    There was noise, and we could not sleep well. The communication could have been better, and we only received a notice of possible noise in the property after booking. We wrote to them to ensure we won't get a noisy room. We did not get an answer and had two nights of unrest. When we mentioned it, the staff told us its because we responded through booking.com. It has a beautiful view, and the facility is fine. But I would not recommend this hotel if you are looking for a sleep-in. We felt they don't pay much attention to the needs of the guest.

    Nice view a.

    Room was advertised as having a window without direct sunlight, but wasn’t expecting the window to actually not open to the outside - was a window to a gap within the hotel so no fresh air. The “air conditioning” advertised actually wasn’t air conditioning, as confirmed by the concierge, so the room was very stuffy and warm. Not well advertised at all. Maintenance works started at 8:30am most days when we were warned it could be from 9am. Wasn’t aware of maintenance works until booking and was non refundable. Room to bathroom has a see through blacked out window, which is not ideal when staying with friends - wasn’t advertised.

    Nice, open and bright hotel, rooms nicely decorated and clean. Bed comfortable and nice features. Good location to the centre.

    extremely loud building work taking place that can be heard all over the hotel. when I questioned this with the staff one particular staff member was extremely smug in saying it’s in your confirmation, yet could not show me where on the website it stated this building work, bit hard to change when you book a non changeable rate and only see the building work once confirmed. they did give me a free upgrade to a higher floor but the tried to charge me for it first, and you could still hear the constant work even on a higher floor. really disappointing stay. very much a cookie cutter style hotel.

    good gun and good location

    The room was disappointing. Small, dark, and not comfy at all. The interior design could be much better.

    The location is perfect. From Tram Station Kursaal to Bahnhof you only need 5 min.

    Very rude reception desk staff, which made the start of my stay very unpleasant. Window views were just of the hotel corridors. Curtains were kept shut throughout the stay, as you can see directly into the room opposite. For the price of the hotel, simple things like toothpaste was not supplied.

    Location is 20 minutes walking distance from Bern train station.

    Be wary if you have a standard queen room you will not have any view, and instead you’ll have a very hot room and your window will open up into other hot rooms where people just talk/are loud. In addition to this, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and the pillows are so soft that you’re better off without them.

    The reception/entrance area is good and clean. The gym is very good. Location is 5min walk from centre.

    It's not that obvious when you book a room that the "no direct sunlight" means that the room's window opens inside the building, so you have view on the elevator (or the other way round ☹) so for 200 CHF you get an aquarium

    Breakfast is really good and the staff is nice

    The breakfast is way overpriced. Charging CHF 29 for a buffet that offers nothing out of the ordinary is simply too much.

    The AC was not functioning very well and it was impossible to open a window due to the external noise level. The allocated room was in the "back" of the building, hence from the only window we looked into the back of the "front building" of the hotel - no view at all. The bathroom has only a tinted window towards the bedroom and only blocks out limited light coming from the bathroom, so in order not to disturb and wake up your partner at night, you cannot switch on the bathroom lights. Poor layout design.

    The location with excellent in close walking proximity to the historical center of town
