Schynige Platte, Interlaken

Advantages: Scenery
Disadvantages: Prices

...Interlaken is home to breathtaking scenery, swiss army knives, cuckoo clocks and expensive prices. Towering above the town is the marvellous Schynige Platte which is a plateau with brilliant nature and views to beyond. Perhaps more notably, though are the massive three mountains which are known throughout Switzerland for their presence and dangerousness are the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. These are magnificent mountains and everywhere you go in Interlaken you will see posters, postcards, anything you could imagine which is 'advertising' these mountains. The town itself is very pretty with nice houses and shops around it. Though in moreorless every shop window in Interlaken, you will find Cuckoo clocks. The Swiss are very fond of these. Also you will find yourself being tempted to a Swiss Army knife. The only thing that might put you... Read review

...This is a great 4 star hotel in the centre of interlaken, close to all public transport including the 2 rail stations. Rail and bus travel is cheap in Switzerland. It is close to the centre of interlaken and has amazing views of the Jungfrau. It has a great restaurant and bar in the hotel as well as lovely gardens. This is a family friendly hotel with good disabled facilities. The staff offer excellent customer service and they speak french, english and german so helpful to all visitors. The hotel is central to tourist attractions in the area including the Jungfrau where you have to get a train too as well as the area where there is edelweiss flowers close by. The town has excellent facilities eg swimming. I would recommend this hotel and a visit to Interlaken.... Read review

...I stayed here with my mom for 2 nights and we truly enjoyed our stay. Before booking, we did some research online and this hotel has been ranked first place on another review website so we thought this would be our best choice. We paid CHF 130 per room per night and this rate includes breakfast. The hotel is run by Chris and Ursula and this couple is great ! They told us everything we needed to know about our stay in Interlaken and suggested us a few itineries to follow. The main highlight for our stay was the trip to Jungfraujoch and Chris told us it's best to go up via Grindelwald and down via Lauterbrunnen. He even gave us directions to restaurants and a tour route of Interlaken. Location of hotel: Interlaken is a very small town and there are many hotels near the train station. There are two train stations in Interlaken... Read review
