Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Essential by Dorint Interlaken enjoys an amazing location right next to Interlaken West station, which many guests find incredibly convenient, especially for train travel, and a Coop grocery store is just across the street. The rooms are generally considered spacious, some even featuring balconies, and are equipped with amenities like a coffee machine. The breakfast is a highlight, with a wide variety of options. While most appreciate the modern design and soundproof windows ensuring a quiet stay, a few guests have mentioned that the rooms can feel a bit small, with limited space for luggage in double rooms.

great location train station many choices clean room dusty room air conditioner impolite staff uncomfortable feeling
The hotel has a great location near the train station. It is so convenient for getting around. The breakfast had many choices and it was delicious. I also enjoyed the clean and spacious room.
My room was quite dusty. I think the air conditioner filters need to be changed. I woke up each morning sneezing because of it.

convenient stay

wide selection kind staff comfy bed
the hotel is next to the train station (very handy!). breakfast had a wide selection and the staff were cheerful and kind. my room was quiet plus the bed was comfy. there were restaurants, shops, and a grocery store steps away.
i found dust in my room, especially noticeable because i have allergies. the cleaning wasn't thorough, and i had to remind the reception about it.

the modern room included a tv with international channels and free wifi access, ensuring entertainment and connectivity. the soundproofing system worked well, i barely heard any noise from nearby train tracks. a coffee maker was also available.

I loved the breakfast , it offered a really nice selection , and the cappuccino was excellent. the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout my stay , especially at the reception. the hotel's soundproofing system impressed me. I barely heard any train noise even though my room was near the tracks.
during my stay, the hotel lacked luggage assistance, i think the hotel should add luggage assistance. it would improve the arrival experience with heavy bags.
