Lake Lodge is located at a stunning spot. It provided good hospitality. The lady at the reception was lovely and helpful. Overall, a pleasant stay. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others.
- It would be good to have a full length mirror inside of the room if possible - Says the kitchen is fully equipped but only a microwave to heat food. There's no hob for communal use and that would have made life so much easy! - This is not about the Lodge per say but people can be a bit noisy and unthoughtful of the time like keeping the washing machine/dryer on outside of the recommended hours, banging doors & shifting room furniture late at night. The Lodge does provide ear buds but for those who aren't comfortable with using it can be a bit challenging!

The location is GORGEOUS! Beyond my wildest dreams to be here by that beautiful lake and mountains. The property has super friendly staff and a restaurant across the road (which is closed on Wednesdays). I left my wallet in the sheets (oops) and was already back in the town trying to catch the train, and the reception gave the wallet to the next bus. So I met the driver. Thank you so so much this saved our day 🥹
Shading a bathroom with 10 people was not fun. But I thought of it like I was at summer camp. The building is old and creepy and wooden, but again it just felt like a cabin at summer camp.

Lake Lodge Hostel was perfect for our stay in Iseltwald! The view from the balcony was absolutely stunning, and we loved having access to a clean shared bathroom and shower — everything was easy and comfortable. The laundry room and fully equipped kitchen were also really convenient and appreciated.
There were just a couple of small downsides: the floors were quite noisy, and you could hear people walking upstairs. There was also a strange smell downstairs near the kitchen. But honestly, despite those points, everything else was so great that we truly enjoyed our stay!

-view from the room was excellent, always looking forward to the morning. room was spacious, had a tap inside so u can do some light washing up in the morning. -shared toilet was clean, but have to either shower early or later to have a steady flow of hot water. -the washing machine and dryer were godsent. -counter staff was very helpful with travel advice. -common area was good for meals! bring your own heating pots as they only have a kettle and microwave to heat up food. -many places to walk to and explore around iseltwalt
not a complaint, but if you want the convenience to and fro the other major attraction(Grindelwald/Lauterbrunnen), you have to catch the right bus timing.

The staff is the best single adavantage of this hostel, you can get advice or just have a nice chat. Location is perfect: very pleasant little village on the lake shore, in the evening very quiet. Perfect base for exploration of the Alps. Adjacent bar is also very nice. Parking has sufficient capacity, no problem with that.
Ok, it's a hostel, you meet with various people here, equipment is appropriate. Kitchen is basicaly a microwave (no stove), fridge (no freezer) and sink. Floors are kind of noisy. If you don't have a car, the location may seem a bit isolated.

Brilliant location for staying with friends. We had a car and found it brilliant. Definitely glad we stayed there instead of interlaken. A stone throw from the lake. Swimming every morning at 8am.
There is no AC and this is the only thing that it was missing. Everything else was perfect for a group of lads sharing a 6 bed room. Even a fan would make this place perfect. We did know it had no AC so its not a complaint but just a comment.

A great place to stay that has a room like a hotel, but the shared things you'd find in a hostel. Downstairs there is a kitchen and lounge area as well as a nice seating place in front. The hotel is right on the water, great views but a bit cold to swim (November). There is a shared bathroom in the hallway and also some more to use downstairs. Big parking lot in the back for your car, or there is a bus into Interlaken about every hour, depending on the season. It doesn't run often or late in the evening so make sure to check the schedule. Free bus pass is provided as well as coupons for activities. Wifi works on the top floor. Friendly staff.

Beautiful location - right opposite the lake. The most convenient was the bus service to interlaken ost. That ensured that staying in Iseltwald was smooth since all our trains and crusade stayed from there. We were a group of 6 and we got the entire room to ourselves. And although we didn’t have a private bathroom, it wasn’t inconvenient. The staff was really friendly - smooth check in and check out process and they arranged the travel passes for us.
Maybe a toaster would help in the common kitchen space and the rooms are a little dark so extra lighting would be a plus. There are no buses after 8.05 so travel could get a lil tricky then.

It was a smaller room (got a corner room the previous day which was spacious, this one not so much), although value for money of course. Host helped us with early checkin as we were shifting rooms Easy parking access Lovely lake view from the balcony, one of the best views It's well managed, the common dining hall, shared fridge - is all good and was very useful for our stay
Room size was a bit too small

Very practical and clean hostel woth everything you need and very helpful and kind staff.
Given the walls and floor are of wood, you hear a lot the other clients of the hostel. We were woken up multiple times by rude clients that did not care nor respect for others sleep and made a lot of noise for an hour at 5 in the morning. The second night, the kids of another family kept running around all morning from 6 AM in the corridors and the parents never cared to tell them to calm down. I know this isn’t the hostels fault and there are earplugs given to help you sleep, but be aware that you can’t really control who sleeps with you in the hostel and that some clients may be rude so don’t expect to catch up on sleep there.
