Hotel Tell & Apartments

Hotel Tell & Apartments is a small hotel with apartments at Hauptstrasse 49, 3800 Matten bei Interlaken, with about 10 rooms. William Tell is the Swiss national folk hero, and Tell is a common name for hotels and restaurants across the country. The property's combination of hotel rooms and apartments suits visitors who want to stay several nights and prepare some of their own meals, which is a practical advantage in Switzerland, where eating out is expensive. Apartment-style accommodation commonly includes a kitchenette, though exact facilities at this property are not confirmed here and should be checked on the website, hotel-tell.com. The Hauptstrasse location in Matten is on the road toward Wilderswil, with buses to Interlaken West and Interlaken Ost and a walk of roughly 15 to 25 minutes to the Höhematte meadow. Supermarkets, bakeries and small restaurants are available in Matten and in central Interlaken, so self-catering guests can stock up easily. At around 10 rooms the hotel is among the smaller options in the area, giving a personal feel. Category is budget, with lower nightly rates than the promenade hotels, but the small size means availability in July and August can be limited, and booking ahead is common practice. Matten bei Interlaken is a village directly adjoining Interlaken on the south side of the Aare, along the Hauptstrasse that leads towards Wilderswil and the Lauterbrunnen valley. The setting is quieter and more residential than the Höheweg, with traditional Bernese farmhouse and chalet architecture still visible along the street. Interlaken West and Interlaken Ost stations, and the Höhematte meadow, are reachable on foot or by a short bus ride, and the local bus network connects to the valley villages. Properties in Matten and neighbouring Unterseen tend to price below the promenade hotels, which makes them popular with independent travellers who spend their days on trains and trails around the Jungfrau Region. The Swiss Travel Pass and the Berner Oberland Regional Pass cover many of the nearby lake boats and mountain railways, and the Swiss Half Fare Card gives discounts on the rest.
