Top hotels in Monbijou
Hotel National Bern
Everything was great just very noisy street

Hotel La Pergola
Room was beautiful and the couch is much smaller than you think. The breakfast was delicious and the coffee was even better. I had 2-3 cappuccinos. Shops are a 5 min walk + but the hotel itself is in a safe area!

Everything in the hotel was great, except for the shower. It only has a curtain, and water splashes all over the bathroom.
