My adult son and I stayed one night. Our choice (helped by the tourist info office at train station) was dictated by price and location - of course nothing Bern is cheap - this was good value. Personnel at desk and breakfast left a bit to be desired, but nothing solid to object to. Room was fine IF you are... More

We chose this hotel as we wanted to be quite central and as it was winter we wanted to be sure we could walk while not getting wet or snowed on. For those who have never been to Bern, all the roads of the old town are flanked by arcades, which means that people are always covered. As it was... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in mid October 2011. Overall, we were very happy with this hotel. Location: Very central in old town Bern. Great spot from which to explore. About 10 minute walk from the central train station. Trams and buses are available within a block or two to take you just about anywhere in the city. Room: Very... More

My wife and I stayed just one night in late September 2011. Location is great, about 10 minute walk to train station, close to everything in the Old Town. Front desk lady kind of quirky and not really friendly, reminded us of a Saturday Night Live sketch. We had a triple room because it was the only one available so... More

Heritage on the outside, upmarket Ikea on the inside. Bathroom was a converted wardrobe. Good locoation. Efficient but rather cold reception staff.

we enjoyed to stay in Bern in this hotel. Very good location, close to main train station. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast is very simple, but fresh baked bread was so good. Room is small, but comfortable.

The hotel is situated right in the historic center of Bern, just a few steps away from the city's landmark clock tower. It is even a historic place in itself, being the oldest hotel in town. The room I was in was obviously just recently refurbished, relatively modern style with an inset bathroom. It was small but functional, actually not... More

I liked my stay at this hotel. It was a reasonable price for Bern and a great location in the old part of the city. Lots of restaurants closeby. Enjoyed the buffet breakfast. Street was a little noisy at night until bars closed around 1am. Comfortable room. Staff were very helpful especially before my visit when we exchanged emails.

About 15 mins. from train station. Nothing in room operates without electronic key inserted into room control. Yes, bathroom is insert, so everyone else knows your business. Only one trash can (in the bathroom) in the whole place. Only stayed one night. OK and likely good for some people, but I don't think I would stay here again.
