Breakfast was exceptional. It was wonderful to wake up to fresh bread, yogurt, produce, deli meats and cheeses (to name a few) before starting a long day. Great coffee machine for espresso in the morning. The bathrooms/shower area were kept immaculately clean. Very impressive. The hospitality and cleaning staff were top notch. The front desk staff were incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. Location is prime! You’re right across the street from the Aare river, a little park, and restaurant. Or just minutes from the famous, Gelateria di Berna and Freibad Marzili.
I visited during mid-August (no air conditioning), so it was very hot at night in the rooms. However, the staff graciously provided a fan for our room (fans are first come, first served).

Great location for a stay in Bern, lovely being so close to the river.
A very easy walk, with funicular, from the train station

Good location only 15 minutes from the main train station and on the outskirts of the busy touristy areas so a nice quiet area. Check in staff were lovely
The building felt very cold and uninviting both outside and inside. The bathrooms were in the main hallway corridor near the staircase so everyone can see you coming and going. The showers, while had hot water were very very basic. The bedrooms were simple and offered fresh bedding but did not have bathroom towels, you cannot hire from reception so BYO towel. Getting to the property is downhill, so if you’re travelling with a large suitcase be aware it’s a very steep hill down with stairs and ramps. There is a gondola nearby that can be used for €1.50 each way which was helpful
