Essential by Dorint Interlaken
Excellent range of breakfasts. Views from 4th floor rooms are stunning. Brilliant location right next to the station, which cannot be heard. Regular trains in all directions. Be aware that the Swiss have a different plug socket to the rest of Europe.

Hotel Regina Wengen
The hotel is old and outdated. For example there was one electrical outlet in the room. It was difficult to charge phones and watches.

The Guesthouse by the Hey Hotel
Great modest hotel affiliated with a larger full hotel. Big room, comfy bed, very close to the West train. We also had daily breakfast—nice buffet with a great selection, a little different each morning. It was awesome!!

The Hey Hotel
Nice hotel but it caters more to groups. A lot of busses with groups of people. At breakfast the room was very busy. The best part was the location- close to busses and trains.
