Our room was all the way up top of the hotel. During the time of our stay, the weather was really hot. When we checked in, the room felt like we're in the sauna. There was no air conditioning, but there's a ceiling fan and a small desk fan. We had plans to do some sightseeing anyway so we were just hoping it'd cool down when we get back in the evening. And it did. We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The bed was comfortable as well. We'll definitely stay here again if we're visiting this town sometime in the future.

Best feature of this hotel is the amazing location. Just a 5 minute walk to the main train station, and VERY walkable to Old Town and many interesting sites. The second best feature was the staff. Our check in experience was excellent. We arrived early and the staff was warm, helpful and stored (and delivered) our luggage to the room when ready, while we explored the city. The rooms are standard small European, but absolutely fine for our 2 night stay. Some tram car noise at night, but to be expected. We did not try the restaurant, so we have no feedback there. Definitely recommend this hotel!

Wonderful historic hotel; however, it can be a bit noisy from the metro outside, especially with the heat and windows open (no AC/fans provided). The receptionist helped us download the free
city transportation pass we used to get to the Paul Klee Museum. A must see!! The beds were very comfortable, and the breakfast service was exceptional.

Great location, minutes from the train station on foot and the transportation hub. Decent breakfast (excellent granola cereal). The staff really helped with a reservation mix-up on my part and for that, I remain grateful. They also helped when ask during check-in and at other times. We just did not like the room much, not that we spent a lot of time in it. Twin beds not adjacent, odd beams across the wall to the ceiling, odd-looking stools to sit on instead of chairs, weak water pressure in the shower, a coat rack and hangers on what looked like a pipe instead of a closet or armoire. We really liked our stay in Bern with the hotel just a passing thought.

Good location , but on a very very noisy rail / bus thoroughfare right outside window , one night at 3am grinding the rail tracks for 1 hr for maintenance, hotel said not told that was going to happen . Room very dusty , dust & fluff on floors. Can’t leave windows / doors open due to smell of cigarette smoke coming through . Stuffy at night as needed to keep doors closed as you can’t sleep with outside noise on road till late hours and trams . Pillows way to soft msg as well sleep straight on mattress.

The location was fantastic, the room was fair, but...no ice, no fridge, no microwave, no way to keep any food from any meals or the store fresh purchases for later or reheat anything. The city shops basically shut down at 6pm so if you have not prepared for this it can be very frustrating when you have no way to save your food. Plan ahead and you will be fine, but as a traveler doing site seeing all day it was important to manage your food as restaurants in the area were very expensive and buying food from the store to save cost ment daily trips in the morning to the coop for food. The staff was amazing and helpful, the proximity to the train station makes daily travel very easy.

Listed with having “some” private parking but was informed they only have one spot. Parking in garage was very expensive. There was a smell of sewage in the shower. But they had had a plumber in that day so I assume they had an issue. But would stay again

We had a nice stay in Bern. The hotel is very well located, with quick walk to the main tourist attractions in the old town, and easy access to the tram. We had a rental car since it was said that parking was ''available''. turns out there is one expensive place for the whole hotel, otherwise we have to park in a public Parkin nearby for a high fee, or try to find a blue zone street parking and buy a parking card in the hotel. It did work out but was not ideal. Breakfast was ok but cold items only. Room was small but confortable and clean.

Breakfast was good. Location was perfect, no need for a car as a tram stop is in front of the hotel. Restaurants and shops are nearby. Check in/out was quick and efficient. They don’t have a parking garage but there is a public one for 35 francs for the whole day about 1.5 blocks away. No complaints. Will stay there again

A nice place to relax.

We had a relaxing time here. Being close to the train terminal helps. I recommend you buy a plug adapter since what we brought from the U.S. was not a match. The front desk lady was helpful. The breakfast was continental, but not a breakfast that takes orders. Though our room faced the main road, it wasn't loud as night fell. The rooms were clean and relaxing. This is a good place I would return.

I stayed in a small single room on the 4th floor for two nights. My room was simple but very neat and clean. The layout is a bit strange. Breakfast is ok, but limited. My main challenge was the noise level and long check-in time. On the second night the noise was extremely loud from the theatre near the hotel. It stopped a bit after 11pm but the room was definitely not sound proof and it made for a non-peaceful evening in my room. I also thought it was overpriced for a small single room. But it definitely felt safe.

All staff made us feel very welcome and no question was too much trouble for them. Suggestions were also made to allow us to save money.
Great location, a short walk from the main train station and only a few blocks from the old town area.
We used the Bern Welcome ticket to take a tram from almost right outside the hotel to the Gurtenbahn and had a lovely lunch at the top and rode the Rodelbahn
Had a lovely time in Bern and would stay here again.

Disappointing stay

Arrived at 10 to 4pm, checked in and was given an upgrade. Went to room and it was not ready. Bed being made, then room vacuumed. Very small room, suitcase had to be placed on the floor. Toilet squeezed in between wall and shower, not much room (both of us are average sized people). Could make coffee or tea but no milk available. This room was not an upgrade ! Next night was in an IBIS Hotel - we stayed in a better room !

Our stay at Hotel National Bern was excellent overall. Check-in was smooth and efficient, with friendly staff who provided clear and useful instructions that made settling in easy. The room was clean and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The hotel's central location is perfect for sightseeing, putting Bern's main attractions within easy walking distance. The combination of helpful service, quality accommodations, and prime location made this a great choice for exploring the city. Would definitely recommend and consider staying here again.

This grand old building is like a museum from yesteryear. Our experience from check-in to check-out was wonderful.

Our room was huge - in fact, we had two bedrooms, which is probably uncommon, so we were just lucky. Many people's reviews complain about street noise (trams), but I think that's less of a problem in winter, maybe because of the triple-glazed windows which are kept closed. In the summer people tend to want to leave windows open (no air conditioning), and then the noise might be problematic. BTW, the receptionists issue ear plugs when you check in, but we didn't use it.

The bed was super comfy, and the pillows were soft and dreamy. The 3-piece bathroom was well equipped. The room furnishings were basic, but in good condition, and functional.

Breakfast was wonderful, with lots of continental food and beverage options on offer.

The hotel is located within walking distance of the main station in Bern, and the old city (10 minutes either way). As a result of this location, visitors are surrounded by tourist attractions, public transport, restaurants, bars, shopping, super markets, and more.

Really enjoyed our stay here. It was an ideal location. Our room faced the street but we couldn’t hear anything with the window closed. The breakfast was great with many options. Our mistake as we didn’t look to see if there was a mini fridge in the room (there wasn’t) but they were able to store a few things we had already bought for my cousin who is gluten free (thanks again Emma!).
