    Balmers is the place to be in Interlaken if you enjoy chill vibes and meeting great people

    Liked: I really enjoyed how lively everyone was and had a great time meeting people. I had the chance to meet a great group of friends I will never forget. Balmers made it perfect because there's always a spot to hang out no matter what.

    Disliked: I wish the beds were a tad comfier. They were a little hard for me, but I know some people like hard beds.
