Hapimag Resort Interlaken

8/10 Good
"The location for this property is great and very central in Interlaken. Restaurants and transportation are within short walking distance. The staff is very friendly and responsive. I wish the rooms were a little cleaner however. The floors were a bit sticky and the bathroom showers showed a little bit of mold and a breakdown in the grouts."
