Having stayed at the hotel 3 months ago, I once again chose it due to its central location. But after a sleepless night, hot & smelly room, uncomfortable bed and overpriced breakfast I decided not to return. ever.

A lovely simple hotel right near the main station. It's not fancy but it's also not expensive. The beds are okay, but not truly comfy... And they have that irritating European divot down the center. Biggest caution is no air conditioning... Keep this in mind for stays during the summer.

We stayed for one night at the City Am Bahnhof hotel in Bern and found the hotel to be spotlessly clean and the staff friendly. The hotel could do with a fresh lick of paint but the location is excellent (near the main train station) and walking distance from the main sights. The only downside was the price which, however,...

This hotel was a good place to stay - easy access to the city and attractions, and across from the station. My room was huge (quite a surprise and apparently a mistake!) and it was clean and quiet. So far, so good. The guy on the front desk, however, wasn't great. He wasn't rude at all, just not overly friendly.... More

We liked the hotel. from the station 5 minutes leisurely pace. The historic center in 5 minutes. The rooms are clean. cozy. The windows looked out into the yard on some pipe. We are not confused, we have come only to sleep. The most important thing was quiet and we slept peacefully at night. But when we moved to Zurich,... More

Business people who hurry from city to city and need to safe time after arrival and before departure will find the hotel an appropriate choice. You should not expect a quiet and very comfortable place to stay. The room offered a very small desk for work on the notebook. Breakfast covers teh needs of the business traveler. Restaurants for dinner... More

Stayed at this hotel for one night in February 2012 - it is smack in the middle of the city, very convenient for getting around on foot, but also means there is some street noise. The room was spacious and clean, and beds were very comfortable - but it did not seem recently renovated. Breakfast was adequate - but all... More

Close to the train station, but also located in a busy area traffic-wise. In addition, the nearby church bells sounds every 15 mins making it impossible to sleep with windows open. Good sized room however and the pillow & duvet was very comfy. "Standard" breakfast & friendly staff. Pay the bill the night in advance if you are in a... More

Good location, too hot in the summer. If you want to sleep you must keep the window opened, but the street in front of the hotel is noisy. Anyway it's close to the train station and close to a lot of good interesting points. We

We had a room facing the main street and station, which when the windows needed to be open (no air conditioning in our room), it was pretty noisy....when the windows are closed, the double glazing cut's out over 90% of the noise.....but the room was one of the largest I've had abroad, very clean and an excellent bathroom.
