Located right by the main Bern train station/tram hub and within the beautiful old town. The property is stylish and well decorated. They offer a free drink coupon if you opt out of housekeeping for that particular day.

TV wasn’t working - informed reception. Was told they would check. When I returned tv still not working. Informed receptionist at check out - she offered a small refund but then retracted as I booked via Expedia! I explained that it should not make any difference how I booked my reservation. She wasn’t at all sympathetic - just said hotel was unserstaffed and it was the weekend?
