Myself, husband and two adult children stayed at the Hotel Metropole for a week in mid-August. We booked with Inghams, and had a Queen and two singles on the fifth and sixth floors. Even though we had booked standard rooms, these two floors were refurbished in the winter. So all of our rooms were modern and furnished to a high standard. The view of the mountains from our balconies was stunning. When we arrived and opened the curtains, we were greeted by paragliders swooping down! The rooms had climate control, but this was ineffective in the heat wave. The reception was quick to supply fans, and despite the heat we were able to stay cool with these and with the balcony door open. As we were on the sixth floor, we could hear the noise from the street below, but not enough to disturb our sleep. All of the staff in the hotel were friendly, helpful and welcoming - the manager, the reception staff, restaurant staff and housekeeping team. Nothing was too much trouble. We were half board. Breakfast was plentiful and was well stocked whatever time we arrived. They were quick to replenish items and refill the coffee machine. We ate in the restaurant at the top of the hotel every night. The views are incredible. The restaurant staff were lovely and so helpful. The menu offered enough variety for us for the week. The food was always well presented and delicious. My daughter used the gym and the sauna and was impressed with these. The hotel is in a perfect location right in the centre of Interlaken and close to both railway stations. We used it as a base to visit Thun, Jungfraujoch, Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Wengen, Mannlichen, Grindelwald, Brienz, Meirlingen and the Aare Gorge. Overall we were really impressed with the hotel and would definitely recommend it, as well as returning.
