Grand Hotel Beau Rivage Interlaken
Interlaken City Center Interlaken|0.26km from Hoheweg
Usually when you think of the term ”tourist trap” you think of a restaurant or an excursion of some sort. In this case, it's a hotel. This hotel is well-situated in the heart of Interlaken (the city of which is in itself a tourist trap but that's a different review). It also has a nice name and a regal exterior. It unsurprisingly seems to attract a lot of guests (myself included) as a result. I certainly regret staying here. I spent three nights here with my wife amidst a warm week in the area. Some of the highlights: - unbelievably old rooms with old, smelly carpets and dirty, peeling wallpaper - no air conditioning, simply a cheap plastic fan stocked in the closet of every room - very shoddy cleaning service in which clothes are left lying on the floor, coffee pods are not replenished...really not much is done aside from making the bed - very condescending front desk staff, namely one gentleman in particular who was unfortunately not wearing a name tag - kind and hard working breakfast staff at the restaurant which is unfortunately quite understaffed It was strange that in just three days at the hotel we noticed a very large number of visibly dissatisfied guests. All in all I recommend not staying here.
