Hotel National Bern

Hotel National Bern

10/10 Excellent
"Older hotel that has been updated and is in a very convenient location with the train station as easy walk or bus ride away. Lots of restaurants in the area as well. Rooms are a little small but fine for a night or two. The fan was a great addition as the heat was still on in Switzerland. Good breakfast buffet too."

Stay KooooK Bern Wankdorf – Online Check In

10/10 Excellent
"We liked the "kitchen" though there wasn't an oven to do pizza. (go to the 8th floor common room and use that one) The common room was never busy while we were there so if you want a comfortable spot to browse the internet or watch a game on your laptop that is a good spot. If there are two of you, pulling the other half of the bed out every evening was a bit of a chore but not a deal breaker. The bathroom was spacious by Swiss standards BUT the glass doors could make it awkward for some people. The location was VERY convenient being right next to the train station and surprisingly at night you had to strain to hear the trains. Another surprise was the rooftop terrace with a great view of the mountains. The price was fair and I would stay there again."
