La proprietà — Hey Hotel
Hey Hotel serves a functional, no-frills stay for Interlaken visitors who prioritise location over luxury. The lobby is compact and modern, with a reception desk that doubles as a tour-booking counter, suggesting the hotel knows its guests are here for the mountains, not the wallpaper. Rooms are clean and bright, if a little tight, and the USP is the rooftop terrace with direct views over the Höheweg towards the Jungfrau — that’s what you’re paying for.
Cronache di Interlaken
Interlaken grew from a small farming settlement into a resort town after the 19th-century arrival of the railway and steamships on Lakes Thun and Brienz. Its name literally means 'between the lakes', and the town’s layout is defined by the Höheweg, a grand promenade lined with Belle Époque hotels, casinos and gardens. The Jungfrau Railway, completed in 1912, cemented Interlaken as the gateway to the high Alps, a role it still plays today. Culturally, the town is a curious mix of Swiss timidity and international gimmickry — think chocolatier shops alongside Indian curry houses and a minor case of cuckoo-clock touristification that works best if you treat it as a base camp.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Interlaken →I migliori mesi
June to August: reliable summer weather for hiking, paragliding and lake excursions. July and August have the warmest temperatures (20–25°C) and longest daylight hours, though crowds peak then.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the busiest months, driven by European summer holidays and the Jungfrau Marathon in early September. Hotel prices can double from shoulder-season rates, and book-up three months ahead. The most disruptive event is the Unspunnen Festival (every six years, next in 2029), but street closures for the Jungfrau Marathon can still snarl traffic.
Stagione di spalla
May and September offer the best balance: mild weather (12–18°C), lower prices (30–40% less than summer) and visibly fewer tourists. The Jungfrau, Schilthorn and other high-altitude attractions remain open, and hiking trails are largely snow-free in advanced season.
Meteo e imballaggio
Interlaken’s climate is defined by the 'Föhn' wind — a warm, dry downslope wind that can push temperatures 10°C above the seasonal norm in minutes, followed by sudden rain. Pack a waterproof shell that layers easily over a midweight fleece, and always carry dry socks and a spare base layer for rapid weather changes at altitude.
Briefing della città — Interlaken
- The BLS railway company has finished its multi-year modernisation of Interlaken Ost station; the new footbridge and platform layout are now operational, cutting connection times to Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen by about 5 minutes.
- Interlaken’s new 'Mürrenbahn' cable car from Stechelberg to Mürren is set to open in early 2026, replacing the old funicular and offering a faster link to the Schilthorn ski area — check for test runs during your summer visit.
- The Höheweg has been pedestrianised between the casino and the Kursaal from June to September, with pop-up food stalls and free outdoor yoga every Saturday morning through July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hey Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the back (courtyard side). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level buzz and overlook the quiet inner courtyard, not the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor – they sit directly above the lobby and breakfast area, so you’ll hear chair scraping and chatter from 7am. Also skip any room ending in ‘01’ or ‘02’ – those face the street and pick up traffic noise from the nearby junction.
Best views
Rooms at the back have a green courtyard view – pleasant but not spectacular. If you can get a top-floor room (4th) with a slight side view towards the Harder Kulm, that’s the best you’ll do at this 3-star place.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4. The lift stops here but it’s not a main service floor, and the courtyard side keeps things silent after 10pm.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a main road in Interlaken’s west end, so front rooms get constant car and motorbike noise from 7am to 11pm. The bar on the ground floor has live music until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays – that bleeds into rooms above it (rooms 201-208 roughly). Lift machinery is audible in rooms right next to it (around rooms 104, 204, 304).
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by car, park in the hotel’s own tiny lot (free, first-come) – spaces fill by 5pm in summer, so aim for a 3pm check-in. 2. Request a room on the 4th floor at booking – it’s the quietest and gets afternoon sun; mention ‘courtyard side’ specifically.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principali attrazioni a Interlaken
💡 Free organ recitals happen most Wednesday evenings at 19:30 in summer — check the noticeboard outside for exact dates.
💡 Cross the footbridge from Interlaken West station — the quietest time is early morning before the tour groups arrive.
💡 Walk it at sunset when the mountains catch the alpenglow — the light changes fast, so go around 20:00 in summer.
💡 For free entry, walk up instead of taking the funicular — the path starts behind the Interlaken Ost station and is unmarked but used by locals.
💡 Walk east from the Bönigen harbour — the swimming pier at the end of Seestrasse is free and rarely crowded, even in July.
