Breakfast is frequently praised for quality and value. The walkable setting by the Aare River and near the center is convenient for sightseeing, though the uphill route back to the station can be steep. Several reviews note dated decor and very dark interiors, with occasional issues reported in shared bathrooms. Expect a straightforward, well-located hostel stay.

The hotel boasts an excellent location right by the Aare River and adjacent to Bern’s Old Town, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing or riverside strolls. As a youth hostel, the rooms are simply furnished but clean and functional. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and they offered the option to reserve a parking space in advance. Since we were on a self-driving trip, parking had been a major concern, so having a reserved spot made our stay much more relaxed and enjoyable.

It wasn't worth the price and I wouldn't stay here again. Check in and check out were easy, but the beds in the dorms are first-come first-served and are not assigned, so it's difficult to accommodate disabilities. There is no privacy curtain, and the room lights are quite bright. You have to make your bed yourself, and the bathrooms are at the opposite end of the building. The bathrooms were absolutely filthy and the toilets full every time I went in. The lockers were nice because they were activated by your key card, but with the large windows, no bed curtains, and so many people in a room, there's no privacy to change unless you use the bathrooms, (which were not a good option). The mattresses are nothing more than a few inches of memory foam and you can feel the wood frame underneath. The staff did not mention that dinner in the cafeteria/restaurant has to be reserved in advance (they apparently don't have enough meals for the whole hotel), which was really upsetting to discover at dinnertime when it was pouring rain outside. The only saving grace is that breakfast is included and it's a full buffet, which is nice, but it's not worth the rest of the stay. I wouldn't recommend.

This hostel is family-friendly and it felt safe as a solo female traveller. There is a continental breakfast that is free. The staff was responsive to questions and multilingual if you are traveling internationally. The only downside is that parking is sparse since it is in the city's center. Other than that, it's a fantastic base since one can walk to restaurants/bars, shops, historical sites, and supermarkets.

The woman who worked at the front desk at this hotel was awful. She was so cold and standoffish and completely unhelpful, so we had a negative opinion of the place from the start. Positives: The hotel is in a nice area by the river, and the park across the street is extremely fun and lively with a nice cafe. We really enjoyed hanging out and eating there while we did some people watching. Negatives: Apart from the staff, the biggest issue with the hotel was the room we were given. It was very hot, no A/C, and our room didn't have a window. Unable to sleep without any air circulation, we had to pay another $75 to upgrade our room. The new room we were given had a window, but the toilet ran very loudly all night long. It sounded like someone was constantly taking a shower. The whole experience just felt like a bad joke, and we were so glad to move on after our 1-night stay.

It was very hot, no A/C, and our room didn't have a window. Unable to sleep without any air circulation, we had to pay another $75 to upgrade our room. The new room we were given had a window, but the toilet ran very loudly all night long. It sounded like someone was constantly taking a shower. The whole experience just felt like a bad joke, and we were so glad to move on after our 1-night stay.

리셉션 직원 매우 친절하고 여러 가지 정보를 주셔서 도움이됨. 무료 조식은 매우 훌륭하고 맛있음. 매트리스가 너무 낡아서 누우면 엉덩이가 바닥에 닿는 듯 불편했음

Excellent, walkable location by the Aare River and near the Old Town/center, convenient for sightseeing. A few note the uphill walk back to the station can be steep.

The hotel boasts an excellent location right by the Aare River and adjacent to Bern’s Old Town, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing or riverside strolls. As a youth hostel, the rooms are simply furnished but clean and functional. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and they offered the option to reserve a parking space in advance. Since we were on a self-driving trip, parking had been a major concern, so having a reserved spot made our stay much more relaxed and enjoyable.

This hostel is family-friendly and it felt safe as a solo female traveller. There is a continental breakfast that is free. The staff was responsive to questions and multilingual if you are traveling internationally. The only downside is that parking is sparse since it is in the city's center. Other than that, it's a fantastic base since one can walk to restaurants/bars, shops, historical sites, and supermarkets.

宿泊した日が建国記念日であったためか夜まで賑やかな街でした！食堂ではワイワイ賑わっていましたが、部屋は静かに過ごすことができ不自由なかったです(^^) ベルン駅からホテルは下り坂、ホテルからベルン駅は上り坂。結構急な坂道になっているためキャリーケースを利用されてる際はご注意ください。

No self service laundry. Beautiful and convenient location. Phenomenal breakfast. Sink in the room. No AC. One fan that could not reach everyone. Showers were not segregated by gender. No shelves in the room. Friendly staff. I would stay there again. Please ban smoking anywhere on property. Smoke drifts, even when done on patio
