10/10 Exceptional

The hotel boasts an excellent location right by the Aare River and adjacent to Bern’s Old Town, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing or riverside strolls. As a youth hostel, the rooms are simply furnished but clean and functional. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and they offered the option to reserve a parking space in advance. Since we were on a self-driving trip, parking had been a major concern, so having a reserved spot made our stay much more relaxed and enjoyable.

Great property and amazing location. Staff is great and understanding. For future travelers please remember the following, 1) Carry your own Soap else you have to buy it from the hotel. 2) Please remember to drop towels amd bed linen at checkout.
Ssaurabh, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hostel is family-friendly and it felt safe as a solo female traveller. There is a continental breakfast that is free. The staff was responsive to questions and multilingual if you are traveling internationally. The only downside is that parking is sparse since it is in the city's center. Other than that, it's a fantastic base since one can walk to restaurants/bars, shops, historical sites, and supermarkets.
JANIA VALERA, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The woman who worked at the front desk at this hotel was awful. She was so cold and standoffish and completely unhelpful, so we had a negative opinion of the place from the start. Positives: The hotel is in a nice area by the river, and the park across the street is extremely fun and lively with a nice cafe. We really enjoyed hanging out and eating there while we did some people watching. Negatives: Apart from the staff, the biggest issue with the hotel was the room we were given. It was very hot, no A/C, and our room didn't have a window. Unable to sleep without any air circulation, we had to pay another $75 to upgrade our room. The new room we were given had a window, but the toilet ran very loudly all night long. It sounded like someone was constantly taking a shower. The whole experience just felt like a bad joke, and we were so glad to move on after our 1-night stay.
