Nice modern hotel. It’s directly beside the train station. So if you exit from the right train door, the hotel entrance is directly in front of you. The view from the room was nice too. Staff was friendly.

Hotel is conveniently located inside the Interlaken West train station! Our room was located right next to the tracks but we could barely hear trains go by! We were so impressed with their soundproofing system! Hotel breakfast was great too! We also enjoyed the river view beyond the train tracks that you can see through a wall sized window! They also provide a free local transportation pass that you can use for buses, trains, etc. I highly recommend this hotel!

I did not enjoy my stay in essential by dorint interlaken. Our children's room aircon was not working our whole stay and when we complained, they gave us an electric fan. Also, our own room has ac but it was not cold at all. The only good about this hotel is the train stops right outside the hotel so its very convenient.

Hotel ok apart from the view from our patio which was a wall with large metalwork structure on top not the beautiful view advertised. I wish I had taken photo but didn’t as I was so disappointed at the time. I have given feedback to hotel that this is a misrepresentation but they just said thank you for your feedback.

The stay was nice, the hotel is really clean. I’d say it’s much better for short business trips or short stays overall. Not much to do in the hotel, would be better if they had amenities like gym, spa, pool etc. I think a little over priced considering there is just breakfast and room

Right by the train station and convenient to everything but still very quiet and warm. Well laid out rooms and a great shower. We also really enjoyed the breakfast, very tasty and a good kick start for the day!

Upgraded to a suite with a balcony. Two balcony tiles were not installed and moved when stepped on. We notified reception, who advised they were already aware. The room and set up shown is not accurate. The ad reflects the bed in a room with great water views, which is actually a sitting room in the suite we received. Our bedroom was a view on on one side and overlooking other rooms and hotel exterior walls on the other. Very expensive quite upgrade, not worth the cost for the lack of view or overall. It is convenient, directly located at the train station.

I had a great stay at Essential by Dorint Interlaken. Near train station makes travel easy and modern clean room is a plus. Breakfast was good and friendly staff added to the experience. What makes it unique it is conveniently located near shops, supermarket and restaurants. Some rooms have limited views and bit too warm but overall it is worth staying. Would surely recommend.

Great location right by the Interlaken West Train station. My room was too hot, couldn’t lower the temperature any more. The room itself was good, had everything that you would need. Breakfast was very good.
