"The hotel has a great location, right next to the train station. It's only two stops from Bern Central Station, about a 15-minute walk. Since I was driving, there was an extra charge of 30 CHF per day for parking, and charging stations also cost extra.I stayed for two days, and the staff were very friendly. However, I was surprised to find that when I returned from my meeting on the first day, my room hadn't been cleaned, my coffee and tea hadn't been replenished, and even the trash hadn't been emptied. I emailed the front desk, and the lady on duty that day quickly brought me clean towels, replenished coffee and tea, and apologized.This surprised me, because according to the usual practice of all hotels, rooms for consecutive stays should be cleaned and tidied daily. Does this hotel have some unique reason? This should be an important reminder for other guests."
"The room is warmly furnished and well equipped, there is a warm light on the door, and then there are convenient hangers and tables that allow you to easily hand things in your hands, just like returning home!
Every furniture is placed very carefully, there are small snacks, candy and mineral water, the small restaurant can cook by itself, tools and seasonings are complete. The details of the careful layout are displayed everywhere, I like it very much, I will stay here next time I come to Switzerland.
The self-check-in information is detailed and there is no trouble."
"The staff was very polite and willing to answer questions and taught me how to get to the city center by car,
Apartments are not far from the tourist area. If you take the car for about 6 minutes, the shift of the car is also very dense, but because the house is near the suburbs, it is inevitable that some small insects will enter the room because they are on the light."
"The room is spacious, and the location is excellent. Bus route 10, right downstairs, takes you directly to the main attractions and Bern train station (the stop is called Schonburg). After checking in, you can apply for a visitor card, which allows you to use public transport for free."
"The space was much bigger than I expected and very clean. For the price, it offered incredible value for money compared to other places I've stayed in Europe. There's also a sparkling water and hot water dispenser, and a common room. Overall, I had a very positive experience.
Transportation: The only potential drawback is that reaching the train station requires two transfers, as there's no direct route. The journey, including transfers, takes approximately 25 minutes. Apparently, road construction over the past few months has caused the originally direct routes to be diverted, and it seems these roadworks won't conclude until the end of 2025. When I made my booking, the construction hadn't started, and I only became aware of it upon arrival. If this is a concern for you, I recommend checking Google Maps when you book to confirm whether the roadworks have finished."
"Location is 10-12 minutes from city centre by tram and about the same for major train station should you wish to do day trips to Belp, Thun etc.
Room is clean and staff is friendly although they keep chasing you for your room number if you get breakfast too (I did for all my mornings).
Room is ok, bed is comfortable but heads up if you face the tram you might hear the outdoor noise until midnight or so.
Reception staff speak good English and is helpful if you need any suggestions for your trip."
"The hotel is very beautiful. It is the most satisfactory hotel in this European trip. It should be an old hotel with a long history. The staff is warm and thoughtful. When we arrived at the hotel, we put our luggage at the front desk a little early. When we went back to check in, the luggage had been put in the room. It was very considerate. The room was very clean. The hotel business was very good and many people ate in the restaurant every day. The location of the hotel is quite good. Although it is a distance from the city center, it is not a problem because the hotel will provide free transportation cards according to the number of days of stay. There is a No. 6 bus at the door to the city center, which is very convenient. The only thing is that there is no air conditioning. It will be hot in summer. It is very cool to open the windows at night, but it is noisy. So if you close the windows to sleep in summer, it will be a bit stuffy. Although the hotel thoughtfully put a fan, it is said that air conditioning is not allowed in Swiss hotels. It is probably because we live in a rooftop room, which is a bit hot. In short, everything is good and we are very satisfied~"
"The front desk staff were really helpful, informing us about free transport tickets and recommending places to visit. Parking was a bonus! It was free during our stay, though the parking lot is a bit small with narrow spaces, but that wasn't a big deal. The location is convenient, about a ten-minute drive to the Old Town.
The room was spacious, facing the Ferris wheel. It could get a little noisy at night, but it wasn't too disruptive."
"Loved the free drinks offered in the fridge
They also gave me chocolate for my birthday even though i didn’t even inform them
Convenient location in front of tram station"

GGuest UserI stayed one night here on my way from Paris to Interlaken. I booked it at the last minute, so I didn't have high expectations, but it turned out to be the best place to stay on my trip! First of all, everything was spotless, and there was nothing lacking. The room amenities were sufficient, and they even provided a water bottle, backpack, and umbrella for use during my stay. Breakfast was included free of charge, and there were about four kinds of cheese.
It's close to Bern station, the area is safe, and all the reception staff were friendly and helpful, making for a very comfortable stay. If I ever come back to Bern, I will definitely choose this place again!
JJass_30I had a wonderful stay at Youth Hostel Bern. Everything about this place was excellent. The location is perfect — very close to the main railway station, and buses and trams are easily available, which made traveling around the city super convenient.
The hostel itself is very nice, neat, and clean. The rooms were comfortable, and the bedding was fresh, tidy, and well arranged. Bathrooms and toilets were extremely clean, which made the stay even more comfortable.
The environment of the hostel is pleasant and welcoming. On top of that, the breakfast was superb with great options to start the day.
Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend Youth Hostel Bern to anyone visiting the city.
GGuest UserLocation was great. The train station at your doorstep. Staff were helpful. I voiced my concern about heating and a light that was blinking and all concerns were addressed quickly. All in all, a great stay and staff were well trained and based on my conversations with them, they had been working there for a long time, hence the knowledge and level of service. One thing though, is that the lighting in the room could be improved; that would be really helpful for those coming on business trips and working on their laptops.
GGuest Userplace are in center of bern. everything is nearby and walking distance , can save more pennies . you dont need an cab at all. railways is next, even beautiful viewpoint is just 10 mins walk. the clock tower just 5 mins walk. and so easy to check in. all is just on ur mobile phone apps. happy with my stay. with our spacious room. i dont have proper photos. since we have early check out. but is looks way more bigger than picture. can accomodate even 5 person in bed . it says double but i think both bed are queen size. 🤣🥰❤️
so comfy bed too.
FfudanjxOne of the few hotels in the area that offers family rooms. However, its underground parking garage is incredibly narrow and terrifying; my Mercedes GLE almost got stuck in the roundabout when entering. The rims still sustained minor scratches. Thankfully, the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, assisting me out of the underground garage and allowing me to park in front of the hotel.
GGuest UserA great little find, right next to the train station and only 1 stop from the city. Fab amenities, modern and well maintained, however the check-in process was a nightmare. Extremely difficult to navigate. We booked through trip.com and received no prior comms from kook as what to do we arrived as it doesn't have a check-in/front desk. There were 4 other couples struggling to enter/check-in when we arrived, so it wasn't just us that found it extremely difficult. I also didn't like the idea of leaving a digital copy of my passport, where ID theft and cyber hacking is more common these days. Parking is extra and chargeable at CHF2.50 per hour but there is blue zone parking a short walk away. The lady/teception next door at Moxy was extremely helpful. Next time, I'd probably book Moxy instead!
PPepper LMHSpacious and luxurious room with huge bathroom. Conveniently located next to public transportation, attractions and shopping. Restaurant at Sky Terrace was overpriced and didn’t taste nice. Restaurant Jack’s at ground floor has nice ambience and serves nice steaks.
CChiayeeAmazing place, kitchen has everything, microwave, salt and pepper (just no oil) utensils and cooking equipment is all in good condition.
Only downside is there’s no air conditioning, but the staffs were nice enough to provide me a fan to put in the room. Appreciate the friendly staffs for helping me with the check in process and i was able to check in early thankfully.
GGuest UserHotel is in an ideal location with a very short walk from a nearby train station. The Hotel has a lovely old feel to it but is very clean. The breakfast is continental style but with enough on offer. The reception staff were very friendly and extremely helpful and positive about the City. The Hotel offers a pop up bar across the road. Very nice stay and the only complaint was soft pillows.
