The price/performance ratio is good in Interlaken, suitable for one person traveling alone, but it is better to stay in a hotel for two people. The kitchen is very well done, and you can save a lot of money by going to the coop to buy groceries and cook.

The kitchen is quite big, there are many Asians, but there are no chopsticks. It is conveniently located between two train stations and can be reached on foot.

Crazy enough this is actually my second year stopping at Balmer's. I really enjoy the atmosphere they have here. You are able to meet people from all over the world and make new connections. It feels like everyone there, guests and staff, are like a little family.

We got the private room with shared toilet and shower - everything is clean and nice.. we even have a balcony!! The hostel has a jacuzzi, a relaxation room, a bar/club, great kitchen and big lounge / backyard area. We really enjoyed the activities they have - we joined the sunset swim and hiking to the waterfalls. Will surely book here again when in Interlaken ❤️

This was my second year stopping at Balmer's Hostel. The Hostel is very well kept and the workers are very kind and thoughtful. The outdoor water is very cold and tastes amazing. It is such a beautiful old building that is so welcoming and would definitely recommend going.

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Great kitchen, great facilities, great location. Coffee machine was a great touch, the bar is a bit pricey which is the only downside. The staff here were lovely and so were the other travelers. Would 100% book another stay here.

Clean and comfortable hostel with a great location walking distance from town center! Full of young, adventure seeking travelers. The amenities were great - awesome shower water pressure, free bus pass, and hot tub! Overall great experience and would definitely recommend!

This hostel absolutely exceeded all expectations. Balmers offers a wide range of amenities and experiences, including a bus pass, luggage storage room, club in the basement, a hot tub, a hammock room, and the very best water pressure I’ve experienced in a long, long time. Its location is optimal, being a short walk from the town center and modes of public transportation. I shared a private room with my friend, which was so perfect for us, and even included a sky light! Falling asleep under the alps was an experience I’ll never forget. Love this place and will be back!

Stayed here in 1992 and returned 31 years later to find the place is just as friendly warm and wonderful as ever! Now if you want luxury, fluffy towels and privacy then maybe book a hotel, but this place is really authentic as hostels go and you’d be hard pushed to meet a nicer group of travelers anywhere. It was Jungfrau Marathon weekend when we visited so everywhere was busy but that just made it more fun. Beds remain as basic as ever and bring your own pillow and towel if you like comfort. Has an fab laundry next door which helped with the washing mountain. Balmers is a great place to meet people and enjoy the wonderful area.
