Hotel Alphorn

Hotel Alphorn is a small budget hotel of about 13 rooms at Rothornstrasse 29a in Interlaken, in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland. It stands in a residential street south of the town centre, away from the busier Höheweg promenade, which gives the stay a quiet, neighbourhood feel. Interlaken's town centre, the Höhematte meadow and the railway stations are within a reasonable walk, and the area is a convenient base for the lakes of Thun and Brienz and for the Jungfrau region's mountain railways.

With only around 13 rooms, the hotel operates on a personal scale, closer to a guesthouse than to a large hotel. The one-dollar-sign price band and budget category suggest indicative rates of about CHF 90 to 220 per night, depending on season and room type. Details of room categories, breakfast, dining and facilities are not recorded in the available data, so visitors who need a particular service should confirm it directly with the property before booking.

The small size means that availability can disappear quickly in summer, particularly in July and August, when Interlaken is among the busiest destinations in Switzerland. Travellers who book early typically have a wider choice of rooms and dates. In the shoulder seasons, spring and autumn, the town is calmer and rates are generally lower, while winter attracts ski and snowboard visitors heading for the Jungfrau ski areas.

The hotel suits independent travellers, couples and hikers who value a quiet street and a lower price over resort-style amenities. Interlaken is the starting point for outdoor activities such as hiking, paragliding, canyoning and boat trips, and the town's compact layout makes it easy to reach most departures on foot or by a short train ride. The hotel can be contacted on +41 33 822 30 51 or through hotel-alphorn.ch. Visitors arriving by train from Bern or Zurich typically change at Interlaken West or Ost and reach the street on foot or by a short local ride.
