Very friendly family that runs the hotel/hostel. Because it was still low season we got a free upgrade to a better room which is always a nice surprise. The room was very comfortable and the location is fantastic. There is also a lovely little common area where you can watch TV and enjoy a free selection of teas.

The staff were uniformly friendly and helpful. The facility itself was absolutely amazing in all of the details such as separate washrooms for each gender that had plenty of space for several people at a time in the same for toilets. Plenty of showers that were private. Superb dinner! I had to leave before their included breakfast but presume it was also wonderful. It is in a quiet space with nice outdoor relaxation possible as well as indoor. Whenever traveling I'm going to be looking for this type of facility within this organization. Highly recommend! Also it was in a quiet area. Very comfortable beds.

It felt like home! Very nice and friendly staff. This is how classic herberge feels like. Toasty warm living room where everyone meets. 2 dogs and a cat were a bonus. I would recommend to a friend or fellow pilgrim

Bonistock hotel is located at an amazing location with beautiful views of mountains all around. Melchsee and Tannensee are nearby and one can either take a 5 min cable car from Melchsee to reach the hotel or take a 45 min hike. We did a rather long 2 hours' hike covering Tannensee and it was totally worth it! The room was small and simple but spotless clean. The staff was highly welcoming and cheerful. The 3 course meal served was delicious and the lady serving made us absolutely feel that we were cared for, with a genuine smile on the face! The breakfast had a decent and enjoyable spread for a mountain hotel. There is a nice deck where you can sit and enjoy the views and we were outside at 10 pm gazing the stars when Stefan came out and brought us blankets to make us even more comfortable, that was a lovely gesture and something which made us enjoy the long evening even more. I highly recommend the place and would personally go back again!

This facility is perfect for families driving into Switzerland. It's walking distance to a lift that has a fun alpine playground and marble run and excellent views. Enough beds for bigger families. We brought our own food to make it more affordable, and there were kitchen and picnic facilities. We easily navigated to other areas like the lakes and Lauterbrunnen valley.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location close to Titlis gondola. Hostel itself has parking, games/table tennis/outside area/balcony. Clean beds and washrooms, quiet in summer but well setup with breakfast and optional dinner. Really enjoyed my stay.
