A Disappointing Christmas 2024

It was not appropriate to put me a 55 year old Male in a room with three teenage females. They did not like being with an older male in the room. Just not appropriate. I feel that guests of Youth Hostel Interlaken are very easily pleased because this Hostel is old, dated, not 100% clean. Shower areas unclean. Dirty clothes left in the passage. Lack of staff. Reception and Bar area, left unattended at night, you can steal whatever you want. Didn't think the building was very safe. Water pressure of showers is too low and no shower gel provided.

Close to train station

Close to the train station which was very convenient because it was our base for travels within the Jungfrau region. Breakfast was included but it was the same menu every day. Food at the restaurant was fresh as it was made to order infront of you. I reserved a double room for two people for 4 nights. Room was soacious however it was very basic. No hair dryer. You have to pay for towels aside from what they provided on check in. No face towels or hand towels. For the room price, i think it should be provided for free. No housekeeping, you have to take off your comforter and pillow case at check out. The room curtain and bathroom curtain was so sheer and does not provide privacy.
