It was a bit cold at night. Also there was a noise of drunken people. Reception opens at a certain hours which seems impossible to ask my baggage kept.
Very clean room, toilet and bathroom. It was first time for me to see that the bathroom was installed with a glass door not a shower curtain and it felt so clean. There was a fan in the room. Spacious bathroom and toilet. Security is well managed with an electronic key.

We expected kitchen in our room and that is why we booked this room. The staff agreed that the information given on booking.com was incorrect and he promised to correct it. We had to share the kitchen which caused inconvenience. There was no clothes rack in our room. We had to climb one floor to reach Bern backpacker's reception which we did not expect. The room provided was overpriced for the facilities we received.
The host/staff were very friendly. He/they provided all the help we asked for. They also provided space to keep our luggage in their store room for few hours after we checked-out.

Everything was good enough. I have no complaints.
The common area is quite nice and spacious with a very organised kitchen. The rooms are good as well as the lockers. The toilets and bathrooms are clean as well. Moreover, the location of the hostel is quite convenient, it's right next to the Zytglogge clock tower, which is a very famous tourist attraction in Bern.
