Very good

The location blown my mind away. Absolutely gorgeous view, and the staff was great. My concern is sharing bathrooms with other guests. I guess I didn’t pay attention to that aspect because I would have not booked a stay in a place where you have to share showers and toilets with people you don’t know. Specially when traveling with children that they don’t know better and take less precautions than us adults when it comes to showering and using the restroom. I will also suggest to add fans in the rooms because it was very hot inside the room the entire night. Although, the room had a window, it was not screened for us to opened and let fresh air come inside. That was a bit disappointing during our stay.
We LOVED this location. We had a lake view room with a balcony which we very much enjoyed. Highly recommend staying in Iseltwald versus Interlaken because of the charm of the small village and the setting. We didnt see much of Interlaken but it seemed commercialized and didnt have much character, but it was the main transportation hub. If you dont mind coordinating with the bus schedule to get to Iseltwald, it was such a nicer spot to be.
The hostel was very clean, the staff were wonderful and very helpful, the view was amazing and we appreciated having the outdoor space to use and common dining room/living room and access to the kitchen.
The only drawback is that the building is older and the walls were very thin, but the guests were very respectful and fairly quiet so we slept quite well. They provide earplugs too!
Would definitely recommend this place regardless!
Just keep in mind that if you’re planning on getting to Interlaken you probably will need a car. It’s a ten minute drive. But the place is beautiful right on the lake. The staff was super helpful and friendly.

I chose this hostel for a lake view but the property was too basic. Shared bathroom wasn’t a problem but I wouldn’t be going there again. It’s better to stay in Interlaken and visit Iseltwald on the bus for lake view.
The location was excellent. We were looking forward to stay (3 days 2 nights) and enjoy the lake view and the surrounding. Unfortunately, on the first night of our stay, my family members and myself were bitten by bed bugs in our bunk beds. our arms and legs were swollen so we have to leave immediate.
