Balmer's has a ton of character! I really liked the different common areas for hanging out, and the kitchen was massive with lots of fridges. It's great if you want to cook your own meals. The under the bed storage bins for each person were a nice touch. Unfortunately, it did get a bit hot at night with only a non-oscillating fan. The bus stops right outside made getting around super easy. They also offer activities for guests (I didn’t join any), but it definitely had a social vibe. Overall, a great stay!
Nothing fancy. Bit hot but the fan did the work. It also helped reducing the street noise. A good place to spend couple of nights.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Our room is in attic and right across the washing area, for some reason every time the toilet flushes we can hear a loud gurgling sound in the room and there always are people talking very late at night, this is not a place for light sleeper and I did not rest well during my stay. I like the well equipped public kitchen and there is coop nearby so cooking was nice and easy.
We really enjoyed our stay at Balmers! While I would say this place is for a younger crowd, I think there is something for everyone! They have nightly events (Trivia, sunset outings, movies, etc) and are located in a great location central to everything you could need!
Our family occupied the whole room with 3 bunk beds… adequate space, no elevator. Clean toilets but no hot shower in the early morning during our stay. Staff are friendly.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Limited food options, clean facilities, friendly staff. Curfew was a bit early
Double room was very comfortable and had excellent view of Jungfrau.
Good fridge / food storage system. But kitchen was bit crowded in evenings.
Easy to walk / bus to Interlaken West and Ost
Best hostel ever. I'm very picky solo woman and i absolutely loved it. It is an experience not just a hostel. They give you a free bus pass too. It is super clean and close to things.
The owner was there when i checked out he was very kind and asked me about my experience.
