The family-friendly Backpackers Villa in Interlaken, in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, offers simple yet stylish rooms that are individually decorated.

I loved how equipped this hostel is with everything you may need - kitchen, laundry especially. I stayed in a single room and it was simple, but sufficient. You get a free transport pass for the duration of your stay, which is handy! Staff is friendly and they accommodated me when I requested a room swap. The place is well maintained and the location is great.

Located in Interlaken, 19 km from Grindelwald Terminal, Walters Hostel Interlaken provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The host was super welcoming and friendly and had hosted us with a big smile, positive energy, and with our room ready. The room was HUGE and we had a little balcony, which we really, really enjoyed! We rented eBikes which we absolutely LOVED, and there is no better price in the area than at this hostel. The location was perfect, close and far enough from the center, close to a number of grocery stores. There was free coffee, which made a HUGE difference 🙏🏼 All the necessary kitchen supplies were there and we were able to cook. We were able to park at the property, and the host let us leave our car for a few hours after our check out. I will DEFINITELY stay at Walter's Hostel the next time I visit Interlaken, and it is definitely happening again! Thank you Marcus (please forgive if I didn't get the name fully correct), but I do remember that your dad's name is Walter! Thank you for hosting us 🙏🏼

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
