Location next to old town area. Wonderful, friendly staff. Clean room with a very comfortable bed.

Jennifer United States of America

The location of the hotel was perfect for me. I have family living in Bern because I grew up there. The public transportaion was available at no charge since the hotel provided me with an app to use while staying at the hotel. I would absolutely recommend this hotel for guests to use.

John United States of America

The room was clean, and all the staff except for Brittina (front desk worker)was excellent. She was down right upset that we did not preorder pillow and comforter without down. The hotel menu stated you could order them there. She acted like she had to bring them from home
