What guests think

At Novotel Bern Expo, guests praise clean, comfortable rooms, friendly service, and the handy tram stop for quick trips to the old town, but mention limited restaurant or bar hours, occasional AC or heating problems, and missing minibars.

The location next to the expo grounds and arenas is convenient, and free public-transport passes are often provided. Breakfast is widely liked, though several reviewers found it pricey or with limited variety. Parking is available on site but comes at an extra cost, and a few guests noted tight spaces and occasional service lapses. Overall, expect a modern, practical base with straightforward comforts.

We enjoyed our stay in this Novotel, it is and feels new, comfortable room of good size, very courteous staff and we were given free public transportation during our stay, the tram stop to the old town was just a few meters away which made it very convenient. Parking like in most hotels in Europe wasn’t included and was somewhat expensive, but that would be my only critique.

The hotel is very poor value for money. There are no additional facilities at the hotel. No room service. The restaurant was never open. Poorly staffed. The duty manager over the xmas period was super rude. I have travelled extensively and would rate it a 3 star hotel at best. Would never return and never recommend.

El hotel es correcto, y es una pena que no tenga restaurante los fines de semana. Lo que es excepcional es el personal de recepción: tanto a la llegada como con un problema que tuvimos como a la salida, su desempeño fue extraordinario, muy por encima de lo esperable. Enhorabuena.

I really enjoyed my stay here! The hotel was really nice. The room was comfortable, and we got complimentary items from the minibar the whole stay. I don’t know if that’s standard, but we enjoyed it. Breakfast was delicious! They have a really nice buffet. It’s not cheap, but it was really good. We were told restaurant is closed on the weekends, which was surprising. The location is really convenient. There is a bus and tram stop right outside, which makes it easy to get anywhere, and you get a code from the front desk that lets you ride the buses and trams in Bern for free through the Bern Welcome app. The convention center and arena are across the street, so if you are going to an event there, it’s a great spot at which to stay. It wasn’t that long of a bus/train ride from the train station in Bern, either. I definitely would stay here again!

Stayed two nights with family. Everything was clean and we had tea coffee in the room. The only strange thing was that the toilet was separate to the shower and sink so you had to go to the toilet then come out and wash your hands in the shower room. I don't know how this arrangement would suit anyone, are they expecting people not to wash their hands after using the toilet? Didn't expect this from novotel but otherwise we had an amazing stay. There's ample parking on site, you do have to pay extra for it though. It's close to transport links and not far from any of the restaurants and sites we went to. It was absolutely freezing with heavy fog the whole time we were there but the room was always cosy and hot water available, no issues. We didn't eat anything at the hotel so cannot comment on it but the dining and reception areas downstairs have very nice decor and ambience. Check in and check out was a breeze and all staff were very helpful and professional. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again if I visit Bern again.

On nous a donc donné un drap une couette et seulement un oreiller pour le lit de nos enfants. Nous ne trouvons pas vraiment cela acceptable de la part d’un hôtel 4 étoiles.
