Hotel is rather basic, but very clean and conveniently located. Windows facing the street- not the main one, but still street noise could be noticed. Staff is great, and very helpful. We booked the cheapest room- it is small, other rooms are larger and better. Free happy hour drink was a pleasant surprise.

Wonderful Bern
Convenient and a short walk from Bern train station. The Saturday we were check in, there was a Saturday market with many stalls. Free coffee and beverage counter on ground floor. From 3pm, guests were treated to a free first drink. Reception were very helpful and chatty. Room was basic and clean.

Everything was great about this hotel: location close to train station, very walkable, close to dining and local activities, very friendly and helpful staff, clean hotel. The only reason I took away one star was you can hear the people above you walking in their room, and the room smelled musty (probably due to carpet).

Location - It is about 7 mins walking from Bern Train station and the hotel sits in the old city park which is just 5 mins walking to the central part. Even though it only takes 20 mins walking to bear park! Staff - Amazing friendly and super helpful Love the free coffee & tea provided in the room and lobby area Room - It is well maintained with bathtub (rare!) Seems no air-condition provided but it is totally fine for me

Very nice hotel. Only issue is they have no space for baggage storage so if you want to stay afternoon to tour city you have to leave bags in lobby unsecured. Also, we arrived prior to 3:00 pm. Our Room was ready, however, property charged us $30 cfh for early check in. Not cool!
