Set in Interlaken, 1.3 km from Interlaken East Port, Chalet Hostel @ Backpackers Villa Interlaken offers accommodation with a shared lounge, a garden and a terrace. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests.

For the price per night, breakfast was brilliant. Hot chocolate from the machine one of the best I've had in Europe. Kitchen was fantastic and lots of people using it so a good chance to meet others. Staff on the desk were friendly and helpful and an electronic display with the bus times. Big screen .TV with the conditions for each ski field. Free lockers for use after checking out.

At the hostel, each room is fitted with a desk, bed linen and a balcony with a garden view. Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Walters Hostel Interlaken also offer a mountain view. Guest rooms include a safety deposit box.

Walters Hostel Interlaken is just a 5 minutes' walk to Interlaken Ost, which can connect you to any city in Switzerland and small towns of the Bernese Oberland. The property is located in a serene area that allows you to appreciate Interlaken in all its natural beauty. The room is spacious, the kitchen provides you with your essential dining needs, and the bathroom is well-maintained even if shared by three rooms. I guess, the heart of the property is its owner/manager who exudes that genuine care for his guests, ensuring that they are well-taken care of. He has an amiable personality that allows you to instantly connect even if you have just met him, which makes you feel welcome and secured. The property is more like a home than a commercial establishment in Interlaken. It's a good find that you should book and I can assure you that you will not regret it. Interlaken is also a very beautiful city to visit.

    The best hostel, the best breakfast. It was completed and you can eat as many times as you want. They have excellent coffee machines and offer you free teas the rest of the day, as the towels, that you can change it each day. The personal was really kind.
