Featuring free bikes and views of garden, artroom is a recently renovated guest house located in Bern, 700 metres from Bärengraben. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The property offers allergy-free units and is set 1.4 km from Münster Cathedral.

This was honestly a hidden gem! It was absolutely spotless, extremely comfortable, and had everything you need. The host also provides a fridge in the room which was super handy. Not only that, it was only a short walk from places like the Bear Pit, Old Town, multiple viewpoints, and the river, or a short bus/tram journey to the main train station. I absolutely loved every minute of my stay here, and the host was absolutely lovely- even when I managed to have issues with the door at gone 10pm, she was nothing but helpful and kind! I couldn't recommend staying here more, it truly felt like a home away from home. I can't understand how it isn't fully booked constantly! (My second night, I was the only one there!) If you're looking for a place to stay in Bern, honestly look no further!

The Ziegelhüsi Gastronomie & Hotel enjoys an easily accessible location on the main road in Stettlen, 100 metres from the Deisswil train and bus station, and 5 km east of the centre of Bern. It offers free WiFi.

All rooms in the Ziegelhüsi Hotel were newly renovated in 2022 and feature an en-suite bathroom and a TV.

The room was small but very comfortable. Everything looked brand new and with practical functionality. I would repeat it.

The charming Nydeck hotel at the east end of Bern's famous shopping lane offers you light and fully equipped rooms and superb views of the green hills and the Aare river.

The rooms feature comfortable easy chairs, parquet floors and bathrooms come with illuminated make-up mirrors. A continental breakfast is served every day.

Unique place, in the old town. Close to the river bank and the park with a beautiful view of the surroundings ideal for a short break in peace and quiet just a hundred meters from the city noise. It is a beautiful old building that has limitations, but I would not call it flaws, on the contrary.

    Excellent equipped apartment with everything one needs (even for longer stays). Host was really nice and attentive, check-in wasn't a problem. It's a walkable distance to the city center and station.

    The appartment had a lot of character and was very nicely decorated. The location was perfect for visiting Berne city centre. It was also very quiet and right next to a nice bakery for breakfast!

    The property was in a great location & very close to a tram station if you choose not to walk around this lovely city. The room was clean & all facilities were in perfect working order. We received the Bern transport card which was very handy & the host was informative & quick to reply to any queries.

    The hotel was closer to the railway station and the city centre than I had expected - about a 15-minute walk. However, Bern offers free public transport to people staying in the city, and the hotel contacts you before arrival to explain how to access this. The staff at reception were helpful. The room and the bed were comfortable, the WiFi was very good, a hairdryer was provided and the heating was efficient. It was very quiet at night.

    We arranged to meet the host at a specified time and he was punctual. The apartment is in a quiet residential area with parks nearby but only a 10 -15 minute walk to the main station,shopping, etc. The bed was comfortable and the pillows larger than most we have come across. The bathroom is small - no surprise -but the shower was hot. The kitchen was well-equiped, except for a corkscrew. The apartment is small, but well-organized. Out host explained how the stove worked, gave me the wifi password, etc.

    Good location on the quiet street. Not in the centre, but free public transport ticket is included! The bus stop is right around the corner. Breakfast wasn’t very varied, but all items were good quality. All common areas were super clean, probably one of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever stayed at.

    The hostel is very well located in the city with close proximity to the city center and yet very quiet area. The room was spacious enough with a lot of day light (big windows). There is a storage section in the hostel if you want to leave some luggage. The staff was very helpful and pleasant to interact with. We traveled for a wok. There is no hairdryer in the room, but the lovely receptionist was able to hep out. Overall, a very pleasant stay!

    Nice hotel in a very quiet distrit in Bern. The bus station is just in front of the hostel. As is típical in Switzerland you will get a transport ticket for bus and tram that covers the city center and the historical district. The breakfast is also good. I definetively recommend this hostel.
