“From what I explored, this is a modern, environmentally conscious hotel that stands out for its practical location near Bern Expo, supported by those free transport passes. The spacious, air-conditioned rooms, some equipped with sofa beds, reflect a family-friendly atmosphere, which I also noticed in their tailored children's amenities. I particularly appreciate the on-site restaurant's commitment to diverse dietary needs, an inclusivity any guest can value.”

The room included a water machine on the floor. It dispensed a variety of water. I found this very convenient. Breakfast started early at 06:30. The staff was friendly. I stayed in the Junior Suite. The room was super clean, exceeding expectations. The hotel provided free city passes. Public transport was easily accessible. Tram line 9 took me to the city center in 10-15 minutes.

The room window could not be fully closed.

Excellent Hotel Experience!

spacious roompublic transportwater coolergreat shower

My room was quite large and spacious. I found public transport very accessible. It was just across the street. I really appreciated the water cooler available for refilling bottles. The shower facility was great with good water pressure.

The underground parking spots are indeed too narrow, it was a challenge to maneuver my car.
