Hotel National Bern

The hotel's location is perfect, just a few minutes walk from the city centre, a moderately elegant and clean place to stay. The staff is nice and the hotel manager at my arrival was super kind and helpful. I had some issues with the room (detailed below) but they found solution for everything.

During our trip, we stayed at a wonderful hotel in Bern, and it was a fantastic experience. The hotel’s location was absolutely perfect, right in the heart of the city center. It made exploring Bern so easy, as everything we wanted to see and do was just a short walk away. The price was also very reasonable, especially considering its prime location. It felt like excellent value for the convenience and comfort provided. The hotel itself was clean and well-maintained, with cozy rooms that made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, this hotel in Bern was an ideal choice for its combination of affordability, comfort, and unbeatable location. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in the city!

Room was small which was fine but I was given sole access to an outside space as well which was a treat. Everything in the room was perfect for my stay, tastefully decorated, very good quality bedding and linen, natural materials in the bathroom. The staff could not have been nicer; they were outstandingly helpful with everyone and multi- lingual. Breakfast offered a great range of fresh food in the traditional way. Transport was at the door.

An historic hotel with a 120+ year old lift to take us up to our floor. Very nostalgic. We ate dinner outside across the street where the hotel had a portable cafe set up and a small television for watching Euro 2024 football. Breakfasts in the hotel were plentiful, with lots of homemade breads.

We used Bern as a hub to do day-trips from over a four-day period, so the hotel's convenient location to the train station was great. A 5-6 minute walk. The location was also within a 10-minute walk to the Alstadt area. For inter-city tram transport, the stop was 30 seconds from the hotel's front door. The 120-year-old lift/elevator was a conversation piece. We found the room typical for European accommodations: small, concise, very clean, comfortable.
