The location of Hotel Bern is perfect. We were easily able with reasonable walks in different directions to see all of the sights. The room itself was quite small and rather funky - ultra modern in decor. All was clean and well maintained. Be warned that breakfast is not complimentary. I missed this message somehow. We ate our usual small... More

My wife and I enjoyed the two days we spent at the Best Western Hotel Berne. The hotel is well located, next to the main points of interests and within walking distance from the railway station. The service is good and the staff helpfull. Although centraly located, we had some difficulties in finding the hotel (Zeughausgasse 9) due to temporary... More

So, old town Bern is small and this hotel is right in the middle of it. Got a quiet room facing away from street but the streets are very quiet anyways. The hotel is deserving of its four stars and is kept in top shape and clean. I noticed nothing broken or dilapidated in any parts. Had a breakfast meeting... More

We were welcomed by the hotel maitre and to our surprise he talked to us in Spanish,which is our mother tongue!!!! In fact he, Robin B. Entress was born in Tenerife and his father is Spanish.

Good hotel more to 4*minus, but in an excellent location for sightseeing old Berne city. It is a 5 to 10 min walk from the Railwaystation with many restaurants and shops nearby. Friendly staff in the hotel and hotel restaurant. Rooms have been modernized and are clean and adequate - no luxury, but practical. Bathroom was small (aprox 4 to... More

This is a centrally located hotel right in the old town so it is easy to get around. The view from our room was a little restricted as we had a great study of adjoining rooftops, but it is in the centre of the old town. Hotel does what it says on the tin, it is not flash but it... More

Of the three hotels we stayed at in Switzerland this trip, this was our favourite. It is not the rooms – they are a bit faded and not so big; but they have improved the lighting since I last stayed a couple of years ago and there is free cable ADSL for the internet (which worked very well). It was... More

Great location, spacious rooms and huge beds! Room decor is a little strange, big chair and all. Clean room + bathroom, shame wi-fi is only available in the lobby and the two pc are super-slow. Breakfast was fabulous though, too many choices and too posh, we did make the most out of it, frendly restaurant staff too. Also good location,... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bern Hotel. The rooms are a little outdated, but we slept really well and enjoyed looking out on the city from our room. You can't beat the location in Bern, it's right in the middle of the city- quick walk to the train, shopping areas, next to the Parilment, tons of restaurants and... More

Hotel is located in great location in the older part of Bern, however hotel also seems to date itself as well. Checked in and thought it was 1972. Rooms are old and worn and furniture definitely has seen better years. Service was friendly enough, but felt bad for clerks as they certainly have to deal with a lot of complaining... More
