Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were modern and as expected, although a bit small. The service was a mix of helpful and confusing aspects. The location had its warm charm, but some downsides. The dining experience had its highs and lows, and the facilities were decent.
The hotel provided a great view of the Bern city, including the famous Parliament building, with comfortable and quiet rooms. However, the en-suite bathroom lacked privacy for two. The staff was friendly and accommodating despite some confusion about their roles. The location was excellent, close to public transport, but not right in the city center. The dining options were good value but slightly expensive, and the facilities were just okay.
The hotel didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of room temperature and bathroom facilities, but it was still a relatively comfortable and clean stay. The service started well but took a turn when facing an issue, yet the location was convenient. The dining experience was impressive, though not included in the rate. The facilities were satisfactory, providing a decent stay overall.
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms but struggles with temperature control. The service is friendly but falls short of a 4-star experience. The location is excellent for city center access but lacks a vibrant atmosphere. Dining options are nice but may not justify the price.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were nicely designed with a unique bathroom setup that offered a 'wellness feeling,' dealing with the initial smoky smell was unpleasant. The service, although cordial, seemed a bit disjointed, possibly due to new staff training issues. The location had its perks being near public transportation but felt uninspiring. The dining options were good but could be a bit pricey. Overall, a stay with some ups and downs.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were fantastic and very comfortable, but the toilet cubicle with the shower was not ideal. The temperature in the room was a bit warm and took some time to cool down. The service was top-notch but could have been a bit friendlier in the restaurant. The location, while outside the center, was convenient with lovely views. The dining experience was overall good, with a slightly high price.
