Erica, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is conveniently located inside the Interlaken West train station! Our room was located right next to the tracks but we could barely hear trains go by! We were so impressed with their soundproofing system! Hotel breakfast was great too! We also enjoyed the river view beyond the train tracks that you can see through a wall sized window! They also provide a free local transportation pass that you can use for buses, trains, etc. I highly recommend this hotel!

Great location bad front office staff.

Nice clean and great location. Rooms are a bit small but manageable. If you are lucky, you might get a room with a great view. Se. photos attached. Literally beside the train station. Great breakfast spread. BUT!!! the front office are quite snobby and totally not friendly. During our first day checking in, the day shift front office are not helpful, answers inquiries in a sarcastic way. but at the day of our check out the front office staff on duty was very friendly and helpful.

Diamond, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

I did not enjoy my stay in essential by dorint interlaken. Our children's room aircon was not working our whole stay and when we complained, they gave us an electric fan. Also, our own room has ac but it was not cold at all. The only good about this hotel is the train stops right outside the hotel so its very convenient.

Great location, friendly staff and awesome breakfast
Shatha, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel ok apart from the view from our patio which was a wall with large metalwork structure on top not the beautiful view advertised. I wish I had taken photo but didn’t as I was so disappointed at the time. I have given feedback to hotel that this is a misrepresentation but they just said thank you for your feedback.
Katrina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean hotel - good for short stays

The stay was nice, the hotel is really clean. I’d say it’s much better for short business trips or short stays overall. Not much to do in the hotel, would be better if they had amenities like gym, spa, pool etc. I think a little over priced considering there is just breakfast and room
