Inconvenient access to Interlaken town
Hotel situated in a distant location with no public transport along hotel route in jungle area. If you use public transport to access to Interlaken town or train stations ( ost or west ), then you need to walk the way down 1.5km to the main road for a bus unless you can afford for a taxi on every trip. I strongly don't recommend this hotel as its not an ideal place to enjoy your stay. You will find it a burden instead of pleasure.

The room was OK. It was old n had wooden floor. Our first night, the folks above us made too much noise...everytime they walk, you can hear in your room. In addition, The rooms do not have fans or AC. Not only that, our room was on the back side of the hotel by the highway. In order to keep the room cold n have some air circulation, we had to leave the windows open...but when we left the windows open, we could hear the sound of the traffic from the highway, so the very first night, whole family could not sleep at all. The next morning, explained the situation to a front desk lady named "Ursula" and she ensured that we at least get a fan in the room. Other nights were little better with the help of a fan. Ursula was very friendly and helped us a lot during our stay. Rest of Hotel staff was great. Awesome breakfast in the morning as well. I am giving 3 star only because of our room condition n location in the hotel. The bathrooms are shared, but they are very neat and clean, so appreciate the hotel's staff for keeping them in great shape. If you are accustomed to most of European hotels (no fans/no AC) then you will be fine. I booked this hotel at the very last day before our trip, so guessing all the rooms were gone. Hotel is not far from downtown Interlaken. Free parking at the hotel which was good.

Beautiful area, unfortunately, during our first nigh a picture fell on my son’s bed. Nobody came to fix it after my request. They served all cheese during breakfast, my son got sick because of that. Don’t recommend it.

Affordable, clean, basic, accommodations
We were a group of 3 looking for budget accommodations near Harder Klum. Hotel is basic but clean and comfortable. There appeared to be ~5 rooms per floor which shared bathrooms and a shower per floor. No elevators, so we did need to carry our luggage up 3 flights. There was free parking in front of the building and breakfast was excellent. We had a rental car, but there is a restaurant/ bar within the hotel and a brewery and another little bar/restaurant ~2 min walk. Overall, I would recommend if you’re traveling on a budget and looking for basic accommodations.

Great customer service with decent facilities
Helpful hotel staff and great customer service. I had a good experience staying at this hotel. The hotel staff ensured that I could check in late in the night which was great. The kitchen was clean and had necessary utensils for us to cook breakfast during the stay. The facilities at the room were decent but there is a good scope for improvement. The hotel desk had a lot of suggestions for us as we were visiting Interlaken for the first time. Overall a good experience at the hotel. I would suggest the hotel.

First timers in Interlaken!
Perfect location, peaceful, near goats and cows grazing yet a great walk into Interlaken to connect to the train/busses! Safe and quiet and clean. Very helpful staff and friendly! Loved Iseltwald as well! Laundry and kitchen was very modern yet the windows opened up to the sound of the bells on the goats grazing on a green pasteure!!

Horrible place and owner
Don't book the apartment. This is pathetic location. Kitchen and bathroom were broken and when we told the owner about it he started arguing and fighting with us that you broken it intentionally. We vacated the flat within 5 minutes of checked in. Please don't go here. The area is also scarry and not good for family.
Response from Stefan Schneider on May 15, 2018
Dear Paresh Thank you for the message. Unfortunately, we have not had any conversation together concerning the broken kitchen. However, you have not booked the apartment, you have booked a low-budget room. As the hotel is called "Wald"-hotel (that means forest-hotel), it is situated in the woods with nice view to the mountains from the terrace. We are the 4th generation running the business and never something scary happaned. We can assure that you are very safe in Switzerland (much safer than ins most biger cities). However, we do note your feedback and we thank you very much. Best regards, Stefan Schneider (the owner)

The hotel is a family run hotel. some of the rooms are in need of a renovation but were extremely clean and comfortable with great views. The restaurant and common areas have been redone and are very nice. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay great. We really enjoyed our stay and it was very convenient on our way to Grindelwald.

Very nice and comfortable. Beautiful location.
excellent service. View of jungfrau peak from the hotel room is spectacular. Amazing breakfast with lots of variety. Interlaken west railway station is about 10 mins by walk, however interlaken ost station is not walkable but about 6 mins by taxi. If you have luggages suggest you get down at interlaken ost station and take the taxi which would cost about 22~25 chf.

No one would ever go back twice to this hotel.
This place is fairly cheap by Interlaken standards but it is basically a backpackers joint marketed as an hotel. Honestly, they probably rely on booking websites like Expedia to get one time customers because no one will go back a second time. It is clean and staff are friendly but for the price you expect a lot more. When booking it is not clear that they have shared bathrooms until you finish the booking.
