Valley Hostel in Lauterbrunnen questions

Short summary – read this first

A couple is planning a six-day stay at the Valley Hostel in Lauterbrunnen and has several questions about the amenities, grocery options, and transport. They want to know about the bathroom availability, whether there’s space for groceries, and if there are reasonably priced grocery stores nearby, especially since they arrive on a Friday when stores may have limited hours.

Key takeaways:
  • Check with the hostel reception for specifics about bathroom ratios and grocery spaces.
  • Look for grocery stores in Lauterbrunnen instead of traveling to Interlaken for better convenience.
  • Grocery shops may have limited hours on weekends, so plan accordingly.
  • Make sure to confirm public transport options from the hostel to your excursion sites.

    Hi,

    A couple questions for anyone who may have stayed at the Valley Hostel in Lauterbrunnen. what is the ratio of bathrooms to rooms and are they co-Ed. Is it easy to have a space to put your groceries. We will be here six days and plan to make most of our meals to eat there and to take a lunch with us on excursions. Is there grocery store that is reasonable priced near by or do we need to pick up groceries in Interlaken. How late are stores open. We are arriving on on Friday and know thinks have limited opening times on the weekend. I think for looking at the hostel it is reasonably close to public transport. Finally got the conformation I have the time off from work so I am narrowing down where to stay. I have some thing booked for all parts except the first 3 days in Lucerne.

    thanks

    Most of those questions are best answered by the reception desk or the manager at your hostel in Lauterbrunnen. Probably, a forum member will have more details, but I’d really start with the hostel manager or front desk.
