Location wise, nothing much to critique as it’s situated right beside the train station. You can’t get anything more convenient than this.
We like the modern design of the room, generally. The only negative point we experienced was the smell. There was a smell (smells like pee) inside the room but surprisingly not the toilet. Toilet actually smells better than the room. Ventilation was poorly managed, I guess. And the staff said there’s nothing they could do about it and to my biggest surprise, the hotel does not have an air freshener at all!
Contrary to those reviews saying how good the breakfast is, I find it quite disappointing. Food selection is so limited and the quality wasn’t better or even on par with the typical hotel breakfast standard.
Here I would like to commend on a particular staff named Iulia (not sure if I spell it correctly). She is nice, friendly and accommodating. I would like to thank her for her hospitality.
Overall, I would probably come back to stay again at Essential for its perfect location.

Super great location which just located right at the Interlaken station. And opposite there’s a kiosk/supermarket.
Room is a bit small and aware to bring your own slippers and brush or vanity if needed, there’s nothing provided by the hotel, not even refill the bottles of water even you stayed for consecutive nights, the staff mentioned it will only provide once when you check-in.

The hotel is very convenient, a very new hotel, super modern and comfortable. It breaks the old-fashioned style of conventional European hotels. The overall is really good, but the front desk is a bit sang~~

The room is quite big in Switzerland, but the key is that it is right next to the West Railway Station. I thought I would have to walk a few steps when I got off the train on the first day, but when I looked up, I saw the hotel. It was very convenient to travel in the next few days, and I could stop at any West Railway Station. The room faced the river view and the train, but the sound insulation was very good and had no impact.
However, in addition to the city tax, a 300 Swiss franc deposit was also collected. After the trip was over, the deposit was not refunded to the credit card, and other hotels refunded it instantly.

The transportation is very convenient, right next to the train station. I can see a good view from my room. There are some good shops around. It is within walking distance from the Incraken East and West train stations (if you are in the mood for a walk)

Although the room is a bit small, it has everything. The hotel just opened in 2024 and the facilities are very new. It is conveniently located next to Interlaken West Station and there is a large supermarket opposite.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to Interlaken West Station. The shower is not on the bathtub (which is quite satisfactory). However, the safe in the room is quite small and can't even fit my computer. The hotel also requires a deposit, which has not been returned for almost a week. This has not happened in other hotels in other cities.

The biggest advantage of this hotel is that it is in Interlaken West. Walking out of the restaurant is the train station, which is very convenient to go anywhere. In addition, there is a supermarket across the road, which is convenient for buying Evian water, because the hotel only has Welcome Water, which will be gone the next day.

The hotel is very convenient, right next to the platform, and you can enter the hotel right from the platform! ! The location is really convenient! There are supermarkets, bus stops, etc. nearby, and it is also very convenient to get to nearby attractions.
The breakfast at the hotel is delicious, and the staff will try their best to help deal with various situations.
But the only drawback is that the facilities in the room are relatively insufficient. There is no refrigerator in the room. In addition, there are few safes in the room. The 12-inch computer I brought has to be turned left and right before it can be put in...
