Lovely hotel in the old town and just steps from the train station, Aare river and all the historic streets. So easy to make day trips and use city transit (free with stay). Our double room was well appointed, spacious and the AC worked well. Staff was very helpful and they also let us store our bags for a few hours after we checked out. Main floor has a small self serve drinks/cafe area where breakfast is also served in the morning. Lovely for a quick drink - with free coffee and tea all day! My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Wonderful hotel worth a prime location. Just a few blocks from the Bahnhof, Bundesplatz right across the street, and just blocks from everything else. The lobby provides free still and sparkling water. There were free drinks and cookies upon check in. And there was free ice cream being offered because of the ongoing heatwave. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

Very convenient location for both the main sights of the old town and the train station. Helpful staff. I had booked a small room but it was fine in terms of size. A bit noisy early in the morning but it was on a main road so to be expected. I didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that. Free tea, coffee and ice cream available.
