A hotel that is just next to the train station

The location is just next to the Interlaken West station, making it very convenient for tourists like us who used the trains all the time. The included breakfast got variety. There were several supermarkets nearby, and restaurants too.

Dorint Essential - Interlaken West: Super stay

Perfect place to enjoy a vacation for myself and my two teenage kids. Spacious apartment right next to Interlaken West station which was surprisngly noise free (with windows closed). Great scenery, super location, very attentive service and great breakfast.
Vikas, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location in town with underground parking. Wonderful, helpful staff. Client in room despite being next door to train station.
Susan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great room with a view of the water and mountains. Breakfast buffett is amazing and has everything. Hotel is at Interlaken West train station and comes with free train/bus pass for use within town. TV was modern enough I could stream from my phone. Hotel workers were friendly and informative. I got hot water for my noodles. No cooking items or fridge are in rooms. Just coffee machine.
View from the room facing the river/lake.

Excellent location - on Interlaken west station

Neat rooms, good breakfast - only thing to mention didn’t have proper AC in the rooms and it was upto 30 degrees while we were there

Nice hotel
Jesús, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel’s location was excellent, and the staff were really helpful, especially Eduardo, who went above and beyond to assist us. However, the pillows and mattress were quite uncomfortable. My wife is pregnant, and unfortunately, there was very little lumbar or head support, which made it difficult for her to rest properly. Overall, though, it’s a nice hotel with great service — just needs improvement in the bedding comfort.
Rajeeb, 3-night trip

The views were stunning and the apartment was in excellent condition. Very accessible to the restaurants and train station

amazing hotel
Rajiv and, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient location

The location is on the West side of town so you do have to take a short train ride to Ost station each time you travel. Even though it’s next to the train station, we did not hear it at all! It was quiet, comfortable and the staff was very helpful. The breakfast is good and it’s nice to have grocery store across the street.

Okay stay

Overall, our stay was okay. However, for the price we paid, we expected the room to be larger and cleaner. On the positive side, the breakfast and location were outstanding, and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
