Super Location
Hotel is located just in front of the Interlaken West train station. It was a surprise to us when we found that the entrance to the hotel is just 10m from the train when we alighted. It’s a good choice to stay here for few days when you make your trip in and out to the different Alps in the vicinity.

Quiet comfort, excellent staff and tasty breakfast
The Essential was a great place to stay right along the Interlaken West train stop, literally out the back door. With the door closed however, we couldn't even hear the trains stopping. Excellent rooms and breakfast as well. This isn't a cheap place to stay but well worth the money when you need a quiet and comfortable place to recharge after active days in the mountains.

Its actually on the interlaken West stn which was so convenient to catch train or bus. Breakfast was delicious with options of breads, fruits, cheese. We booked Essential Zimmer room. They provided with interior view so nothing to see from the window. No Fridge in hotel. Overall the staff was helpful and location made things simple. Migros is next to hotel. Coop is 5mins walk. Good restaurants are 10mins walk.

The parking is not obvious and you can end up searching for a parking space to check in and then get access to the car park. Very central to Interlaken though as the hotel backs onto the railway station which you cannot hear - good insulation

Very easily accessible to the train and walking distance to dining and shopping. Thought there may be some noise from the trains but was super quiet we were very pleased. Rooms were modern and nicely appointed. Staff was friendly.

This property is right next to Interlaken West station - perfect if that is how you are travelling! It’s a 5 min walk into town and to most attractions in Interlaken. Really great location! The staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly. The breakfast is fantastic, so many options and good coffee. A fabulous hotel!

Seems like a new property and location is right at the train station. Seemed to have staff in training (but no identification to state so) and other more experienced staff just lurking around and not helping/assisting
