Hotels near The Mad Cow, Interlaken

The hotel is in a good location, very close to Interlaken West Station, with many shops and restaurants downstairs. The river is just below the balcony, and the scenery is picturesque. The breakfast is also very rich.

Nice hotel because it had a great location ! So easy to find and near interlaken west station. If you take bus from interlaken ost station, it only takes me 5 minutes get to the hotel. At the same time, supermarket coop, Migrolino and tourist information centre also takes 1-2mins can be arrived. Many restaurants and souvenirs shops nearby. Staffs are nice and talkative 😃 Room is clean and big enough to open two luggage at the same time. Electric kettle was provided. The minor thing is that there is no view outside the window. And the other thing is no toothpaste or toothbrush will be provided. I would recommend for the people who are in budget or with big luggage.

We stay here for 4 nights with a group of friends. It is not far from Interlaken West station (lee than 10 minutes walk) It has nice room, comfy bed but a little soft and fluffly pillow. The location is quite good, near supermarket and restaurants. Nice staff. Very good breakfast. It provide a lot of amenities with 2 bottles of mineral water everyday. Also have common room for guest's leisure and have some snacks.

I was really worried about how good this place is because of the reviews I read, I also thought the room will be too small like London hoyel rooms. Yo my surprise the hotel is Amazing and the standard room size is perfect for one or two people. Bed is very comfy. Also the air conditioning works perfectly fine, I live in a region with cooling is critical and I absolutely liked the room temperature although air conditioning is a real issue in Europe. They have Ritual products in the bathroom, and you can connect your netflix to the TV. Breakfast is very good, hotel has access door direct on train platform (this is amazing) . Staff are professional and pleasant. I looked around other properties in Interlaken East and West, they are mostly tired, cheap looking hotels, the Dorint is a 3 star but my experience is rather 4 star standard. I absolutely recommend it. Don't look elsewhere.

This little hotel was in the middle of Interlaken it was great, the young gentleman on reception was lovely snd spoke great English, he interacted and said hello everytime he saw us. The hotel gives you a bus pass which is great. The room was spotlessly clean, the shower was powerful snd refreshing, the beds were so comfortable matress, duvet, and pillow. We would 100% stay here again.

Our stay here when traveling from the U.S. was perfect. We received a complimentary upgrade to a suite, which was breathtaking. The location can’t be beat, with stunning views of Jungfrau, right in the heart of the main entertainment area, and walkable with luggage to either rail station. (Interlaken West a better walk because there was construction to and from Ost) the staff were friendly and attentive to every detail from check-in to check out. Just a flawless experience at a lovely, clean, well appointed hotel.

Interlaken is a beautiful, quaint little town and the Stella hotel is in a great location close to the Interlaken West train station and near the landing field for paragliding, both of which were great for us. Our room had a stunning view of the mountains! The breakfast was so good with fresh croissants and fruit and a self serve omelette station and espresso machine as well as bacon, sausage and scrambled eggs. The breakfast room is lovely and Jean, the food manager on most days we were there, is a gem. So attentive and sweet. Astrid at the front desk was helpful too. My husband used the small workout area and pool which has glass all around with a lovely view. Our main disappointments were with our room. Though spacious, it was very dated with exposed metal rods supporting shelving and random furniture and an old lamp in the seating area…Not like the website photos. The biggest functional issue is there is no AC. Because it was unseasonably warm for October, we had to leave the glass doors open and could hear all the street noise early in the morning when we were trying to sleep. We requested a fan for white noise (thank you, Astrid) and that helped some. I can’t imagine staying there when it’s warmer. With that said, we were not in our room except to sleep so we still enjoyed all the positives of the food, location and helpful staff.

A memorable stay! The dreamy rooms with view of the virgin, just world class! We are deeply impressed - the friendliness and friendliness of the staff – This is no longer obvious today. The new, with much love designed rooms and rooms, the details throughout the house, the flower splendour – unique. Kitchen and service were excellent. We wish the entire team many happy guests. We will come back!

Hotel is well located nearer to Interlaken Ost station (bit of walking expected). Be sure to have luggage that have wheels. Ameneties are available for bathtub and shower if staying in the junior suite. Lovely view of the nearby mountains and paragliders who r landing. Easy walking distance to restaurants/shops nearby for food, souvenirs and shopping.

My pre-requisite for booking any Interlaken hotel for our stay was a minimum 4 star, sauna and a double bed. I love saunas and for me after my daily exercise program a hot sauna is perfect to relax! Your reception staff were excellent on arrival. When I enquired about the sauna, she explained that as long as I notify reception, I can request a sauna at any time. On day one I had a fabulous 86-degree sauna at 7.30am, it was great to have a “proper” heater and not the infra-red heater that are so common nowadays and to relax afterwards in your solarium area. The only comment was the glass door is a real struggle to close and requires attention. On day 2, at around 5.30pm I went to reception to request a 6.30 am sauna the following morning, the male receptionist was attending to a customer. Whilst I was happy to wait , one of his colleagues , the porter asked if he could help me. I explained that I wished to have a sauna the following morning at 6.30 .. He said he would ensure a message was left for the sauna to be ready for me. At 6.30 the following morning I proceeded to the sauna and wellness area to find a cold sauna. The ”double bed” in 101 is shocking- It is 2 single beds pushed together with a double sheet over the top of the two singles. There was a huge depression between the two beds . The bed looks like a roller coaster ! So much for a double bed to snuggle up to my wife in bed ☹ Breakfast overall was very good. The selection is amazing , the fresh fruit, fresh fruit juice, and much more ..it did have the wow factor however the bacon and sausage were sat in a pool of fat or oil. (Many of the better hotels tend to put a few slices of bread under the bacon and sausage to soak the excess fat or oil up.) 10/10 for the fabulous Christmas decorations ! I do make a point of reviewing any place that delivers exceptional customer service as much as those that disappoint.
