ホテル セントラル コンチネンタル

good location

Breakfast was so so.

We had an amazing stay in Interlaken! The hotel has a breathtaking view of the mountains, and waking up to the beautiful Alps every morning was truly unforgettable. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the Alps, making it easy to explore the area and enjoy the incredible scenery. The breakfast included each morning was delicious, with a great variety of options to start the day before heading out on our adventures. The staff was welcoming, and the hotel was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Interlaken. If you’re looking for stunning views, a great location, and a wonderful overall experience, this is the perfect place!

It’s a historic building, and the reception hall has a beautiful historic aesthetic. The building has preserved its historic authenticity as well as possible while still functioning as a modern hotel. To my knowledge, almost every room has a balcony, although some rooms share connected balcony areas. So, just in case, don’t leave your balcony door open if you are leaving for the day. The views are amazing, and you can enjoy them while relaxing at the table on the balcony overlooking the river. I must admit, after a long day of sightseeing, it felt refreshing to relax on the balcony with a cold drink and a light snack. A light summer breeze, a mountain view, and a river running quietly at what feels like an arm’s reach. It really added character to the entire Interlaken experience.

Compared with the photos shown on their page, it felt like we were given the least renovated room at the Central Continental Hotel — almost as if we got the leftovers that nobody had wanted for the last 30 years. The room was tiny. It was listed as a twin room, and I had specifically requested twin beds. However, the two single beds were pushed close together, and the headboard did not properly align with them, making the setup feel awkward and poorly planned. The table was extremely narrow, with only one basic wooden chair placed between the bed and the table. There was an armchair in the corner, but that did not make the room feel any more practical. Two slim people had to let each other pass just to get to opposite sides of the room. I had to do hula-hoop moves between the table, the bed, and the balcony door whenever I wanted to go out onto the balcony. The room we were given should not be used for two people. It is only big enough for one single bed and one guest.

The location is excellent and very convenient. I also appreciated the historic character of the hotel.

The hotel needs some updating. I understand it is a historic hotel, but a few improvements would make a big difference, especially new mattresses, chairs, bed linens, and fresh paint in the rooms.
