Set in Interlaken, 19 km from Grindelwald Terminal, Chalet Hostel @ Backpackers Villa Interlaken offers accommodation with a garden, private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is 80 metres from the city centre and 21 km from Giessbachfälle. The stay was really comfortable, and the location was really accessible. About 15mins from the train station and a bus stop right in front. The staff were super friendly, the rooms and especially the toilets were clean, and the included breakfast was quite decent. Not to mention they include a local transit pass in the price which is a great thing. They got free lockers, a full range kitchen with multiple stoves and ovens, a whole bunch of games for all ages... It really was a perfect hostel

The property is situated 19 km from Grindelwald Terminal, 10 km from Mount Eiger and 20 km from First. Certain rooms at the property include a balcony with a mountain view.

At the hostel, each room includes a desk. Guest rooms have a wardrobe. The hostel has a PERFECT location, we loved to walk there, we found different routes with amazing views, for our family this distance from the center was an advantage! (15min slow enjoying walk) They have a cool bbq place in the forest,with all necessary things, you just need to buy some meat and marshmallows from Coop. The owners are very friendly and helpful! The room was nice,cozy and clean! The house looks old and very authentic. There is a big kitchen with all the equipment and a fridge, where you can put your food. In the morning, we enjoyed our breakfast, just 7min walk from the hostel, in the opposite direction of the town, in an amazing place with alpacas. Bathrooms are very clean, if you worry that you need to share it - forget about it, the hostel is empty all day - everyone is hiking. The check in and out hours are also very convenient. I definitely recommend this hostel❤️

The accommodation provides a ski pass sales point, as well as ski-to-door access and barbecue facilities. The property is non-smoking and is set 6.9 km from Titlis Rotair Cable Car.

The hostel offers a buffet or continental breakfast. Our meals were delicious and the chef took Into account for 2 of our children’s food allergies. The location and views were amazing. Our children (ages 4,9 and 11) all loved the playgrounds and treasure hunt hike up the mountain. This was a very family friendly lodge and we hope to visit again! Everyone who works here is friendly and compassionate.

Aktivhostel HängeMatt features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Matt. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are featured.

At the hostel, every room is fitted with a wardrobe.

Guests at Aktivhostel HängeMatt can enjoy a continental breakfast. Everything. All the reviews about this accomodation are true. To provide a more unique piece of comment, when I arrived late, tired and outside of incheck hours, I found the bedsheets presented neatly inside-out. In case we are not familiair with how to make up a bed the easiest way, take the sheets inside-out and shake like crazy. I was tired and I was positively speechless (if I was talking). Never made a bed up so easily in my life, for real. On a more personal experience, Matt really gave me the “Swiss” feeling that other, more touristy places, failed me to provide. I felt comfortable and like at home in the area, but then in Switzerland. I will definitely come back here, to climb the mountain across Matt. I did not have the time for it sadly. Also, ja, Florian, cool dude. The reviews about the host does him right. (Also you get free public transport btw, in the Kanton)
