The hotel has over 130 years of history. It was opened under the name of Pension Cancer when it was built in 1875 on Bahnhofstrasse (Station Street) by Krebs family. At that time, the street was still surrounded by fields and it was only with time that different types of shops emerged around the hotel.
Interestingly, in this period a room cost 2,50 Swiss Francs (without water in the room) (R$ 8,88 at the rate of 10/06/2016), breakfast cost 1,50 CHF (R$ 5,33 at quote from 10/06/2016) while dinner cost between 2,50 and 3,00 Swiss Francs.
In 1890, it underwent the first expansion process. The second came only in 1927, when rooms with access to water were created. However, the hotel still had only one place to shower.
in the period of Segunda Guerra Mundial, served as a military base and only later in 1947 did it receive guests again. From there, electricity, an elevator, a bar and also a restaurant were introduced.
The hotel has passed through four generations of Krebs family before changing owners in 2005. It underwent a renovation and in 2008 it opened its doors again, now as a four-star Boutique Hotel. if you are looking where to stay in Interlaken, you already know what story you find in cancer.

Internet and TV
Internet is included in the rate and works well in different parts of the hotel. Rooms are also equipped with TV and international channels.
I liked the hotel, for being four stars I think it owed in some parts, such as the elevator is super small and the hallway floor makes noise when walking. It is possible to notice that they are old structures, but the hotel intends to keep some of its history and tradition even though it belongs to another family these days.
Another factor that makes the Hotel Krebs popular is the terrace that on Sundays receives many young people who go there to have drinks and chat at dusk.
