Its located indeed on the platform of the main train station. For me this was great as I could just get down take a random train in any direction and come back to the room without much exertion.

Doorstep to Interlaken West train station. Migros and a shopping mall are just opposite. High speed wifi. Breakfast is good. Junior suite comes with a bunk bed for my kids and an open patio facing the lake. Beautiful view. Luggage storage available. Cons: Toilet door no lock. Room size is good for stay. Just no much space in room to open our 4 luggages.

Super Location

Hotel is located just in front of the Interlaken West train station. It was a surprise to us when we found that the entrance to the hotel is just 10m from the train when we alighted. It’s a good choice to stay here for few days when you make your trip in and out to the different Alps in the vicinity.
