Loved this property for our first trip to Bern! The staff was very friendly, and the decor was super adorable. Very easy walking distance to everything in the old town, safe, clean, and the beds were very comfortable too. The showerhead was the most massive showerhead I’ve ever seen in a bathroom and it felt amazing.

Central location in Bern. The staff was incredible and very friendly and helpful. Seems to be a hot spot for after work businesses. The breakfast was very good and the Brie and jam on their delicious bread is second to none. My girls ran in the morning down by the river and the city seems very safe. Walkable to all of the things. We love this hotel and Bern. We were too late in the year to do the river swim, too cold, but if you travel in the warmer months put this on your list. The rooms were clean and had ample room for the 5 of us traveling. We used 2 rooms. The rooms had a little wear and tear on them but we would definitely stay here again.

The hotel and accommodations were great. Unfortunately we were here during a heat wave and the A/C was not working. Staff did make efforts to repair and even offered to switch rooms. The eventual solution was staff providing a fan and that made it comfortable.

Avoid this hotel if you need it cool to sleep

The hotel advertises that they have air conditioning. There is an in room thermostat and a cooling system, but you are unable to get the temp of the room below 22/23*C, even when AC is set to 17.5*C for multiple hours with windows shut. If

Yikes!

The people working here were great, but we just completed 35 nights across 9 cities staying at 4 and 5 star hotels 80% were booked through hotels.com. This NH Hotel is NOT a 4 star hotel as represented by Hotels.com. The rug at the front door of the hotel was dirty and ratty. The walls and base boards in the room were extensively dinged and scuffed. There was mildew growing on the grout in the shower. The plastic seal at the bottom of the shower door was caked with nasty brown scum. I couldn’t tell if the indoor/outdoor type carpet was clean because it was a brown/green color and there was a strange oder in the room. And finally, when we arrived in the room, I went to use the bathroom and there was a p-bic hair sitting on the lid of the toilet. We were charged by hotels.com over $500 for the first night and I think over $300 for the second night. I felt lied to and taken advantage of by Hotels.com, but I want to make it clear that this hotel’s employees were wonderful.
