Too big! I felt like cattle in a factory. There is a free kitchen, but it only has 5 pots for approx 250 guests. This is order to promote their overpriced burger. An example of their 'comercialism' is the fact that they even sell gadgets of their hostel (e.g. keychain, clothes, ...)

the place is awasome!! Parties, near sport activities. The beds could be improved, they look like IKEA do-it-yourself furniture.

Didn't enjoy our stay at Balmers. They messed up our reservation then made it our problem... staff were rude and unhelpful and overcharged us. Food at the bar was disgusting, anyone staying in a dorm had to leave their room from 10am-4pm each day. Balmers is very overrated!

1) On the 1st of August the staff wore typical Swiss outfit. 2) From outside the hostel is nicely painted. Sorry, but that's all I liked, nothing else.

Great value, as long as you don't mind dorm living and a party atmosphere. Can't beat the location, and the free bus pass helps get you to the nearest train stations. Very helpful staff - maps, hiking trails, that sort of thing. Lastly, can't beat the happy hour. PS - Don't come here if you're trying to escape Americans!! Lots of college/recent-grad kids doing the summer tour of Europe. That being said - I had an awesome time.
