2-Star Hotels in Berne

The reception was very helpful and courteous. The family room was very big and clean. My daughter loved the experience of the old elevator. Breakfast is simple but had everything needed. Locations was great for us … walking distance to everything.

The hotels in the center of Bern where I usually stay were all booked for at least one night of my stay at the end of August/early September. I knew that Ibis was new, so I thought I'd try it. It's quite convenient to the tram (no. 9), which the hotel can give you a free ticket for. The front desk staff were all quite helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet seemed expensive (Sfr 16), especially since items weren't kept filled. Then I found that the Ibis-Budget breakfast had the items I liked, was Sfr. 3 less expensive, and items were kept filled. I'm not sure if the cross-over is always possible, but it worked for my last day. And I found that for what was offered, the price was OK (coffee and a croissant at my favorite Glatz bakery were about Sfr 9; the hotel had muesli, rolls and croissants, and various types of coffee, plus juice and other options).

I spent two nights at Marthahaus hotel. It's located in a quite residential area. My room was on the second floor (which is considered 1st floor in Bern), with a window overlooking a courtyard. The window had shutters, which protected against the heat in a very hot summer. The room was spacious and furnished in a contemporary style. The bed and the pillow were comfortable, the sheets impeccable. I only wish there was a light summer blanket! My room had an in-suite bathroom. A hairdryer was provided. There were many healthy options for breakfast. Marthahaus is close to the railway station : a 15-minute walk across the bridge. There's also a bus stop nearby. I found a pleasant route to the old town: down to Aare river through the botanical garden, across a pedestrian bridge, up the stairs leading to Kornhausplatz. During my stay I never had an issue with wi-fi. The hotel staff very friendly and always on site.

It's was a wonderful trip to Bern and also Moxy Hotel. This is my first time in Moxy and my expectation was that it will be amazing friendly hotel and it was more then amazing. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this hotel. When we went to check in, we got a WARM welcome from reception staff member. They explained about hotel, Bern ticket and the old town. The man at the reception gave us a voucher for a welcome drink which was very nice. Room was super cute but we did not found a laundry, but there was an ironing room. The thing which I loved the most in a room was a welcome message on a TV!! Overall, I recommend this hotel for everyone!!!

I was in Bern Youth Hostel for two nights and I have to say that it is a super address for a short stay in Bern. The booking and payment in advance was completely unproblematic. The staff was super friendly, took time to explain things and you could even pray nicely. The rooms are spacious, clean and great bonus: there is one box for everyone that you can close with the room card. Breakfast is inclusive and it is more than rich: coffee, musli, bread, cheese, fruit as much as you want. With the expensive prices in Bern, this is an absolute enjoyment to start in the day. You get the price including the Bern Card 2. Class with which you can use all public transportation (including the belt track). I have only two small things to defect: bathroom and toilet were built in the staircase and very narrow. And the mattresses were absolutely through. In addition to these small things, I can only recommend a visit because of the location. The hostel is located directly in the city centre and still is pleasant and quiet right next to the Aare.

The Kreuz Bern Modern City Hotel is located in the old town of Bern. It the nearings of the hotel there are lots of shops and restaurants other than some of the best places in Bern such as the Bundeshaus. Everything is perfectly reachable within a walk of max 30 min or by simply using public transportat (the hotels had a lot of bus and tram stops at around 4 minutes and the Bern central station at 10 minutes). We were also provided with the Bernticket, with whom we had free access to public transport in Bern. Breakfast is buffet style with plenty of choice. Rooms are nice and comfy. One side note about the rooms is that the double bed was a bit uncomfortable since it was composed by two single beds placed togheter. The hotel provides you also with a variety of ”entertainment” rooms such as the playroom with a mini pool table and a table football. Unfortunately the room is pretty small and play pool is difficult. Also the pool table is inclined, making the plays inaccurate. Other than this the hotel provides also a small fitness room with nice if you want to have a bit of training (of course it's not a professional gym but its enough). In the fitness room there is also a small sauna and a shower. From the fitness room you have also access to the rooftop from which you have a beatufiul view on the city.

First the good things. It is across the street, in front of the train station at Bern. It was perfect for us as we were planning to (and did) go to a different city every day. They also gave us a voucher so we could use all Bern public transportation during our stay. I dont know if it is a standard in Bern, but it was welcomed. On the other hand, dont expect the hotel to be a luxury or modern one. The hotel is simple, to put it nicely. At some hours, during the day, the entrance had a bad smell. We did not book the breakfast, but, when we checked it, it turned out to be a wise decision. Room heating can only be controlled by opening windows. Pluggin laptops, phones and other things that needed charging was an exercise in logistics. The people at the front desk were all over the spectrum. The lady who received us was incredibly nice. That was it. Everybody else at the desk seemed to dislike their job and were more than willing to let you feel it.

Taking the hotel at face value and considering the price we paid (I think quite a good deal from hotels.com) we were really pleased with our stay. La Pergola isn’t in the middle of the city centre, but it’s quite close and well connected by public transport (which they give you a free pass for)! We parked our car there and got around on busses. The man at reception kindly didn’t charge us for parking as there was almost no demand for it that night. The service staff in general were really nice. The hallways and common spaces are a bit bleak, but functional - it’s clear they’ve saved money here. The sound isolation isn’t the best either. But the room itself is actually great! Big enough for suitcases and stuff to be strewn around because of a clever use fo space. Proper outdoor blinds for a good night’s sleep on the comfy king size bed. Body wash available, nothing fancy but does the job. Honestly, for what we expected, it surpassed, so we were happy with our stay. Is it the best hotel in the world, no. Do you get what you pay for in expensive but beautiful Bern, yes. Good for those on budget!

The worst experience of my life! I planned to visit the beautiful city of Bern with my family a few years ago. The visit to the city was wonderful and to top it off I chose a four star “Boutique Hotel” to stay with my family and have a great experience. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN! The hotel put my family in a room on the top floor in the ATTIC with small windows and no air circulation. To solve this, the “four star Boutique Hotel” put a fan in the room. Apart from this problem, the room had a hydraulic problem and the hotel found a very creative solution to solve the problem! The entrance door to the room was cut and through it passed a tube that entered through the outside of the wall reaching the bathroom with the door also cut! a work of art that unfortunately does not match the expectations I had for a “Boutique Hotel” in Bern - Switzerland! A very sad experience! I do not recommend this hotel to anyone! ( attached photos )

This hotel is ideal for a long weekend or business trip, located as it is within easy walking distance from the station and close to a bus stop from where you can visit all you want to see of this lovely historic capital of Switzerland. The hotel bedrooms are on the small side and basically furnished, but they are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The breakfast is excellent - the best I have enjoyed in hotels across Switzerland - and the breakfast room is spacious. Above all the personnel were friendly and helpful - when the train network broke down on the day of my departure they allowed me to return to my room to rest!
