Gasthof Bären

What guests think

Gasthof Bären delights travelers with warm, attentive hosts, very clean rooms, and a charming alpine setting above Interlaken, where many praise the beautiful views, satisfying breakfast and restaurant, and the calm, village atmosphere away from crowds.

The bus stop is right outside and access to Interlaken is easy by day, but multiple guests warn that evening buses end early, so plan transport or consider driving; parking onsite is straightforward. Room styles range from simple to modern and spacious with great views; a number of rooms use shared bathrooms, there is no elevator, and a few note thin walls, creaky floors, or occasional noise near shared terraces. Expect a peaceful, clean, well-run stay in a scenic village with genuinely friendly service.

This is not in Interlaken. This is about 4 miles outside of Interlaken. To get there you get off the train at Interlaken West and then catch bus 106 to Habkern Post. The bus times can be found on the SBB app. Last bus runs about 7pm, don’t miss it or the taxi will run you about $47 Swiss Francs. This is an old Chalet being run by a sweet young couple. It needs renovation but they are wonderful and it is very clean. I did not enjoy the shared bath but shame on me for not paying attention to what I was booking. But even being a shared bath, it was very clean. They have a restaurant on the lower level and the food was great! We arrived late and they still offered to feed us. Breakfast in the morning was very adequate and they make the coffee for you which was a nice treat. The location is quaint!! There is a bakery across the street and the pastries are delicious! Such a beautiful little town. Highly recommend the view. And if you are lucky, at 8pm the church bells ring across the hill. So beautiful!

Dejligt bjerghotel med FANTASTISK smuk beliggenhed. Sengene var ikke så gode - for bløde til mig - og der var ikke eget toilet og bad, hvilket trækker lidt ned. Nu var jeg der udenfor sæsonen, og vi var de eneste på hotellet, så vi havde toilet og bad for os selv. Fantastisk venlig betjening, og med egen restaurant.

I think it is in the owner's plan to redo the bathrooms soon. Location was good for Interlaken area, but in a quiet area instead of busy city. We would stay here again.

The staff there was absolutely amazing and nice, I can not stress that enough. The breakfast, even though simple, was very delicious and had enough variety, especially the jam and fresh bread were great. Location is fine, a little out of the way, a car is kinda necessary. Our room was nice and clean, the view was great, however, for tall people absolutely inconvenient. I cannot count how often we hit our heads at the doorframe to the tiny bathroom, as well as literally touching the ceiling with our heads while taking a shower. The bed was technically comfortable but the two mattresses kept sliding apart during the night and it’s too short for tall people. The biggest issue for us was the common balcony right in front of our window. While it’s nice to have a common balcony for everyone, it’s horrible if you’re trying to sleep and there are 4 or more people right in front of your window laughing and drinking. That said, definitely go check out the little bakery across the street, the baked goods were phenomenal. The hotel gives you a guest card, which gives you free transport with the bus, but check the timetable ahead since the last bus back goes pretty early.

It was a long winding road to get to and from but it was worth the drive up. Lots of parking available. There is a great cafe next door with another great human who owns it as well.

Carina was a gracious and friendly hostess. Habkern off the beaten path, but convenient both to drive and to take the bus. We highly recommend it!

I think a positive stay at this hotel depends a lot on your room assignment and the other guests being respectful of the posted hours. Our room was directly next to the shared terrace, and we slept horribly. It was hot in the room with no fans, but guests were outside our window and in the apartment a story up until very late, and then others were outside early in the morning. We did open the windows for a few hours and that was more pleasant. Overall, it was a pleasant hotel but very sparse and small. My daughter opted to sleep on the floor over the bed as she was too tall. The owners were very kind and the village of Habkern is lovely. We were surprised at our experience given all the other rave reviews, so we figured it was just the room we got that was not great.

My mom and I really enjoyed our stay here! Very cute and clean place, and the view is exactly what I would imagine Switzerland would be like. I really loved unwinding in a quieter area compared to interlaken, where you’d just wake up to shops. The bus also stops right out the front of the hotel! The frequency was lesser but it didn’t bother us one bit :) The staff here is also very friendly, they are generally very accommodating and I love that they offer to pack your breakfast box if you have to leave early for your day!
