The Alps at 12000 Feet!
After travelling through Budapest and Prague, it was quite difficult coming to terms with the prices in Switzerland: You can expect to pay two to three times what we'd pay in Canada. We tried to keep our expenses to a minimum; fruit and pre-packed grocery store meals were a staple. The afternoon was spent relaxing by Lake Zurich where people could …
Peaceful, lively and FUN
Getting to the aeroport from the city takes a long time due to the slow renfe train. We thought that we will be extremely late and ran all the way to T2. In the end, there are still people snailing in for check in after 1120. The duty free shops are almost all closed.
The stupid easyjet crew at the boarding counter are just ridiculous. They …

I really liked this hostel! It was super clean and the beds were nice. The staff were mean though.

I loved staying here. Considering the fact I was located in Interlaken, the price isn´t too bad. Breakfast and internet included! My favorite feature was the hammock room! Also, there is a bar in the basement there where everyone goes to hang!

Balmer's is worth a stay in Interlaken. It's famous for being one of the most popular places and nightlife of the town. Great gathering of backpackers here, many people to meet. Hostel conditions aren't great and it's expensive (as all of Switzerland is). Since it's a party hostel, it's not the best place to get a good nights sleep.
