Great location in Bern, able to walk to literally anywhere in the city easily. Kitchen was great, allowing us to prepare dinner for a night in a clean environment. Water Kettle allowed us to make our own coffee in the morning :) Bathrooms and Showers were very clean

I feel that the number of bathrooms to be shared among guests on a single floor were less and ventilation in dorm needs improvement, can get a bit stuffy if dorm is full.

You definitely pay for what you get. It’s a bit pricey but definitely worth the extra money for a nice, warm and clean room!
The place was absolutely spotless and the beds were very comfortable. It is very central and everything is within walking distance. Would really recommend this place :)

That they have one bathroom only for women and one for men by floor, so the cue was a little long
