“Staying here places you in a 16th-century building with garden views of Mount Virgin; the historic charm is undeniable, yet modern amenities such as WiFi and updated rooms are thoughtfully included. The on-site restaurant, serving a continental breakfast, and proximity to attractions like Harder Kulm, just two kilometers away, add appeal. It is a very unique place to consider, especially for families.”

decent stay at a convenient location

scenic walk free travel thin bedding kettle absence

The location was ideal for us. interlaken ost or interlaken west was accessible by bus 104 or 105. Bus stops were near the hotel. the walk was scenic and enchanting. We saw paragliders in hohematte park and happy fish in jardin japonais. the card for free bus travel was useful.

the bedding was quite thin. basics like conditioner, and a kettle were not provided.

free parking main street easy access delicious breakfast

i enjoyed that free parking existed right at the hotel. this makes things really easy when you arrive by car. also, the hotel sits just a short walk from the main street. this allowed easy access to lots of local spots. the breakfast each morning were delicious.

the floors are wood, so i did hear creaks as people walked around.
