Valley Hostel is located in Lauterbrunnen. Free WiFi access is available. At Valley Hostel you will find a garden and a shared kitchen.

The kitchen was very big but got crowded at times, so we had to wait for it to clear out before cooking. The rooms were very comfortable and nice though!

Sonnenberg Dormitories has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Mürren. Located around 3.4 miles from Schilthorn, the hostel with free WiFi is also 4.2 miles away from Mürren – Schilthorn.

Beautiful isolated location with amazing views, having a coffee watching the sun peep over the mountains was therapeutic. Accommodated for a late check-in which was also nice

Located in Lauterbrunnen, 10 miles from Grindelwald Terminal, Alpine Base Hostel - Adults only provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Room was clean and noise level acceptable. Room was generally quiet except after 5am when other guests started using the common toilets which is near my room. During the last 2 days of stay the room above did generate a fair bit of noise, but luckily it was not prolonged and did not affect my sleep.

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

I liked the location, how the staff treats the guests, and the amenities. Great value for money. I will book here again for sure. Breakfast was okay.

Only 0.9 mi from the ski elevators, this youth hostel is located in Grindelwald. The sun terrace and the lovely breakfast room have beautiful views of the Bernese Alps. Packed lunches are available.

The staff or some of the most amazing people I've met, very nice and very accommodating and exceptional food. And the view of the mountain Alps from my room was perfect, It will be my official stay next time I go back to Grindlewald. Thank you staff for allowing me to have such a nice time. Hope you all take care, from your friend Jake!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The location of this hostel is breathtaking. You are surrounded by mountains. The staff was super welcoming and friendly. Bf was included, and let me tell you, what a great breakfast! They offered pizzas for a cost at night, and they looked amazing! Drinks were also available. The shared dormitory was ok, and the whole house too. Toilet facilities shared but cleaned.

    The vibe of the hostel is excellent. The location is couple of steps from Gimmelwald cable car station and many trails starts from the hostel.

    This is one of the greatest locations on earth! The views are literally incredible. The hostel is positioned perfectly to enjoy the views, or to start a hike. It is also right next to the cable car station, so it's super convenient. Everyone was extremely helpful and made us feel welcome, and the breakfast was very good.

    The location and vibe can’t be beat! It is great fun with a lovely community feel and amazing community spaces. There is no better view in the world. The breakfast was basic but good and the pizzas at night were great! I had stayed in 1998 as a backpacker and loved it so much I returned 25 years later with my family:)

    After all, this is a hostel. It is run by friendly college students who need to be more professional. It took a long time to check in because there was only one computer. They would not check you in even five minutes before 2 PM! The entire process of checking in is chaotic. This is not a hotel but a hostel. Families with little children was staying there. I would rather stay in Murren and pay more for a more comfortable stay.

    A good budget option, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Just go prepared for what it is - a budget hostel with lots of young folks.
