Hotel Bernerhof stands at Bahnhofstrasse 16, a two-minute walk from Interlaken West station, which makes it one of the most convenient hotels in town for anyone arriving by train. It is a three-star hotel with five room types, from singles and twins to triples and quadruples, so it can take a couple or a family of four. A free breakfast buffet is part of the stay, and there is free Wi-Fi in the rooms, a terrace, laundry facilities, luggage storage, free newspapers, a lift and multilingual staff. Rooms have a safe, a kettle, a television with international channels and, in many cases, a balcony, and the bathrooms have heated floors, which is welcome after a day in the snow. Shops, a cash machine and supermarkets are right next door, and the Höheweg, the Kunsthaus and the Höhematte are all within about six minutes on foot.
Location and getting around
Bahnhofstrasse is the town's shopping street, so you step out of the hotel into cafes, bakeries and a supermarket, and the station is behind you. West station has direct trains to Bern and Zurich, and a change at Ost or a short ride takes you to the Jungfrau region. The Mystery Rooms and the Höheweg are about five minutes away, the Höhematte about six and the casino around thirteen. If you are driving, self parking is available for a modest nightly fee, though spaces are limited, so ask when you book.
Rooms and facilities
Heated bathroom floors, balconies and a room away from the road are the details worth asking about when you book, and it helps to say who is travelling so you are given the right room type. Check-in ends in the evening and after-hours arrival is not available, so confirm the time if your train is late.
Early check-in and late check-out carry a fee and depend on availability. Pets are not accepted apart from service animals, and the premises are smoke free. Free cancellation is offered on some rates but not all, so compare the options before you pay, and look at the total once any local taxes are added at the hotel.
Who it suits
Rail travellers, families, solo visitors and budget-minded couples who want a clean, central hotel with breakfast included. It is a place to sleep and refuel between mountain days rather than a destination in itself, and the savings on breakfast and the walk to the station are the selling points. It lacks a restaurant, a spa and mountain views from most rooms, so choose a promenade hotel if those matter. Street-side rooms can be noisy on summer evenings, so ask for a room away from the road.
