Location is excellent, tram stop right out the front door, and Marketgasse shopping in an easy walk. The room is very comfortable with luxurious amenities, nespresso in room. We paid for the breakfast, which is costly, but the best breakfast we enjoyed anywhere on our trip! Bern is a lovely city many travelers miss.

Great hotel when visiting Bern
Great room with wonderful amenities including a complimentary drink-stocked fridge. Big shower with powerful rainshower. Terrific location at a city bus/tram stop just across the river from the town square. Clean, modern, stylish. Eco-conscious. Great value for the money. Would return and recommend to others.

First of all, I arrived at the room, it was extremely small, but the weirdest thing is that the window overlooked the interior of the hotel... so I had no views to the outside, which was EXTREMELY claustrophobic... I asked to change rooms, and I was charge around 30 euros for the upgrade on the category... which is crazy to me, but honestly it was something i had to do.... I was traveling with friends, and they had a baby, it was very hard for them to find a microwave to heat up their bottle at night... Other than that, this is a very standard hotel, and honestly it doesnt reflect the famous swiss hospitality.

Stayed for 4 days with my family. Totally liked hote. Although parking is expensive, but hey this is swiss and everything is expensive. Breakfast was good. Only one request for hotel is to provide enough towels for number of people in room instead of calling. I was with my wife and kid but only 2 towels provided. Just a feedback for hotel provide according to room numbers . Otherwise i will recommend this to family members staying . Hotel is closeby to other attractions and is walking distance to center of bern

Reasonably priced hostel with the basics you'd need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was just okay, not amazing as some if the reviews would make you think - they had a decent selection of breads and cheeses, and some healthy options like yogurt, flax seeds, chia seeds, but no fresh sliced fruits and veg. The main reason for rating this a bit lower is that I think the bedsheets/bedspreads in our room were infested with dust mites (there were no visible bugs). My husband and I woke up several times due to severe itchiness, we even developed some rashes that went away after an hour or so. We've never had this problem with any other place we stayed at in our Europe trip (and we stayed at 8 different hotels/hostels).
