Not what you would consider luxury, although it had all the amenities and services that I required for my stay. The location was perfect, being very close to the main station. Should I visit Bern again, I would happily stay.

This hotel is in a great location to explore the city from and right across from the main station, so logistically it's good news and why it gets 3 stars. Put it another 500m from the centre and it's be 2 stars at best. Breakfast is fine but the rooms are shabby, TV remote wasn't working, the bathroom had clear... More

Nothing good to say except may be location nearby train station and decent breakfast. Very inconvenient to access if you come by own car, the traffic is organized in the centre do that you have to do few U-turns in order to get there and and still you only get to park in the front of the hotel for 10...

Very well-situated, clean and quiet (if one asks for a room without a street view), decent bathroom (with a single towel... well, rather a pocket-handkerchief). However, the size of the bed (single) is grotesque! And sleeping is a big part of why we book a room in the first place, isn't it? A Hobbit-size bed, the tiny towel... Come on... More

As a seasoned rail traveller I seek out hotels close to railway stations and this is a good one in Bern the Swiss capital. Just one road to cross (pedestrian lights) and visible across the square to the right on leaving the station. A quaint 'shop front' entrance to the modern and efficient reception. My room was on the fifth... More

I spent just one night at this hotel in September2012. Directly opposite the cities train station, the hotel sits in a fantastic location in good proximity to trains, trams, shops bars and restaurants. The room (a triple as there were 3 of us sharing) was a good size with an open wardrobe, small glass desk shelf and a bathroom with... More

OK, so on the plus side it's a quick walk from the station (if that's how you're arriving). It's clean and functional. The bathroom had a nice concept; washbasin separate from the toilet and shower but kept apart from the main room. The entrance was nice (or pretentious?), walking over a mini bridge over a small pond to the reception... More

Being on a whistle-stop rail tour, we chose this hotel on the basis of its proximity to Bern’s Hauptbahnhof and reviews on Tripadvisor. The good bits: Very central, and very modern. The rooms were huge (especially after the Eder in Munich) and cleanly and simply decorated; though some might call it minimalistic. Bathroom was good with separate area for hand... More

Nothing much to complain as everything was smooth through out my stay. The location is perfect. But don't expect to much on the hotel for the money you paid. It is a 3-star hotel!

Were this a cheap and cheerful hotel it would be ok, but charging CHF200 for a budget room makes it mid-priced and slightly nasty. On the bright side, it does have a good location. On the down side, what are the stains on the wall?
