I’m not going to take a star away bc of this, I dont think it is objective for what I am rating, but know that you’re not allowed to speak “at all” after 10:00pm I’m not sure how this is possible because it’s a freaking hostel. While you should be respectful people are coming and going! Someone checked into our room past 10 and they were trying to figure the room situation out (we were literally whispering) and some homeless man in our room didn’t want us speaking at all. The train is easy to navigate to the city but annoying. Also, as a side note for other travelers if you plan on traveling to lauterbrunnen, zurmat, etc. just pay the extra and stay around those areas the trains are great but it is not a quick train ride to get to those places. Stay in Bern it’s close to everything.
