No8 Boutique Hotel - Self Check IN

Hotel is a 10-15mins walk from Interlaken West station. Surrounding has quite a number of cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops. It is also in a scenic part of Interlaken where you can see the mountains and the blue waters in the stream which makes for great photos. You can also spot para gliders too. If you walk along the lake you can reach Interlaken Ost station in about 20mins or so. Quite a nice walk along the river! The hotel itself is 3-storey. Everything is pretty much self service and there is no reception/staff around - you key in a code to enter the main entrance, and there is a desktop/tablet for you to check in yourself. There is a small luggage room for you to leave your luggage inside. There is also a small common pantry with some basic electrical appliances like kettle and fridge for guests. There is no lift and you have to carry your luggage up the spiral staircase. The room itself is small, clean and simple - just a bed, some hangers and a toilet. There is no TV. Hotel left a toblerone chocolate on the bed as a gift for us which is cute. Also found out that the owner owns a cafe around the corner (called “Spatz”) and we were given a coffee voucher which was nice. We needed some help with check in and we went to the cafe to look for the owner for help, and he kindly helped us.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Very clean & comfortable. Loved the way it was furnished and the owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Located in a great little area and close to everything. Great coffee right across the street.

The location of this hotel is fantastic. It is close to restaurants and shops and a five minute walk from bus stops. I was nervous about noise with the hotel being over a bar, but the bar was not loud, mainly with local customers. More noise came from the street itself (people walking by and horse drawn carriages), but the noise was comparable to any hotel in a European pedestrian city center. Our room was updated and the use of the kitchen was a nice plus considering how expensive food is in Switzerland. My two areas for improvement would the key card system and furnishings. The key card was tied to your phone, but every time you left the building wifi would drop so you'd need to reconnect to wifi to get the access activated again (we did not have cell service on all phones). Also, the furnishings were creative but did not have normal hotel shelves to unpack and spread out. The price was very competitive for the area and with the use of the kitchen, we paid a lot less for our total stay than if we stayed at a normal hotel. Also, there is a fantastic balcony on the top floor with beautiful views and tables to have a drink or relax. The hotel also has a luggage storage room on the first floor if you get there early and there are multiple public restrooms if are traveling with others and your room toilet is in use.
