We booked our hotels quite late so our options were limited. We stumbled across this room on airbnb (which we later realised after booking that it was part of this hotel).
Honestly we had settled our expectations before arriving because of the many negative reviews about this place. After seeing all the other photos of the rooms/bathrooms i’d say that we were quite lucky in getting a decently clean room, also quite spacious as well. Our bathroom was also acceptable and did not look as outdated as some of the photos posted here. At least to us it felt quite clean. Staff were helpful when we could not figure out the sink clogging system (our own problem but he came to our room and taught us how to use it haha) and let us borrow an adaptor with a deposit. There are stains here and there, on the shower curtains, tiny one on the pillow case, but again we expected it so we were able to overlook it.
We found that the main problem, instead of the room, was actually the doors (very hard to lock and unlock, can only be locked with your one key that they provide both inside and outside), and the hallways - it seemed like they did not really try to make it more ??presentable (the walk to our room on the first floor required us to walk past a space which had many tables and chairs, at times it kind of just looked like a storage area).
The best part of this hotel is the location as it’s literally in the middle of everything. It’s about a 8-10 min walk from Interlaken west station.
I think this hotel was ok for us as we were really only there to sleep and it was convenient to get to places. Also we were quite lucky in getting a decent room. But otherwise there are probably many better options for the same price in that area if you book early enough
