What guests think

At Historic Hotel Steinbock, travellers highlight clean, characterful rooms and a peaceful riverside setting near the train, with scenic views and easy access to Interlaken, alongside consistently praised breakfasts and a charming, historic, family-run atmosphere.

Service feedback is mixed, with several reports of unfriendly or strict management, limited reception hours and confusing entry, while others describe kind, helpful hosts. Rooms can feel small and warm without AC, with dim bathrooms or awkward showers in some older units; occasional musty smells and the nearby church bells at night are mentioned. Parking is available (sometimes paid), the area is quiet with few dining options, and public transport is close though late-night options are limited. Expect a simple, historic stay in a scenic, convenient spot.

This property is in a nice quiet spot with parking and continental breakfast. Bedroom was adequate, comfy big bed although only a shower in the bath, not able to stand up in shower. Easy walking distance of the village and train station. Wish we had more time to explore the area and would have happily have stayed longer if we were able to.

Hotel razoável. Tem uma igreja ao lado que o sino toca a cada 15 minutos, inclusive de madrugada. Paga-se CH 5.00 pelo estacionamento em frente o local. O checkout as 10 AM também não é bom. Café da manhã honesto.

Helt greit sted. Gammelt bygg som ligger litt etter med vedlikehold. Grei parkering og helt ok frokost. Kort vei å gå til jernbane og gratis tog til Interlaken. Stille og rolig område, bortsett fra kirkeklokken som slo hvert 15. minutt

This hotel was only a 3 minute walk to the train. If you do have a car, parking here is very convenient. Our room was in front of the river running past and next door to the church. It was a great place for sleeping and the beds and room were very comfortable. Breakfast was good. There is NO interaction with the owners, you just come and go with your key.

I would highly recommend staying here if you are planning a trip to Interlaken.

We were never greeted on check in or during our 2 day stay. Staff were very unwelcoming. The bathroom shower drain was extremely slow causing water buildup, the light level was very poor, the door wouldn’t close properly, and the shower head was broken. The 2 chairs in the room were very musty and VERY uncomfortable. However, the breakfast was good. Bottom line — we would neither recommend this hotel or ever stay here again.

I’m pretty sure this is a family ran hotel. First, you open the door and get a musty smell in the air. Next, you go up the stairs into your room and there’s no AC, there isn’t even a screen window and there are lots of mosquitoes. At night you’ll be sweating because of the humid heat. Also, the boss has a really bad attitude. This was the worst hotel we’ve ever stayed at in our 20 days in Europe. It's very frustrating.

Yes, the room was spotless, the front view from the room of the running brook and the sound of serenity were unmatched. The church-view on the other side and periodical chiming of church bells made the stay surreal. Beautiful boutique hotel, well maintained and run by a family with superb connectivity and just few minutes away to Interlaken city-centre, with an awesome array of breakfast. Just a wonderful experience of a lifetime, backdrop of the Swiss Alps with picture post-card look. 100% recommended for a memorable stay.

The hotel location is excellent, especially if you have a river view room. There are limited to no shopping/ food options so the included breakfast was super helpful. The train station is a short walk away so it was easy to travel to the central Interlaken ost station in ~6 mins. The room was tiny and the bathroom didn't feel well ventilated despite having a ventilator. Probably an artefact of being an older stone-ish building.

Good location for our Interlaken visit. Short walk to the railway station. Breakfast was nice to get the day started. Rooms needed additional lighting and extra electrical outlets (especially one in the bathroom) would be nice. Tried to bring the lighting issue to managements attention but didn’t ever see someone to talk with during our 5 day visit.

My wife and I recently stayed at Historic Hotel Steinbock and were charmed by the antiquated decor, soothing river sounds, and bell chimes. The onsite staff were polite and helpful. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experiences ended. From the outset, communication was unnecessarily confrontational. Despite having paid the required fees listed on my Expedia booking confirmation, I was harassed multiple times regarding an additional CHF 7 tourist tax. This tax was never mentioned in any of my booking confirmations, yet the manager insisted on it with an unprofessional and an aggressive tone. Furthermore, the handling of my complaint about the hotel's towel policy was appalling. Instead of addressing my concerns respectfully, I was rudely reprimanded and asked pay additional CHF 10 for new towels. This hostile approach is completely unacceptable. The manager even threatened to deny my wife and I breakfast and force an early departure if the CHF 7 was not paid immediately. Such threats create a hostile environment for guests. To make matters worse, the manager’s final message included nonsensical text, which indicates a lack of seriousness and professionalism in handling guest communications. Overall, my experience was marred by unprofessionalism and a lack of basic customer service skills. I strongly advise future guests to reconsider staying at this establishment until significant improvements are made. Sincerely, Romin Parekh

Very quiet, safe, beautiful neighbourhood! Must see neighbourhood in this area. Would stay again. Difficult to figure out how to check in initially, as the front door was locked and no entry instructions were left in the booking; but pressed an intercom button and was let in. Reception desk has limited hours, however there is a phone available at the desk to call a staff member to the desk, usually only takes a minute or two for this, so is still super convenient and easy! Wifi was good, bed was comfortable, shower had good pressure. Gorgeous building, very neat place to stay. Staff were friendly. Breakfast included, and was delicious, coffee as well. Close to train station, 2 stops (5 mins) into town, or a 30 minute walk. Such a gorgeous area, highly recommend. I totally would stay here again if in the area! And would recommend anyone to stay here too :)!

L'hébergement n'a rien d'exceptionnel. Ça sent le vieux. Le petit déjeuner était très bon et très copieux. Le couple était très serviable et gentil pendant ce moment de petit déjeuner. Par contre, on se sent opprimé et menacé avec tous les avertissements affichés dans l'hôtel. Les menaces si on salit les serviettes, si on détériore telle ou telle chose. Les pénalités si on fait un check out trop tard avec une pénalité de 5 CHF par minute dépassée. C'est dommage, je pense qu'il est inutile d'être aussi menaçant, ça ne crée pas une atmosphère de bienvenue.
