The room was dark, stuffy, and out-dated. In an active heatwave, the room was unbearable to sleep in. The free Toblerones that were provided melted in the room before we got in. We asked for an extra fan but were told none were available. The bathroom was small and had poor water pressure. Amenities were basically non-existent. The lack of a mini fridge/mini bar was troubling, and even though our room was above the wet bar, it was never open and we could not ask for ice cubes to get through the heat wave. We also called the reception for extra facial tissues and toilet paper, and received a response that someone would be up shortly — no one ever showed. The bedsheets felt unclean, and we found “black specks” on the duvets that we did not use due to the heat. A large portion of the TV channels were unavailable. We were told by the receptionist at check in that breakfast is available from 6 AM to 10 AM. However, when we showed up at 6:10 AM, nothing was set up, so we never got to enjoy the breakfast to properly rate it. Reception was overall unhelpful. The only positive thing that comes to mind is that it had somewhat of a stable wifi, which we did not even get to use a lot of. Lastly, CHF 40 (approx. USD 50) was being charged for 45 mins late check out (11:45am).

loved the design of the hotel, the rooms were clean, and they had all the necessities. The staff was very polite. However, the room had no elevator or ramp to get the suitcases to the 3rd floor, so we had to carry them up the stairs from the second to the third floor. The room was extremely hot, and it had a very small fan that barely worked. There was nowhere (except the bar) to get cold water to drink. No mini bar, and the drink machine had no water, and was actually empty. Some ice machine, or cold water, would have been nice, considering the weather was very hot.

This little gem of a hotel was perfect for a stay in Interlaken. It’s a short walk from the Interlaken West train station and close to everything! Only downside is it was hot and there is no AC … but if you want an authentic alps experience it’s worth it!

I stayed at Hotel Chalet Swiss for two nights and was extremely disappointed. The room felt like a matchbox—cramped, with no wardrobe or storage space, and the tiny balcony was covered in cobwebs. The bathroom was so small you can barely turn around, let alone shower comfortably. To make matters worse, the window in my room wouldn’t close properly. When I called reception, a staff member responded rudely, lecturing me about how windows in Switzerland are supposed to open before admitting mine only opened one way—information that didn’t improve the situation. Breakfast was equally underwhelming, with very limited options and low-quality offerings. Between the cramped quarters, unhelpful staff, and subpar breakfast, I cannot recommend this hotel.
