As someone who travels a lot, I can definitely say that this hotel doesn't qualify as a 4-star hotel. It's actually a 3-star hotel by all standards. The sink looks normal-sized in the photo, but in reality, it's so small that even a small person can't even wash their hands without splashing water all over themselves.

Loved this property for our first trip to Bern! The staff was very friendly, and the decor was super adorable. Very easy walking distance to everything in the old town, safe, clean, and the beds were very comfortable too. The showerhead was the most massive showerhead I’ve ever seen in a bathroom and it felt amazing.

Central location in Bern. The staff was incredible and very friendly and helpful. Seems to be a hot spot for after work businesses. The breakfast was very good and the Brie and jam on their delicious bread is second to none. My girls ran in the morning down by the river and the city seems very safe. Walkable to all of the things. We love this hotel and Bern. We were too late in the year to do the river swim, too cold, but if you travel in the warmer months put this on your list. The rooms were clean and had ample room for the 5 of us traveling. We used 2 rooms. The rooms had a little wear and tear on them but we would definitely stay here again.

The hotel and accommodations were great. Unfortunately we were here during a heat wave and the A/C was not working. Staff did make efforts to repair and even offered to switch rooms. The eventual solution was staff providing a fan and that made it comfortable.

Avoid this hotel if you need it cool to sleep

The hotel advertises that they have air conditioning. There is an in room thermostat and a cooling system, but you are unable to get the temp of the room below 22/23*C, even when AC is set to 17.5*C for multiple hours with windows shut. If
