This is a beautiful, historic hotel in the centre of Bern, but if you're planning on doing any kind of sleeping, go elsewhere. They even provide basic (and hopeless) ear plugs next to the bed. I paid 150 CHF for a night here, and checked out within 4 hours. Even with my Sony Noise Cancelling headphones, I had a headache after being in the room for 30 minutes. Go elsewhere. Find a hotel just a few roads parallel to this one... it'll make all the difference. Lovely hotel receptionists though, very helpful and friendly.

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!

Best staff
The staff were the best! So friendly and helpful. They have a welcome drink and give you a bar of Swiss chocolate as you leave. Really lovely extras that make it nice. This area was right by the main train station making it easy to travel and find the hotel. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and enjoyed the neighborhood. Always busy and on the weekend a festival happening.
