Super Cool Hostel
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.
