 Hotel Roessli - a cosy &
rather cheap place by globetrott
Hotel Roessli is a rather small hotel, off the centre of Interlaken but within a walking distance of just 10 minutes from Interlaken-West-station and in a really quiet area without a lot of car-trafic. From some of the rooms you may even see the famous "Jungfrau-Blick".
This hotel is one of the places where I was working for 1 season many years ago and I would choose it again to stay for a vacation, because of the perfect combination of a simple and nice hotel, good food and everything within short walking-distance.
This small hotel is a good choice when you arrive by car, as they have their own parking, and when you arrive by train, it is just 10 minutes to walk from the station Interlaken West.

When you are able to afford such an exclusive place, Grand Hotel Jungfrau Victoria is THE place for you ! The Grandhotel is ment for people who care for a perfect room and excellent service, without having to care as well for the price....
They have an indoor-pool, a large wellness-area, garages, several restaurants, all set up perfectely with cloth-napkins and prices twice as high as usual, a pianist is playing....
All of the rooms face the famous Hoehematte, a meadow with the best "Jungfrau-blick" ,( the famous view on the Jungfrau).
This meadow was bought by the 1st owner of the hotel and given as a donation to the village of Interlaken in the 19th century , with the demand to leave it like it was for all times.

Grandhotel Giessbach is certainly one of the most beautiful hotels in the Berner Alpen and a very special place to spend a quiet vacation
The Grandhotel was built in 1855 opposite of the village of Brienz, on top of a rock overlooking Brienzersee and next to a really scenic waterfall. The most glorious times for the hotel was between 1870 and 1914 but afterwards tourism changed a lot and it was hard to fill the rooms of such a remote hotel.
In 1985 it was restored and it looks really great again from inside !! In Grandhotel Giessbach you may still breath the good old times, that seem to have stood still for ages there... Click on my picture in order to see the great details of architecture - I also have a seperate page about Giessbach, the waterfalls,the cable-car, the hotel & surroundings!
Grandhotel Giessbach is a bit off the beaten path, a place to relax, and it is very helpful to get there by your own car.
You may get to Giessbach :
1)on the road from Brienz - BUT it is quite narrow and might be dangerous at certain times, because only at a few places it is possible to pass by other cars, and it might be good to avoid the times, when the public bus goes to Axalp.
2)By ship - the elegant, traditional way, most of the tourists came that way in the good old times of the hotel. Each and every ship on Brienzersee stops there !! Theme: HotelComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: CH-3855 Brienz - Grandhotel GiessbachPhone: +41 (0)33 9522525Directions: Take the exit for Giessbach or Axalp, when you are driving on the highway between Brienz and Interlaken, or get there by the regular ship !Website: http://www.giessbach.ch/ Other Contact: Fax:+41(0)33 952 2530

Hotel Metropole is a monster-building of more than 15 floors, next to the famous "Grand Hotel Jungfrau Viktoria" and opposite the great restaurant & cafe "Schuh" on Hoehematte. In my opinion it is a shame that such a building was ever built next to many traditional buildings. At least it could easily be found, simply as it is the only sky-scraper in Interlaken.
Once that you do not care for the bad, modern architecture, you will find out, it is a great hotel with a perfect view on the mountains, in the very best location in Interlaken, about halfway between both trainstations Interlaken Ost and Interlaken West.
Search for special deals - they offer rather cheap rates out of season, as they have a lot of rooms to fill. they also have a large car-parking ! Theme: HotelComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: CH-3800 Interlaken - Hoeheweg 37Phone: +41(0)33 828 6666Directions: Hotel Metropole is in the very centre of town, about halfway between the trainstations Interlaken Ost and Interlaken West.

Rothorn Kulm is not only a great restaurant but it offers also hotelrooms and it might be an excellent idea to go uphill one day, spend the sundown on top of Rothorn, while all the daytourists are gone, spend the night in Hotel Rothorn Kulm and enjoy the sunset the next morning as well.
This great alpine hotel is in a hight of 2350 meters above sea-level, and you may get to this hotel by Brienzer Rothornbahn within 1 hour from the train-station in Brienz. The rooms in that hotel are simple, mostly just with running water, and they also have some large rooms for groups of hikers.
Reservation of rooms is advisable !!!
hotel-rothorn@brienz-rothorn-bahn.ch
Just imagine the great atmosphere on a sunny evening in summer, after the last day-tourists have left the Rothorn and only a few people are left back.It might be a good idea to go up one day, spend the night there and walk down the mountain the other day. Various hiking-paths are at your choice to Brienz, in direction of Bruenig-Pass and Lucerne, to Meiringen & Haslistal.

 Minotel Beau Site in Unterseen
/ Interlaken by globetrott, 4 more photos
The comfort and also the prices of Hotel Beau Site are a bit higher than in Hotel Roessli and they have also a great restaurant with a cheap 3-course-menu for residents and other tourists.
Most of the rooms are facing the famous "Jungfrau-Blick" and the old part of the building has really beautiful ornaments under the roof - see my pictures !
Minotel Beau Site is a good choice, when you arrive by car and intend to make your excursions with that car, as they have a big parking at the hotel.
Opposite of the hotel you will see a lovely garden, where children may feed goats Theme: HotelComparison: about averageAddress: CH-3800-Interlaken - Seestrasse 16Directions: get out of the trainstation Interlaken West and cross the rail-track and the river Aare to the north.

 Hotel Weisses Kreuz directely
at the street by globetrott, 4 more photos
When reserving a room in this hotel, you should be aware of the fact, that the railway - with all of its noises - and also the main road through Brienz is just in front of the hotel. The steam-trains of Rothornbahn are just starting behind the hotel, but these trains run only during the day and the first 1 or 2 trains will also have Diesel-engines in order to keep the noises to a minimum.

When hiking in the Berner Alpen you will find great alpine hotels at many places. Berghaus Maenndlenen-Weberhuette is such a quite simple "hotel" along the hiking-path between Schynige Platte, high above Wilderswil and First, high above Grindelwald. See their webpage below, they offer 30 seats in the small restaurant and a lot more at the terrace and they provide a "Massenlager" for 50 people .
it is rather a row of matresses than beds, but who cares about that in such a lovely scenery !!
And make sure you don't miss to take a picture of their lovely, romantic place, to powder your nose...
Split up the hike between Schynige Platte and First and spend the night in Weberhuette and you may enjoy the sundown and sunset in that unique scenery
Make reservations for a matress
as long time in advance as possible !!!
Berghaus Maendlenen-Weberhuette is open
between Mid June and mid October
just a matress is 28 sfr,
a matress & breakfast is 36 sfr (27 euros)
a matress with halfpension it is 52sfr Theme: HostelComparison: less expensive than averagePhone: 0041 33 853 44 64Directions: Maenndlenen-Weberhuette is about 3 hours from Schynigge Platte and 3,5 hours from First.
