What guests think

At NH Bern The Bristol, travelers consistently praise the central Old Town location and genuinely friendly staff, while feedback on rooms and amenities varies, with many finding them comfortable and modern but others noting small sizes, dated elements, and noise.

Cleanliness is generally rated highly, though several guests mention stained carpets, worn walls, or bathrooms needing deeper cleaning and better maintenance. Breakfast is frequently appreciated, the bar and lounge are popular, and there is a small gym, yet dining hours and offerings can feel limited or closed at times. Room climate control and bathroom layouts draw mixed feedback, with occasional weak or absent A/C in heat and compact sinks or showers. Best for travelers who prioritize convenience and city access over extensive on-site amenities.

Not at NH Standards. Rooms are furnished with cheap forniture. During the second day of stay (a Sunday) the room was poorly cleaned. The worst was that the Bar of the Hotel is not running in Sunday so you can not eat nor drink absolutely nothing all the day. It is not a 4 stars hotel at all.

Very nice boutique hotel in a great location. Just around the corner from the main train station. Lots of restaurants and Old Town within walking distance. The bar had a nice interior design. The hotel can give you a free Bern transit pass (program run by the city of Bern).

Points positifs : personnel gentil et accueillant, localisation et grande chambre. Points négatifs : réservation introuvable (première fois que ça arrive alors que je fais des réservations de la même façon depuis des années). Dans la chambre, en plus du lit il y avait un canapé lit déplié et préparé pour accueillir deux personnes en plus qui prennait trop de place et dont on n'avait pas besoin. La salle de bain était adaptée aux personnes handicapées et n'était pas pratique, une flaque d'eau se formait quand on prennait une douche. Le rideau de douche était à moitié décroché. Salle de bains sale (moisissures, tâches de calcaire et j'ai même trouvé un cheveu sur le mur) et équipements en mauvais état. La chambre n'était pas propre non plus (tâches sur le rideau, salissures sur les murs, poussière sur la tête de lit) et elle n'était pas entretenue (peinture arrachée, trous sur les murs) Prix trop élevé (300 €) pour des prestations médiocres.

Das Personal an der Rezeption war bei jeder Begegnung super! Die Lage direkt in der Innenstadt und nur einen Katzensprung vom Bahnhof entfernt, ist umschlagbar. Überall sind Sehenswürdigkeiten, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Das Zimmer wartet mit eigener Nespresso-Maschine und Tee auf, auch war Wasser zur Verfügung in der Minibar. Diese Annehmlichkeiten rechtfertigen sicher laut Sterne-Guide die 4 Sterne. Es ist jedoch auf den Etagen und im Zimmer selbst ein gewisser Renervierungsstau nicht von der Hand zu weisen. Der Stoffbezug an der Wand vom Bett war z.B. teils abgewetzt. Schlecht hat der Zimmerservice abgeschnitten: ein Mal wurde eine Toilettenpapierrolle mit 3 Blättern - hübsch gefaltet - hängen gelassen und ein anderes Mal wurde keine zweite Rolle nachgelegt. Außerdem hingen an der Wand mit der Dachschräge seit meiner Ankunft Staubfussel auf Augenhöhe und die hängen da sicherlich auch schon noch viel länger. Da wird nicht richtig danach hingeguckt, schade. Nur weil eine Wand nicht zum Standard-Putzprogramm gehört, kann man das nicht einfach außer Acht lassen.

The people working here were great, but we just completed 35 nights across 9 cities staying at 4 and 5 star hotels 80% were booked through hotels.com. This NH Hotel is NOT a 4 star hotel as represented by Hotels.com. The rug at the front door of the hotel was dirty and ratty. The walls and base boards in the room were extensively dinged and scuffed. There was mildew growing on the grout in the shower. The plastic seal at the bottom of the shower door was caked with nasty brown scum. I couldn’t tell if the indoor/outdoor type carpet was clean because it was a brown/green color and there was a strange oder in the room. And finally, when we arrived in the room, I went to use the bathroom and there was a p-bic hair sitting on the lid of the toilet. We were charged by hotels.com over $500 for the first night and I think over $300 for the second night. I felt lied to and taken advantage of by Hotels.com, but I want to make it clear that this hotel’s employees were wonderful.

The showerhead was the most massive showerhead I’ve ever seen in a bathroom and it felt amazing.

As someone who travels a lot, I can definitely say that this hotel doesn't qualify as a 4-star hotel. It's actually a 3-star hotel by all standards. The sink looks normal-sized in the photo, but in reality, it's so small that even a small person can't even wash their hands without splashing water all over themselves.

Disappointing! I feel like I was bamboozled! This hotel should have a 2 Star rating at best! The reviews for this property were really good and I honestly can’t understand how! I had to double check that I was at the correct hotel. We traveled as a party of 8 in Switzerland for 12 days and stayed at 7 different hotels. We loved all of our hotels except this one. The host was not very warm upon arrival. There is no parking at the hotel so I had to park 3 blocks away at a casino. I was so surprised/disappointed when I saw our room! It was outdated, had multiple dings in the wall, and had stains in the carpet. The bathroom is super tiny and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. There was no air conditioning. We laid in bed and marinated in our sweat all night. The only redeeming quality of this hotel is that it is in a fantastic location.

TV wasn’t working - informed reception. Was told they would check. When I returned tv still not working. Informed receptionist at check out - she offered a small refund but then retracted as I booked via Expedia! I explained that it should not make any difference how I booked my reservation. She wasn’t at all sympathetic - just said hotel was unserstaffed and it was the weekend?

Hotel was good and staff where very friendly. However, there was major construction going on across the street.
