This hotel is fantastic! It is the only hotel we stayed at out of 7 as we traveled across Switzerland that had air conditioning. Not only that, but the room was beautifully decorated, with herringbone floors, a modern design, and an ornate pale blue ceiling. It was a small room, but built-ins helped make the space flow efficiently. I’m not 100% sure what room type we were in. I’d booked a Boutique Room in the Annex, which per the description, said that it was not accessible via the main building. However, our room was definitely part of the main building, so I think we were in a different room type. Whatever it was, it was amazing! Our room had a fridge, safe, and fancy coffee machine (that took a few tries to figure out, even with instructions!). The bathroom was a good size and had a waterfall shower head and a lighted magnifying makeup mirror. We also had a balcony, with a charming view at the back of the building overlooking other beautiful historic buildings and rooftops (the entire old town is architecturally protected). I only wish we’d had chairs and a table on the balcony so we could have sat out there and enjoyed it more! The hotel is in a great location just a block away from the clock tower and a few minutes’ walk away from many restaurants and pubs. I loved that it has a Coop next door with an in-store restaurant. We had breakfast here each morning, and also ate a lunch and a dinner here. Super convenient and much more affordable than dining out in Switzerland! The other great thing about this hotel is that it has a beautiful rooftop bar. Note though, that when it is full the elevator will not let you go up. We tried this and wondered why we were pushing the elevator button for the bar, and nothing was happening. Eventually we went down to the front desk who clued us in. However, the receptionist overrode that and sent us up in the elevator to try our luck since we were hotel guests. One thing to note about the rooftop bar is that it is not entirely outside. It mostly is, but there is a small interior section with a bar and some tables, which came in super handy when it started pouring rain, forcing everyone inside. The only weird thing about this hotel is that when we first checked in, we had two facecloths, but after housekeeping cleaned our room the first morning, they never gave us facecloths again. They replaced all of the other towels but for some reason, never facecloths. Not a huge deal but something to note (I carry my own, just in case). We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

“A pleasant second stay at Best Western Plus Hotel Bern”

I had already stayed at this hotel in 2022, for my recent stay in Bern I decided to return to this establishment. I especially recommend it for its location in the heart of the old town of Bern.

I had already stayed at this hotel in 2022, for my recent stay in Bern I decided to return to this establishment. I especially recommend it for its location in the heart of the old town of Bern. If you arrive by car, like me, you can use the Metro car park at a special price for hotel guests. It takes 3-4 minutes from the Metro car park to the hotel on foot. I recommend booking directly with the hotel to enjoy a free drink in the pleasant hotel bar. This time I booked the cheapest room but I have to say that I was not disappointed: in the room everything you can expect from a 4-star hotel. Very good Rituals products in the bathroom. In the bathroom the somewhat curious choice of putting the shower and the toilet together....The breakfast varied enough but in my opinion compared to 2 years ago the quality has deteriorated. Quality and assortment of food should be reviewed at the breakfast buffe. All in all a pleasant stay in the federal capital!

“Nice stay, friendly staff”

We had a nice stay in this hotel. Staff were very friendly. Rooms and hotel were very clean. Room itself was small and the bathroom tiny and not hugely private. There was a patterned glass door, but not great. Shelf above the sink is in the way when cleaning your teeth!!! Aircon didn’t seem to work… more

We had a nice stay in this hotel. Staff were very friendly. Rooms and hotel were very clean. Room itself was small and the bathroom tiny and not hugely private. There was a patterned glass door, but not great. Shelf above the sink is in the way when cleaning your teeth!!! Aircon didn’t seem to work leaving the room stuffy. Beds and pillows were very comfortable and the shower was good. Food at the hotel was excellent, both dinner and breakfast.

“Clean, comfortable, central.”

A clean, comfortable and centrally located hotel. Good value for money, too. Water pressure in the large shower was great. Little Toblerones on the pillow on arrival a nice touch. Breakfast had lots of different things to choose from and good coffee.
