The hotel boasts an excellent location right by the Aare River and adjacent to Bern’s Old Town, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing or riverside strolls. As a youth hostel, the rooms are simply furnished but clean and functional. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and they offered the option to reserve a parking space in advance. Since we were on a self-driving trip, parking had been a major concern, so having a reserved spot made our stay much more relaxed and enjoyable.
