I stayed here only 1 of 3 nights that I was in Interlaken but was tempted to extend the trip another night. From the reception to breakfast, laundry and atmosphere the Backpacker's Villa had it together. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the front lobby was constantly teeming with friendly travelers of all ages. We stayed in one... More

I stayed in a female only 6-bed dorm with ensuite for four nights at the end of May. Having stayed in many, many hostels in my time, I particularly liked the additional touches at this hostel. The shower, toilet and hand basin were all separate, which meant you could still get ready in the morning if one or the other... More

first of all, everything was really clean and quiet. and the staffs were very kind. so I think this hostel would be nice for those who are traveling with family. and I was satisfied with that free coffee! However the price was bit expensive than I thought. but the rest of them I really loved it!

Having stayed in hotels all our life, we were extremely apprehensive of the quality that we would get at Backpackers Villa. However, all our doubts were blown away the moment we reached the hostel. Ms. J (cannot recollect the full name) was most helpful apart from being cheerful and lively. Mr. Rafael was great too. Amenities and facilities at the... More

We arrived late in the evening, near the closing time for the reception, but the staff at the reception explained everything we need to know about the place clearly nonetheless. There's a small elevator for transporting of luggage (which is a good thing for lazy people like us!) We stayed in a 4-bed room with Jungfrau view & toilet in... More

Stayed here twice in last 6 months, once travelling solo during peak winter and then with my wife in warm summer. Switzerland offered 2 different beautiful sights to watch in the respective season but this place offered me the same high quality spot on service each time. Quite sceptical about staying in a hostel/dorm first time when i travelled but... More

The rooms were basic but really good - clean and fesh and we each had our own bathroom. Its within walking distance of Interlaken and both train stations. Would thoroughly recommend this backpackers (although we are... More

This is simply one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Everything from the staff, the cleanliness of room, nice showers and comfortable beds, to the location was perfect. The staff were knowledgeable about any questions I might have and invaluable when deciding on what day to travel up Jungfrau. Incidentally if you're in any kind of indecision about... More

Lovely location, very easy to find, signposted all the way. Great room, clean and big with linen and towels. My parents hadn't been to a hostel before and were skeptical, but loved it in the end. We loved the huge kitchen(s) and made our own food! Free city transport card and free tokens for hot drinks.. Great views from the... More

But it turned out to be extremely neat & clean with comfortable rooms & extremely friendly & helpful staff. It was a great experience & we would def go back if we ever return... More
