I like that they book activities for you. And the staff help you out really well with everything. And that breakfast is included! And that there was a bus from the train station.

Place was clean & nice. There are heaps of common areas and a great place to meet people. Extra points for having a Piano in the dining area :) There are lockers near the baggage area, but pretty much no one uses them and the rooms are locked out during the day anyway. With the attitude of the people here, it's a pretty secure place. The showers & toilets are outside of the room, but they're clean and I've never had to wait. Since arriving here I've already extended my stay by 2 nights :)

Balmer's was THE place for young people to stay in Interlaken. Friendly staff, a fun atmosphere (like summer-camp) and plenty of activities. I've never had more fun at a hostel. Whether you want to or not you will meet plenty of other travelers and makes lots of new friends. Get ready to have lots of fun and probably extend your stay at Balmer's Herberge

Free Wireless was great, no lockers in dorms though(!) bring a padlock (some in luggage area). 15 minute walk from station. Super party atmosphere and the bar is open to the public, so security isn't the best. Little nightclub downstairs. Go here if you're up for getting hammered with loads of Americans but be warned they kick you out of the dorms early so you may be nursing that hangover for a while... Staff were very helpful, though overworked at times in reception. We were very kindly offered a lift to the station as we left which was a lovely touch. Breakfast is average, but free. Self catering not the best, very cramped for so large a place. Loads of lovely common areas. Be warned (though nothing to do with the hostel, but you might like to know) the supermakets close EARLY in interlaken!

Great place to meet other backpackers, all around 19-24 yrs old... offer many activities at the hostel, lots of fun, kind of annoying though that you are kicked out of the room from 10:30 AM until 4 PM.. pretty cool place though.
