Great experience

Nice room, really clean. Near the end of the corridor so the room was pretty quiet. The air conditioning worked fine. All the staff we interacted with at check-in and subsequently were super polite and helpful.

We had an excellent stay at this hotel. The hotel is extremely well located right in the center of Bern close to the train station so transportation was easy. We had excellent service from Vera at the front desk. She was extremely friendly and went out of her way to tell us everything we needed to know right down to how to swim in the river safely. There are many special touches to the hotel lobby, including a great gathering space and even a free welcome drink. Loved our stay.
