The hotel is 350 m from Bern and 10 km from Belp. Bern Airport is 10 km away; Zurich and Geneva Airports are each a 1h30 minute trip.

“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.”
