Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is very convenient to Interlaken West station and a number of dining and shopping options, including a COOP right next door. Breakfast was good and the rooms were adequate. But the facility as a whole, acknowledging that it is a historic building, is very run down. Worn carpeting, dents, cracks and chips in walls and trim work, peeling and in some cases moldy wall paper and paint, and outdated furnishings and electrical service. No AC but room fans which help in summer. Did not visit bars but their hours appeared ‘fluid’. They do sit next to the river so when they are open, perhaps the setting is okay. To be fair, there is ongoing construction on the facade and a common bath off dining area so perhaps improvement is coming. In summary, a convenient stay if you’re not fussy and don’t plan on hanging out in the hotel (and why would you, you’re in Interlaken).

The property has a great view and is very convenient. It’s a landmark hotel and is the first hotel in Interlaken. Take this at face value. There’s no a/c, I blew the circuit with a euro-friendly hairdryer, there were wires hanging out of the wall next to our room, and our bathroom ceiling started leaking around 11pm. We told reception and her response was “they must have flooded the bathroom upstairs.” She offered us different rooms but it was too late to switch. We had a nice balcony but it did not make up for the gross breakfast. It was really not good. A very stale hotel. Ants and flies were not helpful either.

Great location. Super close to Interlaken West.

Central Continental hotel is in a great location. Maybe a 2-min walk to the Interlaken West Train station. Our room was super spacious. We had 2 balconies, and both got great sunlight during the day. It was great having coffee out there on a crisp morning. The beds were comfortable. The pillows were too soft for me but my daughter loved it and she slept well on one of the twin beds. The breakfast was good. Mostly pastries, some cereal options and they had hard-boiled eggs and hotdogs. Plenty of options for even a picky kid. We had a great stay at Central Continental hotel. We highly recommend it if you want to walk everywhere or want to be close to a train station.

Great location, old, tired hotel. Much needed remodel appears to be in progress. Breakfast was okay. We had never seen boiled eggs served cut in half still in the shell. A pain to eat. Bathroom had packets of body/hair wash, which was difficult. Room was clean and location is fantastic.

We had a lovely balcony & view from our room, looking out onto the gorgeous lake. Our room was spacious however, lacked a cosy feel, very outdated. We had breakfast included, but didn’t use it. We sat downstairs for it one day, was no greeted by any member of staff, lots of tables still had plates/cups that had been used on. Not a wide variety of food and what was there, didn’t look very appealing. We had some juice & got a pastry from local shop down the road. The view and balcony was mostly the only reason I booked the room! Very close to the train station which is also ideal! Just lacks the personal touches, and cosy feel to the room.

Value for money with friendly and helpful staff in a great location close to amenities bus and train station. Lovely building and no extra cost for balcony as renovations are ongoing inside during short window of opportunity between seasons meaning had scaffolding outside. No working extractor in bathrooms and warnings about costly penalties should smoke/fire alarm be triggered seemed a bit extreme in circumstances. Breakfast buffet area was very well stocked but very short on space with both staff and guests accessing stations from the same point/side. Cramped seating, I really don't want to hear other guests chewing their food in the seat beside me.
