Really helpful staff, she responded to my urgent request for late check-in within 15 minutes, very efficient. The hostel had a really really really nice view of the Eiger, but honestly felt a bit far from the train station (have to catch a bus that runs every 30 minutes or something). It’s convenient with the bus but should be noted the last bus on weekdays is very early like at around 18:00, arriving any time after that requires walking up a SUPER STEEP hill.

Everything was good, the facilities, breakfast and the view.
Location was difficult to access but given the nature of the town its fair.
Just one thing the time of the check in and check out were insanely inconvenient and nobody was there to help during non-office hours until 4pm. Maybe something to improve on.

Great experience. Freindly staff that speak a wide range of languages. Location is what you make of it, a few steep hills to reach the hostel, but when your there you are rewarded with spectacular views. Breakfast is simple but filling,and a bonus seen as I wasn't expecting any food to be provided. Outside grounds provide a fire pit a Swiss hot tub, table tennis and there is also a games room aswell. Highly recommended as a solo traveller

the location is kind of crazy, do not trust your Google map, but the view is perfect, and the reception is friendly.

To get to the hostel, you will need to climb the steep hill. Therefore, if you carry luggage with you, it's better to get there by bus. However, it is totally worth it because the view is magnificent and breathtaking! The hostel serves nice food and good service. I can even enjoy the whole day watching the mysterious village from the hostel.

Our room had an amazing view of the mountains. (10/10) view.
However, it is not near the train station and the bus to the hostel ends around 6.30pm. The walk up is tiring and very steep. (For an active 20 year old)
Staff was not friendly and rude. Did not have a good experience there.
But they do have very lovely guests staying there during my trip.

Everything is good, including the view, but the location is on the hillside. You must catch the last bus at 6:40 pm! Otherwise you have to climb up the hill! I already doubted my life after climbing all night. Apart from that, the front desk was very warm and attentive, but the check-in was closed after 9:30 pm, so be sure to pay attention to the time if you come to stay!

Very beautiful and nice. The scenery is great. Climbing up the mountain is tiring, but you can take the shuttle bus before 7 o'clock, which is very convenient. Breakfast is included. The bathroom is very clean and convenient.
