Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located right in front of the train station, making it a perfect choice for travelers coming by train. The rooms, although clean, had a slightly weird smell and tended to be hot even with the balcony door open. The service, after the first night, was helpful and the staff were very friendly, although there may be some concerns about security as keys seem to be easily given out. The location is great for those utilizing the train, being only a 3-minute walk from the Bern Train Station, putting it in a very central spot close to the city center. Regarding dining, the breakfast was ordinary and not included in the rate, which may not justify the price. However, for those preferring fish dishes, there might be some appeal. Overall, the hotel offers decent facilities, but it might not be the best value for money due to certain drawbacks in the rooms and dining experiences.
The hotel is ideally situated right in front of the Bern railway station, offering convenient access to transportation. The rooms are decent with acceptable amenities, though the prices are on the higher side. The service is exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff members going the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. The location is perfect for exploring Bern, close to tram and bus lines, making it convenient for sightseeing. Dining options are satisfactory, with some variability in quality. Overall, a solid choice for those seeking a central location with excellent service.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, although they could use a bit of updating. The service was impeccable, with a very friendly and multilingual staff. The location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the train station and close to all the main attractions. The dining options were good, but a bit pricey. Overall, a great value for the money.
