Good location, very central. We had a big room with a balcony. Friendly staff and the lobby/bar area was nice. Recommended.
Wonderful stay for 3 days! Amazing staff. Loved the many options for breakfast. Bed and work area were great. The closest hotel to Bern’s main train station was a very important part of my stay. Only 5 minutes or less to walk to the down escalator!

Room was quite small, but pretty.
Breakfast was really good.
Cleaning wasn’t really good, we have also received dirty towels. Coffeemaker leaks a bit.
6/10 to summarise our experience
Beautiful room, centrally located. We were lucky enough to wake to see the locals celebrating the Onion Festival. Best Onion Garlic. Bread I have ever had. The staff warm and welcoming
