NO8 Boutique Hotel

No.8 Boutique Hotel is ideally located in the heart of Interlaken West, making it a perfect base for first-time visitors to Switzerland! The location is excellent, with nearby restaurants, shops, train stations, and bus stops all within walking distance. The hotel is beautifully situated along the Aare River, with stunning autumn foliage and picturesque surroundings that make every walk feel like a postcard. The hotel operates on a staffless, self-check-in and check-out system. It may be challenging for some guests who prefer traditional hotel assistance, but for us, it worked perfectly! The owner was very accommodating and communicated all the necessary instructions and updates through the Agoda app, so we were well-informed before arrival. The rooms are clean, sleek, and well-maintained. We also appreciated coming back from our tours to find that our bed had been made! Another lovely bonus: the owner has her own coffee and wine bar, which we definitely recommend visiting! Overall, an excellent stay, convenient location, beautiful surroundings, and thoughtful service despite the self-service setup. Highly recommended, especially for Switzerland first-timers! Definitely a 10/10! We would happily stay here again!

Good location

Overall, everything about our stay was very good, and we had an excellent experience at No. 8. First of all, the location is fantastic. It is close to the center and very convenient, yet far enough from the noise and bustle to enjoy a peaceful stay. Secondly, this is a beautiful old property that has been thoughtfully renovated. You can still feel the charm and atmosphere of a traditional Swiss home, while enjoying modern conveniences such as a dishwasher and other useful amenities. After a short while, it really starts to feel like your own home. Thirdly, everything was very clean and well maintained. We also really appreciated the generosity of the host in providing everything guests might need. The kitchen is fully equipped, even with basic essentials such as salt, pepper, oil, and many other useful items. The beds were also very comfortable, which made our stay even more enjoyable. There are, however, a few points that could be improved: The communication between Agoda and the property did not seem to be properly synchronized immediately after booking, which caused us almost three hours of difficulty and waiting during the check-in process. It would be very helpful to provide guests with a WhatsApp contact number for the host, especially since this is a self-check-in property. Having an easy way to contact someone would make resolving unexpected problems much easier. As this is an older renovated building, footsteps and noise from guests on the upper floor can sometimes be heard. Also, the staircase is rather narrow, which can be difficult when carrying large or heavy suitcases. Despite these points, we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay and truly appreciated the character, cleanliness, facilities, and thoughtful details of the property. Finally, I would like to thank our host for the hospitality and for making the accommodation feel so welcoming and homelike. Morteza From iran

Unfortunately, my stay at Hotel N08 Interlaken was a very disappointing experience, especially considering the price paid. The room was extremely small, with a tiny bathroom that felt cramped and uncomfortable. For the price of the stay, I expected a much better standard. There are many more modern apartments and accommodations in Interlaken available for around half the price, offering significantly better space and facilities. The bar/lounge area downstairs was also disappointing. It did not feel welcoming or inviting, and the overall atmosphere was not what I would expect from a hotel charging this level of room rate. The complimentary coffee voucher was also poorly thought out. When I went downstairs to use it, there was no staff readily available and it was not clear who to approach or how to redeem it. A complimentary benefit is meaningless if guests cannot easily access it. Overall, I feel the hotel is seriously overpriced for what it provides. Based on my experience, the facilities and service did not meet the standard I would expect, and the value for money was very poor. For the price paid, I would not recommend staying here. In my opinion, the overall experience was below what I would expect even from a good hostel.
