Featuring free bikes and views of garden, artroom is a recently renovated guest house located in Bern, 700 metres from Bärengraben. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The property offers allergy-free units and is set 1.4 km from Münster Cathedral.

This was honestly a hidden gem! It was absolutely spotless, extremely comfortable, and had everything you need. The host also provides a fridge in the room which was super handy. Not only that, it was only a short walk from places like the Bear Pit, Old Town, multiple viewpoints, and the river, or a short bus/tram journey to the main train station. I absolutely loved every minute of my stay here, and the host was absolutely lovely- even when I managed to have issues with the door at gone 10pm, she was nothing but helpful and kind! I couldn't recommend staying here more, it truly felt like a home away from home. I can't understand how it isn't fully booked constantly! (My second night, I was the only one there!) If you're looking for a place to stay in Bern, honestly look no further!

    Great location, lockers in the room (keys are provided by the property), spacious showers, clean. Easy check-in and check-out process. It was also quiet. The hostel had a kitchen, I did not check it out, but it`s nice to have the opportunity. Mirror and sink in the room.

    Great hosts, clean, quiet, lots of personal space and a laundry you could use. Close to public transport and host organised welcome cards that gave us free public transport. Great stay in an upmarket area, accessible by bus to old city. Would stay here again and highly recommend.

    Great location in a calm area, but at the same time relatively close to tram stations, 15 minutes by tram from the city center. The apartment was very comfortable and clean, the host was very communicative and flexible. I also appreciate the free ticket for local public transport.

    Th location; although quiet, still in the city centre. The Room and facilities were so well thought out. The communal lounging area and coffee station, I found my little spot in the window area overlooking the street. Annika, the host was most friendly, patient and helpful.

    The staff were really attentive and helpful, letting us keep bags at the hostel before check-in and providing us with plenty information on what to do while we were at Bern. Great location, just by the old city centre The double bedroom was basic but clean, along with the shared toilet and bathroom.

    The location was charming and quaint- only an 8 min walk from the Bear park with beautiful views of the city. It sits on a hill, so even the bus ride to and from the city were nice. Also, Evelyn is such a kind and gracious host! I highly recommend staying here. This is her family home and very well kept. The garden is lovely to sit in. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and were always clean. The shared bathroom and kitchen were not a problem at all, I only had to share it with one other person.

    Great location. This is a basic hotel but if all you are looking for is a cheap (for Swiss) place to just sleep for the night, this place is great. A courtyard room is quieter than the rooms facing the main road. All in all very good.

    The hostel is very well located in the city with close proximity to the city center and yet very quiet area. The room was spacious enough with a lot of day light (big windows). There is a storage section in the hostel if you want to leave some luggage. The staff was very helpful and pleasant to interact with. We traveled for a wok. There is no hairdryer in the room, but the lovely receptionist was able to hep out. Overall, a very pleasant stay!
