Zhin Kwang, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean hotel - good for short stays

The stay was nice, the hotel is really clean. I’d say it’s much better for short business trips or short stays overall. Not much to do in the hotel, would be better if they had amenities like gym, spa, pool etc. I think a little over priced considering there is just breakfast and room

Very nice staff, excellent location, and the room was cozy.
Diamond, 4-night trip

Right by the train station and convenient to everything but still very quiet and warm. Well laid out rooms and a great shower. We also really enjoyed the breakfast, very tasty and a good kick start for the day!
Emma, 4-night trip

Great location right by the Interlaken West Train station. My room was too hot, couldn’t lower the temperature any more. The room itself was good, had everything that you would need. Breakfast was very good.

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay near everything in the city. Easy to walk to all the main attractions.
Joshua, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

3 star hotel that feels like a 4 star. Pros (1) Location. Connected directly to Interlaken West Train Station. Easy to get in /out of and use as a base to explore the area. (2) Great buffet breakfast- high quality and variety. (3) Clean and newer ameneties. Cons (1) A/C in my room didn’t work (blow air but not cold air) and the rooms run on the hot side if it’s facing the mountain. Was tolerable in April but would be an issue in hotter months. (2) If you are a light sleeper you can hear the train when it passes if you’re facing the mountain. I was on the 3rd floor. Surprisingly it wasn’t as loud but you can hear it. The trains do stop during the night. Overall, I would stay here again given the location.

10/10 Exceptional

Its located indeed on the platform of the main train station. For me this was great as I could just get down take a random train in any direction and come back to the room without much exertion.
Akshat, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms were clean and well-equipped, and the hotel’s proximity to the train station and ski lifts made it perfect for exploring Interlaken. Wonderful experience!
