A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Interlaken
Hotel Weisses Kreuz turned out to be one of the most delightful surprises of our Swiss journey. Nestled right in the center of Interlaken, just a short walk from both train stations and surrounded by shops, cafés, and breathtaking alpine views, its location alone is a strong selling point—but it’s everything else that truly made our stay memorable.
From the moment we checked in, the staff greeted us with warm professionalism. There was a genuine friendliness in every interaction, and it’s clear they take pride in making guests feel welcome. Check-in was smooth, and we were even offered thoughtful tips about local attractions and weather-friendly activities.
The room we stayed in was bright, spacious, and far quieter than we expected given the central location. Large windows let in plenty of natural light, and touches like a kettle, a small fridge, and excellent water pressure in the shower made a big difference after long days of hiking and sightseeing. The bed was very comfortable, and we appreciated the clever storage options that helped keep everything organized.
One of the unexpected highlights was the included breakfast, served in the cozy sister restaurant next door. Fresh bread, buttery croissants, cheeses, eggs, fruit, and proper coffee—nothing extravagant, but everything delicious and just what you’d want before a day in the mountains.
Another major plus is the access to Hotel Krebs’ restaurant and facilities just a few steps away. We enjoyed a fantastic dinner there, sampling Swiss classics and chatting with fellow travelers. It’s a smart partnership that gives guests the best of both worlds: the value and comfort of Weisses Kreuz, plus the amenities of a higher-end property.
What makes Hotel Weisses Kreuz stand out is its balance of simplicity, cleanliness, central location, and excellent service—without the pretentiousness you sometimes find in tourist-heavy areas. It’s ideal for travelers who want to be in the heart of Interlaken while still enjoying a calm, well-run base to return to.
We’ll gladly return the next time we’re in the region—and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an honest, comfortable, and convenient stay in Interlaken.
