Modern and contemporary hotel in a good location right opposite a tram line.
Pros:

The location was excellent. Car park was a bonus, a bit tricky to navigate but at least they have one.
The hotel had a good mixture of business and tourism. Reception staff were excellent. Really fast glass lifts !

Cons:

The room had no view and no proper window. It looked over an odd internal corner. I don’t like not having a window, it makes a room feel ‘odd’

Pros:

Very rich breakfast, pleasant and friendly staff

Cons:

More then half the rooms have no direct sunlight. They feel awful. Images do not explicitly show that there are no windows to the outside.

Value for money
Pros:

The hotel was exceptionally clean and well-maintained throughout. A thoughtful touch was the complimentary in-room refreshments, including water, apple juice, and beer (two bottles of each), which added to the overall comfort of the stay.

The restaurant was lovely, offering a pleasant dining atmosphere and a respectable selection of wines. Additionally, I benefitted from a complimentary travel pass for buses and trams, making it convenient to explore the surrounding area.

Cons:

My room was located at the edge of the building and, as a result, did not offer a good view. Unfortunately, the hotel was fully booked, so a room change was not possible. The receptionist apologised and assured me that they would arrange a better room in advance for my next stay.

Last minute overbooked experience👎🏻
Pros:

I booked a two night stay on January 28 2026 , reservation QCLPGKPM, for two nights May 27-29 2026. I dedicated a lot of time and effort putting together my Swiss vacation selecting hotels close to the attractions and restaurants that I had included in my plans. On May 25, two days before my arrival and in middle of my Swiss vacation I got an email that they were overbooked and they were moving me to a sister hotel that was further away from the Bern City Center. This disrupted all my prior planning that was intended for a seamless and enjoyable Swiss vacation. I had booked 4 months prior for them to move me out two days before my arrival.

A terrible experience without ever reaching the hotel.
