We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Balmers! While I would say this place is for a younger crowd, I think there is something for everyone! They have nightly events (Trivia, sunset outings, movies, etc) and are located in a great location central to everything you could need!

Walkable to restaurant, coffee shops , bakery and transporation. Just few steps infront of Balmers. People are nice. Easy to get lost inside the place on your first day but we will for sure stay again in some day.

Nothing fancy. Bit hot but the fan did the work. It also helped reducing the street noise. A good place to spend couple of nights.

Our family occupied the whole room with 3 bunk beds… adequate space, no elevator. Clean toilets but no hot shower in the early morning during our stay. Staff are friendly.

Comfortable room with excellent view of Jungfrau

Double room was very comfortable and had excellent view of Jungfrau. Good fridge / food storage system. But kitchen was bit crowded in evenings. Easy to walk / bus to Interlaken West and Ost

A great pick for Interlaken!

Balmer's has a ton of character! I really liked the different common areas for hanging out, and the kitchen was massive with lots of fridges. It's great if you want to cook your own meals. The under the bed storage bins for each person were a nice touch. Unfortunately, it did get a bit hot at night with only a non-oscillating fan. The bus stops right outside made getting around super easy. They also offer activities for guests (I didn’t join any), but it definitely had a social vibe. Overall, a great stay!

This was a good hostel but not great. The “J” rooms need a shower that’s closer. Maybe convert the kitchen that was out of order.

Best hostel ever. I'm very picky solo woman and i absolutely loved it. It is an experience not just a hostel. They give you a free bus pass too. It is super clean and close to things. The owner was there when i checked out he was very kind and asked me about my experience.

Our room is in attic and right across the washing area, for some reason every time the toilet flushes we can hear a loud gurgling sound in the room and there always are people talking very late at night, this is not a place for light sleeper and I did not rest well during my stay. I like the well equipped public kitchen and there is coop nearby so cooking was nice and easy.

if you like to sleep DO NOT STAY HERE it is sooooooo loud at night and you can hear everything through the walls. The doors are so loud and you can hear every conversation through the walls. We also booked a “Private 8 Person Dorm” which said “Room Facilities- Bathroom” So we assumed it had a bathroom but no they are communal bathrooms which is in the very small print. Very misleading.

I had a issue with the payment and lose a several time trying to solve it with the property and they didn’t resolve it because they said they would pay a tax but anyway even try to understand my side and talk with the booking company. They compensated the payment without my permission even I telling them I’d have a trouble paying other tax, and also it wasn’t the way I wanted pay for it, they didn’t listen me and did it and I just realised it half month later. I don’t know how they have access for it, so be careful. Also the hostel is very very noisy in the whole night, a lot of people drunk around and it is in a very far and isolated area.
