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

8/10 Very good

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
Waqas, 3-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.
Melissa, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel staff was amazing. The food was good at the restaurant and the breakfast. The room AC barely worked. The front desk had to bring us an additional fan. The fire alarm went off around 12am. So convenient to be so close to the train station.
