“I see a property striving for a blend of British elegance and Swiss practicality in the heart of Bern's Old City, a location that undeniably shines. Complimentary bikes are a thoughtful touch for exploring the UNESCO-listed surroundings. However, some reports suggest a disconnect between ambition and execution, particularly regarding room upkeep.”
