    On my first visit to Interlaken, I stayed at Balmers with 3 other friends. We were able to get our own, private 4 bed room, which is the way to go, if you can. After two of those friends left, me and Grant stayed in the 6 person dorm room. Both instances provided a great night sleep, with super beds, and big, warm down comforters. Man, is that the only way to go in Switzerland. The hostel itself is a rustic-type group of buildings, with exposed wooden beams, and fireplaces in the main lodge. Breakfast is included and they have great, cheap dinners available. The sitting areas are a great place to hang out and visit, and they show DVD movies around 5-7 PM. For the night owls, they have their own bar underneath the hostel, called the Metro. It is a fine place to have a night out, and they televise sporting events form all over the world. They have been doing it for over 50 years, and it shows.

    We stayed at the Balmers Herberg in Interlaken - it was fantastic as we were almost the only ones there...

    (I have been told during the peak season it's pretty crappy staying at Balmers...as we were there in mid October it wasn't very busy at all - unless you want to party all night long don't stay there during the peak season)

    We paid 34 CHF for a double room without an en-suite but including breakfast...

    They have a good set up and everyone spoke English (after seven weeks of other languages it was nice to hear some English). The hostel was filled with 99% Aussies, Canadians and Americans but it was okay for a couple of nights. The price was okay and they had free games - fussball, table tennis etc. The lounges are cozy too!!

    If you have trouble meeting people.. stay here. Reluctantly I have to say I had a very good time, and enjoyed the experience alot. Yes I had alot of Fun! I say reluctantly, as the place is packed full of Americans, particularly those College Students on summer vacation. I am not anti-American, it's just that these type of "tourists", are only travelling Europe to have alot of Fun and dont really take in any of the local culture....of course there are plenty of exceptions to the rule... I am generalising. If it wasnt for this hostel the town wouldnt have any money!

    They organise so many activities, it is a great place to have fun and meet alot of fellow backpackers. The place is always packed. Preebook you must. I didnt and had to sleep in a tent one night. The next night they forgot about me and had to put me in a bed in a female dorm. Not such a bad thing, but I got to bed at 5am and then was up at 7am!

    Wow. What a place. Yes, it's been ages since we stayed here... The location was great. And it was quite cheap for Switzerland.

    Red and white gingham bed linens!
    Helpful staff.
    Bustling with young people with backpacks of course.

    Balmer's is heaven for a young traveler looking to see one of the most beautiful places in the world, experience the outdoors, and have a great time. The beds were clean, the drinks were cold, and there was a market down the street that allowed us to utilize the kitchen. I am yet to stay in a hostel more appealing.

    It has an outdoor area with lots of activities and an amazing views. An outside bar with a half off happy hour and a decent burger. The bar kicks off at night, it has a lot of potential but really relies on the people that fill it. If fun people are there you will have a good time, if not do your best to be those people.

  • This place was incredible. If you go to Interlaken and are looking for a good time, stay here - you won't regret it. Very clean and social, Balmers has a BBQ, bars, a dance club, and organized excursions. I can't wait to go back.
