The hotel is situated in an excellent location, just a short walk from the main railway station and the vibrant Old Town, surrounded by plenty of bars and shops. The rooms are clean and tidy, although the noise from adjacent rooms can be quite bothersome. While the staff addressed noise concerns, it’s not ideal for a restful stay. Overall, it's a decent spot for a short visit, but keep in mind the sound levels.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the train station and close to the Old Town with plenty of shops and bars. The rooms were modern and clean, but they had a strange smell and weren’t very soundproof, which made my stay a bit uncomfortable. The service was friendly, but it was limited to certain hours, and I found it a bit noisy at night. Overall, it's decent value for money if you prioritize location over tranquility.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it had a great location near the Old Town of Bern, the room I had was rather small compared to my friends' room, which felt a bit disappointing. The staff was friendly but had limited hours, and I found the dining experience average, lacking some variety. Overall, it was a decent stay, though there were definitely room for improvements.
