I like the homey atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. Wide space in the breakfast hall and the dorm room. A few steps walk to the bus stop that will take you to downtown Bern. Lovely stay!

Can’t ask for better for a budget room & private bath right in the heart of the Bern Altstadt! The room was basic, but it had everything for a comfortable stay—reading lights by the bed, heated towel rack, soap, etc. The communal kitchen was clean and spacious for breakfast.

We stayed in a double room, and there were lots of hooks and shelves. The location is great, in a quiet part of town close to the river, about a 5-10 minute walk to the old part of the city. The included breakfast buffet was really good. The hostel has a free room to store luggage in before or after you check in/out.

We really enjoyed the ability to experience the complimentary tour. Next time we’ll spend a few days with you rather than just one!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    VERY high standard of furnishings, gorgeous grounds , very friendly staff, perfect location and best hostel breakfast I’ve ever had. Appreciated being able to leave our luggage there upon checkout too and the 24 hour reception was really useful as we arrived late

    The staff was very friendly and helpfull. The accomodations were roomy and the open kitchen very well organised. Cereals, milk and tea were for free and there was a small coffeemachine. All the rooms and shared spaces were really clean. This hostel deserves a spot in my top 3 of best hostels I visited.

    In an expensive country like Switzerland, finding a nice and cheap place where to stay is absolutely great. And this is Bern Backpackers. Nice rooms, safe, clean, kind staff and perfect location.

    Honestly one of the best hostels i ve stayed. They provided a code to have free transport to the center and center zone in general, they had cheap options for food compared to the rest of the city and the breakfast was great. Plus the staff was friendly and very helpful with everything
