Sleeping beside the train

The Interlaken hostel is next to Interlaken Ost station, where the trains to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and the Jungfraujoch leave from, along with the boats on Lake Brienz. There is no more practical place to stay if you are travelling without a car: step off the train from Zurich or Geneva, cross over and drop your rucksack. From the building you can see the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau.

It is a modern building with 220 beds, in dormitories of four beds or more, double rooms, family rooms with a balcony and a few accessible rooms. Breakfast is included.
