The Stella Swiss Quality Hotel stands at General-Guisan-Strasse 2, a few streets from the Höheweg, on the western side of the town centre. It is a four-star hotel with six types of room, from a simple double with a small bed to a spacious rooftop room and large rooms for up to four people, so it works for couples, families and solo travellers alike. A free breakfast buffet is part of the stay, which is unusual for the price, and so is free self parking, with an electric car charging station. There is a terrace and a garden, free Wi-Fi in the rooms, laundry facilities, bicycle parking and a desk that helps with tours and tickets. Rooms have a flat-screen television, a safe and a kettle, and bathrooms have a bath or a shower. The Höhematte is about two minutes away and the Höheweg about three, so the main sights are close.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the heart of town but a little away from the main promenade, which keeps it quieter than some of its neighbours. The Kunsthaus is three minutes on foot, the casino nine, and Interlaken West station about seven, with the West ferry terminal around ten.
Interlaken Ost, where the trains for the Jungfrau region leave, is reached by a short train ride or a longer walk along the river. The free parking is a real advantage if you are driving to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen or the passes, and the car-charging point helps electric-car drivers.
Rooms and facilities
Ask for the room type that fits your group, since sizes vary a good deal, and consider the rooftop room if you want more space and a higher view. Dogs are accepted for a nightly fee, and service animals are exempt. Check-in runs into the evening and check-out is late-morning, which is helpful if you are catching a midday train. Free cancellation is offered on some rates but not all, so compare options before you pay. The breakfast buffet is a good start before a long day on the mountain.
Who it suits
Families, drivers, budget-minded couples and anyone who wants a comfortable mid-range base with breakfast and parking covered. It is a sensible choice for a week of day trips because you can leave the car and use the trains, and the savings on breakfast and parking add up. It does not have a spa or a lake view, so choose a grander hotel if those matter. Compare dates, since rates are often lower outside the peak summer weeks and ski holidays.
