"Funky hotel, but very nice with large common areas. Totally contact-less (keys are on a phone app), about 10 minute walk from train station. Most tourist sites are close. Our room was a little odd (upper floor with sloped ceilinds, bed in middle of room). The bed was comfortable, and it's one of ..."

Akil

Lots to see and do but not through Ibis there must be better places to stay whilst visiting Bern.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Just a really pleasant place to spend a little time. I only say a little time because to us Brits , Switzerland is an expensive place - unless you are careful!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Take time to walk around the old city of Bern - it is located just over the bridge from the hotel. It’s small and hemmed in on both sides by the Aare river which makes exploring on foot easy. The medieval buildings and arcades are charming.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Lots to see. Friendly people on the whole. Lots of eating options and plenty of entertainment. The river is beautiful.
