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!

Large room, the garden is beautiful and well setup for having a quiet space, the kitchen is set up with everything required, bathroom and toilet were spacious and clean … Evelyn is very easy to communicate with and was very informative when I arrived and in letting me know when the other room on the floor would be occupied…Evelyn was also very helpful on my last night in phoning taxi companies to book for the following morning… I enjoyed my stay here very much. The location was handy for walking to and from the city, and the attractions that I wanted to see … it is close to the river and a lot of scenic places to see and walk around.. Bern is quite hilly so for moving about with luggage, a taxi or bus is suggested …

    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.

    A very good hostel for a very fair price (even a towel is included!). You also get the Bern Ticket which is valid for two days and breakfast is included. Breakfast is very basic but it's still fair considering the price.
