10/10 Excellent
"I like there shower, you will appreciate after whole day outside hiking or roaming. Nice and new property. Very good breakfast Right on the Interlaken west railway station. You will arrive at OST station then You have to change the train from OST station to go to west station for this. If you don’t want to change the train then look for something nearby OST station."
