    Everything good.

    We loved our stay in this historic hotel, it is conveniently located at 5 min walk from Widerswill station. The rooms are comfy and have all basic amenities, lets set the expectation right that this is a historic hotel and everything is cozy and basic, we loved the breakfast too. Very Close to nature. definitely recommended.

    When we entered the room there was a strange smell and the room is a bit dark.

    The room was spatious and clean. We found parking space in front of property. We arrived later and found the key on reception, which was no problem for us. We had a room without a view but it was not a problem for one night spent here.

    Things that make no sense or didn't work: Unless there was a dimmer-switch on the bedside lamps that I couldn't find, both should be rendered useless. The light sensor for the corridor to the rooms should be closer to the entrance - walking 6 steps in pitch darkness is unnerving! There was a Google review answer from staff, written 5 years ago, that said they were working on sound proofing the windows from the church clock bell - not happened, at least not in our room. The final big moan is to allow guests to relax and smoke right outside room 101's window (our room) by putting garden furniture there. Do we sleep with the smell of that or in an oven because we had to shut the window?

    A lovely selection for breakfast, in a clean restaurant. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower had great water pressure and temperature.

    Lock on our door was a bit finicky. Otherwise, everything was good.

    Cozy old hotel in an excellent location near the train and bus stations. Room was small (as expected from photos), but clean. Church bells didn't bother us. Good breakfast!

    Really nice place to stay if you're on a budget
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 2 nights

    - Though the 'church view' is nice, it's literally right next to the church and you get the pleasure of hearing the bells ring every 15 minutes, 24/7, i would recommend a different room - They charge 10 Francs per night for a crib (i know that's not a lot, but other hotels offer cribs for free) - While the bed frame is a queen, it's actually two smaller mattresses, which leaves a big gap in the middle - The location isn't in the main part if Interlaken, so restaurants and grocery stores are limited, but if you have a car then it's not a big deal, as it's only a couple minutes drive

    The breakfast was really good, with a variety of breads, meats, cheeses, yogurts, cereals, veggies, condiments, boiled eggs, and a coffee machine (and the staff quickly replenish everything). The staff were friendly, there's a shared fridge, good views from the second floor, and an overall cozy feeling.

    The posters all over the room with threats of expensive charges if damage to the room was made was a bit of a put off.

    This was a really old building with awesome character and charm. The room came with breakfast which was basic but lush (the bread was fresh and tasty). The room was very basic but had everything you need for a shot stay. We had a room facing the river which was a lovely view.

    Although church bell didn't bothered me at all, since great amount of my childhood days spent on the coutryside, sleeping in the room with large wall clock in living room, which strikes every hour and it has never waken me up I got so used to it. These sounds were so familiar they took me back to my chlidhood countryside house back in the days when my granma was still alive. But I know there are many sensitive souls that will suffer a lot especially when this bell strike every 15 minutes so taking cheapest room with window facing directly to the church could not be the best option to them. Breakfast was ok, but without any hot food like scrambled egg or fried pork, I believe it was not the season as we were only 4 guests that day and 2 rooms booked. looks like they have decent kitchen so you can expect better menu when the tourism season starts.

    Really nice place, surrounded by mountains, river and histirical buildings, Room was small but comfy, spring bed and orthopedic pillow was really nice surprise for me taking into account that I am having back pain problems time to time. Train station, restaurans and food stores are near within a short walk, you can take a walk down the river, to check other villages. I honestly don't understand people complaining on a pebly road, destroying their luggage wheels - you went out of your sterile concrete jungle to visit nature and historical villages and expecting everything here will be covered in asphalt for your convenience?

    We got off at the bus station and had to walk a distance on cobble ground with our luggage . Would be good if the hotel can add pick up service, will make it very convenient to visitors .

    Loved the sound of water stream overlooking the room. Lovely view from balcony.

    The location was just beautiful. We loved the sound of the rushing river, and enjoyed checking out the quaint church next door with its old cemetery behind. There was easy, direct access to a hiking trail behind the guest house, and it was an easy walk from the Wilderswil train, and a comfortable stroll to the two restaurants we visited on our stay. The room was comfortable, clean, and tastefully decorated (in keeping with the retro feel!).
