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

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.

Overpriced and Disorganized

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.

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.

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.

Happy holiday

We were very pleased with the stay our young ones had at the youth hostel. They stayed in a 2-bunk room with private bathroom. It had a small table with 2 stools, and separate shower and toilet rooms. The handbasin was in a separate space as well. They had a few problems with everything getting wet in the shower room but other than that everything was fine. They said that the breakfast was excellent with lots of healthy choices. They could walk to everything.

Great stay !

Very modern hostel! Lockers to store your luggage, plugs to charge your phone near every bed. Located close to the main train station (it’s down a hill, but once you get to the hostel you get a free bus pass and you can take the funicular back up). Breakfast was ok, but not extraordinary. Only thing is that we don’t get a good connection in the rooms (well not in mine), and having 8 people in the same room can make it hard to sleep. I was glad I brought earplugs !

Poor management

The facilities were nice and clean, however I was very disappointed that even though I booked to stay in the women's dorm, the reception allowed a random man to stay in the dorm. When I spoke to reception about him, they did nothing, even though there was no man's name listed on the reservation. It was weird and uncomfortable and I definitely wouldn't recommend. They shouldn't allow you to book to stay in a women's dorm if it's going to end up being co-ed. If I knew that was going to be the case, I would have paid extra to get a private room somewhere for my own comfort.

The hostel is everything you need for the cheapest price in Bern. A clean bed for the night, a shower and a decent breakfast in the morning. Don't expect any special treatment or luxury. And I hope you don't get any snorking monster in your room like I did 😂

Ideal in Winter.

Next to both the Xmas market and the train station, but for a steep climb that secludes the hostel from the madness up top. However, there’s a rail cart that’ll take you directly to and from the hostel and it’s free with your stay. Very clean, very tidy, and the bar is affordable.

Great location and restaurant

I stayed in single room.
Pros: nice view to the green area and river. Free breakfast, and they have a restaurant with good prices for lunch and dinner in case you're around during those times.
Con: shower area doesn't have separation on the ground with rest of the bathroom, only curtains, so bathroom can become a bit wet. They ask you to bring the bed sheets when checking out (odd).

It is a youth hotel.

I booked this hotel for its price and I also wanted to have an experience to stay at the youth hotel for one night. I think the facility is good. Location is good (close to downtown),the staff is very helpful. But as the youth hotel, it only provides basic(bunk bed, shared bath room), and you need pay $ to get towel and shampoo.

Hello. This was my best stay since I've started to sleep in hostels and I have 16 months day by day in the last time , because of the European practical system of work and live.
The staff was friendly, also offered luggage storage. The room had 20 beds , but very large with lockers on the colidor, as should be. , also very important that was a reminder on the door to be very quite during the time for night sleep and the door didn't make noise. I,ve been on my own, but there I met a friendly girl and we went out to the city for few hours, which was good, also I liked much the oportunity to swim in the river, also free swimming pool.In the price was included free public transport in Bern, but I didn't have time, so I decidedto give it free of charge to someone. Swisland is a country where I will like to go back even if as a tourist is one of the most expensive.
