Top Old City of Bern Hotel Reviews

Hotel National Bern

10/10 Excellent

"It is a wonderful old building, the lift is so original, all rooms vary so that may influence your stay. Most informative staff I ever met!!!! Helped us with free public transit & decide on what to visit. The breakfast had the largest Verity we encountered on this trip. Walking distance to everything."

Kreuz Bern Modern City Hotel

8/10 Good

"room was smaller than expected and DIFFICULT to get to. We had to walk through the breakfast room with our luggage to get to the room!!! And then you had to lug your bag up about 6 steps to get to the elevator to take you to your floor. Would not stay here again for that reason. Air conditioning cuts off at night."

Prize by Radisson, Bern City

8/10 Good

"There’s some kind of issue with the noise the doors make as they close. It sounds like they are closing right into your room. The air conditioning was on power save the whole time and it was warm in the room with no air circulation. It would have been nice if the window wasn’t locked shut. The robot pizza making machine didn’t work but wasn’t marked as broken. The rooftop bar was nice and bartender was very nice. Front desk staff were nice and helpful."
