Pensier Vacations from $1,070

Pros: great location in Interlaken and the staff is friendly. Parking is great (does cost money). The best part is the stunning view we had on our balcony overlooking the river and the surrounding mountains. The rooms were clean and the maid service was good. Cons: the walls are very thin and I could hear the people above me stomping around until very late at night. Made it very hard to sleep. It’s an old hotel so nothing they can do. I eventually had to switch rooms in the hope the next people above me were quieter. The rooms are also very small and don’t have any touch of luxury. For the amount this hotel costs I was expecting better.

Staff responds quickly to questions submitted via the app - and gave me all of the conversion plugs I need for power.

I loved the community spaces and facilities, especially the roof top terrace. The room was efficient and the bed was incredibly comfortable. It was apparent that everyone was happy to be there.

I stayed in a small single room on the 4th floor for two nights. My room was simple but very neat and clean. The layout is a bit strange. Breakfast is ok, but limited. My main challenge was the noise level and long check-in time. On the second night the noise was extremely loud from the theatre near the hotel. It stopped a bit after 11pm but the room was definitely not sound proof and it made for a non-peaceful evening in my room. I also thought it was overpriced for a small single room. But it definitely felt safe.

I liked the overall stay. Having private equipped kitchen is great perk. The room was also good. Although bed and bathroom were clean and tidy but room floor was not properly cleaned and had some dust and particles so I am rating it 4 star. There are further some suggestions regarding room preparations that can be added like slippers, shampoo and toothpaste etc.
