📍Balmer`s Hostel, Interlaken, Switzerland 🇨🇭
We came to Interlaken because this hostel was way cheaper than anything in Zurich, and we prefer the small towns anyway. Little did we know that this hostel would win our hearts with more than just its prices and good location. It turns out it`s the oldest private hostel in all of Switzerland, and it`s the coziest place ever. I couldn`t resist taking the camera around the whole hostel 😂
