About Backpackers Villa Sonnenhof

With a homely feel, Backpackers Villa Sonnenhof has a variety of rooms and facilities. Originally established in 1998 Backpackers Villa opened an additional building in 2009. The two buildings complement each other perfectly being a mix of traditional and new. In the 200-year old Chalet building there are shared facilities with both private or dorm options. Individual private rooms with shower/toilet en-suite can be found in the new building.

Your accommodation comes with all you can eat breakfast, access to shared kitchen, linen (to put on yourselves), private lockers, free WiFi, free access to local swimming pools and mini golf, free use of public buses and parking, all taxes, climate neutral compensation (myclimate.org).

Interlaken suits all tastes, from the more relaxed traveller to adrenaline junkies. Surrounded by the beautiful Swiss Alps, it is an ideal base to explore the impressive Jungfrau region on foot, bike or by cable car. In winter skiing packages are available.

 

Location of Backpackers Villa Sonnenhof

Interlaken is a great Alpine Backpacker spot providing you with more options of fun activities and adrenaline sports than any other town in the Northern hemisphere. Choose from adventure sports such Canyoning or Rafting, take to the air with Paragliding or Hanggliding and if you can’t decide if earth or sky is the best place to be, you might want to give Bungy a try – dangling between heaven and earth you can make up your mind, which you prefer.

Enjoy the amazing mountains: take a train up to Jungfraujoch and experience everlasting glacier ice or enjoy an amazing cable car ride up to Schilthorn. There you see about 40 different Alpine tops. It’s quite unique.

Backpackers Villa acts as your perfect base for this stunning area. They can help to make the most of your time in Interlaken and also book your adventure activities if you so wish.

Safety

Solo travellers recommend this hostel as being very safe. Everyone has their own private key for the room and main entrance, plus their own personal locker in the room, which is big enough to store a whole backpack or medium size trolley case.

Backpackers Villa Sonnenhof isn’t a party hostel. There is another hostel with a fun club just down the road. The area is safe so once you return, Backpackers Villa is a good place to get some sleep away from the party atmosphere.

 Why is it solo-female friendly?

When travelling solo as a female, you might want to get talking to other travellers but still get a female only room to sleep in and feel relaxed.

There is a large public area with very good wifi, big 24hour kitchen, a large garden to relax in the summer and lots of space to chill.

Why we love it!

It’s not only in a stunning location in the heart of the Swiss Alps but Backpackers Villa has been rated among the best hostels worldwide continuously. This means that they want to make your stay as amazing as possible. Plus we love the female only rooms which are great for those wanting to stay with girls only.
