Pros:

Sehr gut gelegen im Zentrum von Bern sind alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Außerdem gibt es gute Möglichkeiten mit dem Nahverkehr auch entferntere Ausflugsziele bequem zu erreichen. Das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet (funktionales Bad und angenehmes Bett!). Das Frühstück war in Auswahl und Qualität gut. Das Personal war freundlich und kompetent.

Cons:

Der Blick über die Dächer der Altstadt wurde von starker Verschmutzung der Fensterbank durch eine anscheinend große Taubenpopulation getrübt. Allerdings habe ich tatsächlich nur eine Taube während meines Aufenthaltes gesehen. Lärmbelästigung gab es folglich keine!!!
