War nur hier weil es nahe der Messehalle ist.
Pros:

Frühstück war gut.
Die Lage bei der Expo war perfekt.
Bin jedes Jahr da, wird aber immer teurer.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer war schmutzig, die Abläufe verstopft und es hat schlecht gerochen, wenn man das Wasser angestellt hat.
Die Dusche war einmal heiss und dann wieder kalt...

Prático em todos os aspetos, e um ótimo ponto de partida para conhecer Berna
Pros:

Hotel simples e prático, cumprindo com o standard que se espera de um hotel Ibis. Quartos funcionais e hotel muito prático, localizado mesmo ao lado da estação de tram (Guisanplatz Expo), sendo que o acesso ao centro a pé não é difícil (10 min até ao Rosengarten e Bärenpark, ou 15 min até ao centro). Usufruímos do estacionamento no hotel (22 € por 24 h), o que foi muito útil (nunca retirámos o carro do estacionamento e andámos a pé e de tram). Foi ótimo usufruir do Bern Ticket (oferecido) e poder utilizar os transportes públicos na cidade.

Cons:

Nada verdadeiramente relevante a assinalar.

Agradable
Pros:

En jeneral todo esta muy bien y si volvemos por esas rutas volveremos al hotel. La sorpesa fue que el parking es gratuito para motos, no se si tambien lo es para coches.
