Christine
Lovely hotel in the old town and just steps from the train station, Aare river and all the historic streets. So easy to make day trips and use city transit (free with stay).
Our double room was well appointed, spacious and the AC worked well.
Staff was very helpful and they also let us store our bags for a few hours after we checked out.
Main floor has a small self serve drinks/cafe area where breakfast is also served in the morning. Lovely for a quick drink - with free coffee and tea all day!
My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Catherine
The staff was so kind and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Hanni
Wonderful hotel worth a prime location. Just a few blocks from the Bahnhof, Bundesplatz right across the street, and just blocks from everything else. The lobby provides free still and sparkling water. There were free drinks and cookies upon check in. And there was free ice cream being offered because of the ongoing heatwave. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
Paul
Free ice cream is good. Location is great—right downtown close to train station.
Helen
Very convenient location for both the main sights of the old town and the train station. Helpful staff. I had booked a small room but it was fine in terms of size. A bit noisy early in the morning but it was on a main road so to be expected. I didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that. Free tea, coffee and ice cream available.
Michele
Lovely staff. Happy Hour was great. Nice room. Great shower.
Javier
Perfect location to know the city in short amount of time. Walking distance from the train station even with luggage and a baby it was comfortable.
Stephen
We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Bãren. Extremely helpful staff, clean room and bath, and good location. There was no traffic noise at night. We appreciated the coffee and sparking water service in the lobby. All in all, an excellent value.
It rained a bit when we were there. We found we could walk to the railway station without getting wet! A definite plus. When we needed an umbrella for our walkabout, the staff were happy to supply now.

Very clean and close to the station. Very convenient

First of all I can not recommend the breakfast buffet.
The Buffet area is so small and crowded and very poorly prepared.
I can not even find a simple banana or apple.
The location is conveniently located. However
the rooms are very small and there are also unexpected steps in the room.

We loved the great location! We walked to most attractions within 10 minutes. The several times a week markets is right around corner. It has washing and drying machines for people to use for free. It is very quiet at night and safe! Breakfast is very good with dishes carefully selected and prepared. Hotel provides free coffee and tea and great taste ice water all day. We will return to this hotel again and highly recommend this hotel.
Bern is full of history and culture—from the Middle Ages to Einstein and beyond! Well worth visiting!

Hotel was in great location, close to the train station. Reception staff were lovely and helpful. Everything was in walking distance
stacy
Nice modern style hotel close to the train station. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast selection was limited.
Bruce
Excellent location for shopping and restaurants and very comfy bed all at a reasonable price. Wifi good. Note however that room air conditioner not working while outside air is \"fresh\" according to staff, but room was a bit warm so we had to open windows. The only problem with that is the noise all night from the street. Which probably explains why the hotel provides ear plugs next to the bed.
Andy
Clean room great location.,great guest lounge.
ava
Wonderful helpful staff and the room was very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect too!
Phong
They need air conditioning. All five nights, we couldn’t sleep well because it’s too warm. If no blanket then it chill, with blanket it’s hot. Again no air conditioning.
Barbara
A fine set of books in the breakfast/bar area!
Cynthia
We had a great stay here, nice location in old town, friendly helpful staff, our room for 3 adults was perfect and breakfast every morning.
Tatiana
This is a legitimate 2-star hotel. Whoever qualified it for a 4-star hotel made a joke. To start with, there is no refrigerator in the room. Not even a tiny one. The bedding is another joke. A pillow is about 3 cm (a little over an inch) thick, with nothing but lumps inside. I had to ask for 2 more pillows to get it to be of any neck support. I also had to ask for additional 2 blankets as the one provided was too thin. I had to use one of the blankets to cover the pillow stack so that I don’t feel the lumps. In the bathroom: no body lotion provided. No conditioner for after shampoo use. The single container in the shower says: Hand, hair, and body wash. Same container by the sink. No shower cap or vanity kit.
The overall look of the room—shabby.
Avoid by all means.

Pieter le
Very friendly staff. Rooms good, albeit not luxurious.
Sze
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room is clean. Shower water pressure is good. Great location to everything!
Lynda
Excellent location but room was a bit too small if you have lots of luggage
Timothy
This hotel is in the center of Bern about a 5 minute walk to the train station. We flew into Zurich and took a train to Bern and walked to the hotel. Very easy and convenient. Bern is a very walkable city and also has excellent public transportation so I do not recommend renting a car. Parking is difficult and it is hard to figure out which parking spaces are legal at all times or if you need a parking permit which is region specific. The hotel is nice and offers a great breakfast (especially the beautiful breads). Fresh coffee is available 24 hours a day. In the afternoons they had a self serve bar with a wide variety of wines, beers, cocktail makings and nonalcoholic beverages and with bar snacks which looked nice although we didn't make use of their offerings.
Lisa
More than the bear necessities at the Hotel Baren
clean room - breakfast looked great but I had plans. The staff was incredible. Very nice, helpful, attentive.
Gary
Very nice little room which is all I needed just for me. The bed was very comfortable. It was right next to the federal palace and an easy walk to the cathedral and clock tower. Perfect for what I wanted to see and do while I was in Bern. Happy to return here if I go back!
Stephen P
Drink options were terrific
Ka Shing Jacky
Clean room. Staffs are helpful and nice. Very convenient spot. I have got the roof top room and the window at the roof are just very very nice to get natural light from the sky. The toilet are massive with two sinks which is quite rare as in most hotel. Little downside is that the bed is a bit squeaky even with just body rotation but overall it is very good and I will recommend it.

This was a perfect place to explore Bern from. The only regret was not staying longer! Staff was helpful and friendly and the hotel was great!
Timothy
My room was spartan but immaculate. It had everything I needed and nothing I didn't. Free coffee and tea, and one free drink.
nigel
Location, quiet, great value
John
Very good location and facilities.
Alexander
We loved the location, the hotel itself was wonderful and very clean and the staff was friendly, helpful, welcoming and professional. It would have been perfect but the beds…twins put in king frame were HORRIBLE! 2/3 of the bed on both sides sloped outward, obviously from folks sitting on the sides of the beds that we were in a hole and could not sleep on1/3 of the bed. When we slept on our side our knees hit the bed frame and then surpassed it as the mattress was so compressed. My wife ended up with hip and back pain and slept just a few hours each night.

By far the best hotel we've stayed at so far! The location couldn't be better the staff was excellent and the amenities superb. Steps from the train station and right in the heart of the bustling city. Just wonderful.

Great experience
Nice room, really clean. Near the end of the corridor so the room was pretty quiet. The air conditioning worked fine.
All the staff we interacted with at check-in and subsequently were super polite and helpful.

Donna
We had an excellent stay at this hotel. The hotel is extremely well located right in the center of Bern close to the train station so transportation was easy. We had excellent service from Vera at the front desk. She was extremely friendly and went out of her way to tell us everything we needed to know right down to how to swim in the river safely. There are many special touches to the hotel lobby, including a great gathering space and even a free welcome drink. Loved our stay.

In a quiet alley in the centre of town
We were welcomed and checked in warmly by reception. We had also pre-registered online by the welcome email from Hotel Baren. Their staff went the extra mile to provide extra latex pillow and fixed the safe locking error when requested. We booked the Comfort room which faces the back of the surrounding buildings but we figured the view is likely to be due to the different sizes of the room. The hotel escape floor plan showed the rooms were different sizes on the same floor.
Hotel was an easy walk from the Bern Station. Many historic sites are within 10 to 15 minutes walk from the hotel. The Saturday market was next to the hotel. A very pleasant stay and would stay again.

Great hotel located in a central area in Bern. About a 5 minute walk to the train station. Rooms are small but doable, especially for a night or two. Coffee and tea are free in the lobby. You can also purchase a glass of wine or make any drink available for an extra fee. Right next to an amazing coffee shop with fantastic muffins. Also 7 minutes away from a cool cocktail bar called Department 66. Would stay again!
Lori Paige
We booked a triple room for myself and two friends. The hotel was in a perfect location right near the market and Bundeshaus. Everything in Bern was very walkable and we had a great trip.

Bern Trip
Very convenient to all spots in Bern, including the train station and Parliament (where we saw a very nice seasonal light show). The staff was friendly and helpful. However, the beds were very comfortable, who thought putting two twins together makes a queen. I could swear I reserved the single queen bed. The beds had wooden rails around them and the mattresses were extremely uncomfortable. We also did not have A/C or any fan options. Though it was cold outside this caused us to open a window until during the morning a cat was making noise and we were concerned it would come inside.
I would recommend this hotel for it convivence to spots in Bern, friendly staff and cleanliness, but be aware of these limitations.

This is a beautiful, historic hotel in the centre of Bern, but if you're planning on doing any kind of sleeping, go elsewhere. They even provide basic (and hopeless) ear plugs next to the bed.
I paid 150 CHF for a night here, and checked out within 4 hours. Even with my Sony Noise Cancelling headphones, I had a headache after being in the room for 30 minutes.
Go elsewhere. Find a hotel just a few roads parallel to this one... it'll make all the difference.
Lovely hotel receptionists though, very helpful and friendly.

Conveniently located close to train station. Everything was great!
Gregory
Hotel is rather basic, but very clean and conveniently located. Windows facing the street- not the main one, but still street noise could be noticed. Staff is great, and very helpful. We booked the cheapest room- it is small, other rooms are larger and better. Free happy hour drink was a pleasant surprise.
Shannon
The staff were wonderful - very helpful. The location was excellent - very central in the heart of Bern. I also loved the rooms and bathrooms were also great.

Wonderful Bern
Convenient and a short walk from Bern train station. The Saturday we were check in, there was a Saturday market with many stalls. Free coffee and beverage counter on ground floor. From 3pm, guests were treated to a free first drink. Reception were very helpful and chatty. Room was basic and clean.
Melissa
Everything was great about this hotel: location close to train station, very walkable, close to dining and local activities, very friendly and helpful staff, clean hotel. The only reason I took away one star was you can hear the people above you walking in their room, and the room smelled musty (probably due to carpet).
Hoi Ying
Location - It is about 7 mins walking from Bern Train station and the hotel sits in the old city park which is just 5 mins walking to the central part. Even though it only takes 20 mins walking to bear park!
Staff - Amazing friendly and super helpful
Love the free coffee & tea provided in the room and lobby area
Room - It is well maintained with bathtub (rare!) Seems no air-condition provided but it is totally fine for me

Excellent location for everything. A few steps to Swiss Parliament square where host interest events. Pretty quiet even in the busy area. Front desk staffs are very friendly and provide us detailed directions to sightseeing that we wish. Highly recommend this hotel!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is definitely worth the price.Great choice of foods and well prepared. Excellent coffee. Only complaint was the bed. One side was saggy and uncomfortable. Other side was ok.

Very nice hotel. Only issue is they have no space for baggage storage so if you want to stay afternoon to tour city you have to leave bags in lobby unsecured. Also, we arrived prior to 3:00 pm. Our Room was ready, however, property charged us $30 cfh for early check in. Not cool!
Haig
Great location, cool room decor and amenities, delicious breakfast, cozy vibe, helpful staff.
Karilyn
Best staff
The staff were the best! So friendly and helpful. They have a welcome drink and give you a bar of Swiss chocolate as you leave. Really lovely extras that make it nice. This area was right by the main train station making it easy to travel and find the hotel. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and enjoyed the neighborhood. Always busy and on the weekend a festival happening.
Karen
Convenient and clean hotel
Centrally located hotel in old Bern with great access to all tourist highlights. We loved the ease of access from the train station and we found the hotel convenient and clean. The evening beverage was a welcome surprise. We liked the proximity to the parliament, the Munster and the zytglogge to name a few of the close by places of interest
Jessica
Everything was as advertised and expected. Great place
Jean
Extremely comfortable clean and convenient place near train station and all sights downtown, friendly staff and nice bonuses like welcome drink and goodbye gift. Loved the bed and bathroom.
Ivan
Amazing service, very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are very clean and well kept. Thick walls that keep the room extra quiet. Overall very very happy with our stay. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and look forward to staying here again!
