This is the best hostel i've ever stayed in my life!
The staff was great. Friendly, caring and proactive. They made sure to always have free- fun activities for their guests that included activities around the Interlaken region and also at the hostel.
The housekeeping team makes an excellent work and the place is always clean.
I stayed at a 6-bed female bedroom and the beds were comfortable, you had enough space for secure storage and the shared bathrooms/showers were *always* clean.
The kitchen is amazing, you have everything you need to make the best meals and save money while being in Switzerland.
You can hang out almost everywhere @ the hostel and it's just a very nice place to stay.
Definitely would love to be back.

The reception staff is helpful. The building is made of wood, so it absorbs noise. The kitchen is spacious. Everyone usually washes their own dishes. The bathrooms are mostly frequented by young people between 18 and 25. The kitchen and bathrooms are cleaned regularly. Since these are mixed-gender rooms, there should be changing rooms. Changing in the shower is very uncomfortable. The pillows are very thin and uncomfortable. They are practically nonexistent. As with all hostels, snoring is a problem. If you snore, please stay in a private room, not a six-person room. There are iron cages instead of closets, and opening and closing them is noisy. They organize daily activities like picnics on the lake and parties, which is very pleasant.

He mochilado en Europa 3 veces y Balmers es, con mucho, el mejor albergue. Me he alojado en Balmers dos veces y amé mis dos experiencias. El albergue es divertido, limpio y acogedor. Hay un gran bar, lugares para pasar el rato y las habitaciones tienen mucho espacio

Tuve una buena estadía en el albergue. Reservé una habitación privada para mi perro y yo. La ubicación es central, es fácil de alcanzar desde la estación de tren. Hay restaurantes para comer fuera. También tienen una gran cocina de invitados. El personal es amable y servicial. Los recomendaría.

We had a great experience at Balmers Hostel during our time in Interlaken. Check-in was seamless, and a big shoutout to Joel, who was super helpful with local recommendations and transit information.
Since it was our first time staying there, Joel also gave us each a free bus pass for the duration of our stay and we used it every day.
The hostel itself is large and has a quaint, cozy charm, filled with cute trinkets and decorative touches that give it a really warm, welcoming atmosphere. There are plenty of common areas to relax or meet other travelers.
Overall, Balmers is a well-run, character-filled hostel with great service. We’d definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Interlaken!

Absolutely one of the best places I have stayed at. The staff are friendly and helpful with activities each night to make it easier to meet people. It also helps Interlaken is an amazing base to travel around from, with the area itself having enough activities and shops to get anything you need.
I stayed in a 6 bed female and the best part had to be the sink and mirror in the room. I found having a chair in the room so useful as well.
The shared spaces are thought out and provide a great opportunity to relax, work or meet new faces. The hostel has heaps to explore too, with signs around the town leading you there.
The laundry next door is not owned by Balmers but I’d get there as they open to avoid having to wait for the machine. Others will put items in if you aren’t there.

El sueño era cómodo y era agradable ver enormes cocinas, en lugar de pequeñas donde la gente se aprieta y se siente incómoda al usar las estufas. También había muchos duchas. Es bueno que hubiera una tarjeta de llave y una sala de estar muy agradable. Me gusta este albergue

Balmers siempre vale la pena visitar. La recepción es súper amigable y lo ayudan con cualquier pregunta o inquietud. La cocina comunitaria es muy espaciosa y muy bien equipada. Lo único de lo que estábamos fuera de las especias y la sal, pero hay un gallinero a la vuelta de la esquina. Nos quedamos juntos en una habitación privada para 8 personas. El espacio estaba bien equipado. Tiene tiras de cable para varios puertos USB. También hay cajas en la habitación para almacenar pertenencias personales. Afuera en el jardín y en las áreas comunes, hay más que suficiente espacio para relajarse y pasar tiempo juntos. Volveremos :)

We booked a separate room with six bunk beds, which was spotless; only drawback there wasn't any lift and room was on 3rd floor.
Its location is convenient, as it is close to all supermarkets and bus stops.

The best hostel in all of my years of backpacking. I absolutely loved this place so much. Loved waking up every morning in this place. The pictures speak for themselves, this stay was so great – very social, activities, and the amenities so good.
There is so many common areas to rest, socialize, drink, watch movies, eat. It was just so fun to explore every corner. The kitchen was massive (amazing for Switzerland prices so I could cook). So happy to have found this place. Please stay here you won't regret it
