a little bigger than usual for Europe. Our room had a little balcony which allowed for viewing the parasails. The room was quite nice except for one design flaw. The bathroom has a glass door which affords absolutely no privacy. The toilet might as well be right in the room. Breakfast was usually complete chaos as the hotel lodges numerous bus tours. They have difficulty keeping the food supplied so one thing or another is always being refreshed. The tours clean out the buffet before the regular guests have a chance to get anything. It’s a stressful way to start the day. The staff saw our frustration and made attempts to help us. However, eating breakfast in 3 different trips to the buffet was annoying. The males at the front desk could use some training in customer service, We requested an additional pillow to assist with a health condition and were met with a complaint about how everyone was asking for pillows. It made us uncomfortable, as it appeared that we were bothering him. Ultimately, housekeeping did provide us with the pillows and the young lady was very nice about it. This was our 6th trip to Switzerland and our 3rd trip to Interlaken. We would not stay here again and we would be more inclined to look for a small boutique style hotel.

Great location and spacious room. The breakfast had a good selection, was easy to use and the staff were friendly and prompt to bring coffee. The hotel though had a very ‘budget’ feel. One thin hard towel each, lumpy pillows, very tired hallways and stairs. This hotel is actually 3 separate buildings, we were in the Residence in the back which might be worse than the others. Also I was disappointed that their ‘free parking’ was limited to 10 spaces and the hotel probably has 80 rooms. So of course they were always full, especially since they are not monitored to be used just for guests. The people at the front desk smirked when I said it wasn’t fair to call to free parking “it is free it is just limited”. City parking is available very close by at 2 francs per hour, no cost between 7pm and 7am.

Our "executive suite" was a single, relatively small room with two twin beds pushed together. There was no small refrigerator, which we've come to expect, and the hotel had only one small ice machine that was usually empty. Air conditioning was either non-existent or didn't work. We did not think this was a very good value at $264 per night, though I'm aware that it was in a resort city, and the primary value was being in Interlaken.

The hotel was well located along the main route, right in the center of the action in Interlaken. Our room was very small, and though we requested a full size bed, we got 2 twin beds pushed together, with a gap between them, uncomfortable. In their defense, though, they did say they did not guarantee a full size bed. The staff was very helpful, letting us leave our luggage in their luggage room before we checked in and then after we checked out. Breakfast was included. It seemed to be a full breakfast, but some of it did not taste good. The meat looked like ham, but didn't taste like it. I wouldn't even try the scrambled eggs, they looked like lumps. The breads were nice and there wasn't much they could do to ruin the yogurt. I guess this hotel does a lot of business with tour groups. Every night, there were buses pulled up, luggage unloaded, and the next morning luggage all loaded up again. So, I guess the quality was good enough for the tour groups, or maybe the price was attractive to them. The absolutely best thing about the room, was that we could wake up in the morning and see the paragliders going past our window on their way to the park down the street.

Perfect location, not very friendly
I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights and booked weeks ahead via hotels.com. When I arrived, everything was okay but I got a call about 30 minutes after I checked in saying there was a problem with my check-in. Apparently they didn’t have my name on the list of guests that were to check in and I was checked in under another name similar to mine. I was very confused because I had booked weeks ahead and showed them the receipt and the conclusion was to just stay in the room. I arrived to my room to find that the card key wasn’t working so I had to go back downstairs and get a new one and come back up. All this happened and I received no apology whatsoever. The room was alright, but the bathroom wasn’t. However the location of the hotel is perfect with many stores around and the main train stations are just a feeble minutes walk away!

Great Spot in Interlaken.
Located right on the main street in Interlaken. Short walking distance from the West train station. Lots of shops and places to eat as well as some grocery markets to stock up your room! Hotel staff was nice and speak many languages. Bathroom is much larger than the typical European bath! Very nice.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. It was overall a great stay. Only complaint was no air conditioning but there was a ceiling fan. We had an adorable little balcony overlooking the main street. Free WiFi and free breakfast. I would recommend but make sure to clarify that there is no air conditioning.

Rude staff, money minded and no hospitality.
I had a very bad experience with the front office staff who showed no hospitality to the customer. This hotel being in a tourist location shows no courtesy to customers and they don't care customer needs. The breakfast at the hotel is terrible. The hotel has a different policy for individual tourist vs a group booking. Be very careful with the front office staff as they keep looking for ways to make money from you.
