Vaut le détour pour l'ascenseur à l'ancienne
Pros:

L'emplacement est très bien pour visiter la ville. le petit déjeuner est bien. L'ascenseur qui a 120 ans est une attraction intéressante. Personnel sympathique et accueillant.

Cons:

La chambre était petite, les lampes de chevet ne fonctionnaient pas, la porte laissait passer le bruit des autres clients.

Great hotel in the centre of Bern.
Pros:

We come every Easter. Great service.

The elevator is a bit small. If you aren't so good with stairs it might not be a good fit.

Pros:

Hotel comodo per visitare il centro storico e per raggiungere la stazione. Utile il pass per usare gratuitamente i mezzi pubblici. La stanza era spaziosa e carina con una piccola zona per bere un caffè o un thè.

Cons:

Un po' scomoda la doccia, con il saliscendi che non funzionava bene. La colazione al buffet varia ma non eccezionale.

Central, historique, pratique.
Pros:

Très central et facile d'accès. Maison de caractère avec un certain charme. Bel ascenseur à l'ancienne. Chambre de bonne taille. Bouilloire dans la chambre appréciable.

Cons:

Petite fenêtre, peu de lumière. Chambre mal isolé, bruit des clients au-dessus grès gênant, pas mal de bruit aussi depuis le couloir. il faudrait mieux préciser que la réception ferme à 21.00h. Heureusement qu'il y a également l'accès par le restaurant!
