The hotel is overall standard, clean, and compared to other hotels closer to city center is ok priced (for Switzerland). The only downside was shower temperature, it was going from boiling hot to freezing cold constantly and there was no way to regulate it. Also there was no kettle in the room and no option to get free tea from the reception area. You can buy tea from the hotel bar for 4CHF, the tea is a simple twinings teabag. Location wise there's not much around, as in there are no restaurants and bars but the tram stop is just outside the hotel so it wasn't a problem. Hotel offers free public transport ticket, make sure to ask for it!

Not good for families with kids

Booked a double room for three nights to stay with my family, (spouse + 6 year old kid). We were not allowed to stay there and were asked to book another room due to there policies. We ended up booking an extra room (total of 2 rooms) in the same hotel for the night, Had to pay ~$ 100 although we never used the second room (ended up staying in the same room as a family). Had to stay in the Novotel hotel(next to Ibis under the same management) for next two night which cost me extra ~ $ 300 for the saty than I anticipated. It is strange that I never had this issue in other hotels in Switzerland (or any other country) during my 30 days trip in Europe. Reasonably OK hotel for the money. Front desk staff not friendly or helpful at all. I would not stay there again and not recommending families with kids to stay there.

Short stay over night. The staff was very helpful allowing us to store our bags even after we checked out so we could explore the city a little before heading to our next destination. The bed was very comfortable compared to most places we’ve stayed at.

Fantastic Hotel with great location!

Great hotel! A tram runs from the train station and stops in front of the hotel. The Bern Rose Garden, with great views of the city, is a short walk from the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel if you want to spend some time in Bern.
