    Breakfast unfortunately was not good at all. You do not have any variation if you don’t care for sausage, bacon and lots of sweets.

    Rooms, cleanliness and location were great.

    The "courtyard" room is not on an outside courtyard but on a sunless gap between two buildings. This is a bit strange. Also I think the matress in the room, its time to replace. Bit lumpy.

    The mini bar was well stocked and generous. The bathroom was well designed, great water pressure, plenty of towels and I liked the quality of the toiletries. Coffee maker and teapot in room with a nice selection of coffees and teas. Housekeeping kept everything tidied and fresh. Free public transport in Bern a big plus.

    I only had time for one night at the hotel. I will definitely make it my go-to Hotel the next time I am in Bern.

    The Hotel, staff and facilities were amazing. It was the little details that made my stay so enjoyable. Amazingly soft towels, best hotel blow dryers, and great mattress. Make sure you opt for the breakfast! It was over the top. I decided to stay at the hotel for dinner and had the asian inspired buffet...Spectacular! The tram is literally right outside the door.

    I am totally satisfied just except when check out my credit card seems not successfully be transacted, this maybe makes the reception lady feel upset and impolite. personally I feel she should be more patient. and later another lady friendly resolved this small case. But still this is a nice hotel and recommended.

    very new hotel and quiet environment. near to city centre and nice view to the church.

    The only downside was the bathroom having a glass window into the room, which was not ideal for sibling who were sharing.

    The room layout was great. The standard room was larger than expected and was well received. The free mini bar was a nice added benefit. whilst limited it was a bonus.

    I loved the facilities, there is a parking garage, two bars/restaurants, and even a casino in the complex. Btw both the restaurants serve top quality food. The location is also remarkable, just one tram stop (or 7 minutes walking) away from Bern's main street.
