The best place to stay in Bern

The location was perfect. Right in downtown. Tons to do and eat around it.

6.0 / 10.0

fine facilities, but just an ok experience

convenient location, but on a very busy street, so lots of night time noise. nice having your own sink in each bedroom.

stay was just kind of meh. fine for a one night stay if you already have set plans, but if you’re hoping to socialize and meet new people this is not a good hostel for that. no real sense of community or much engagement/recommendations from the staff, so felt a bit isolated and bored during my stay.

Great value for money

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Location is *chefs kiss*.

10.0 / 10.0

Loved it here!

This was our base during our 3 nights stay in Switzerland. The location was perfect, walking distance to all the beautiful sights in bern and the train station. In the center of town, with lots of food options. Free rice, pasta and cereals with milk are provided with your stay. Has a complete kitchen facilities and washer dryer. The place was impeccably clean, even the common washrooms. Also the staff are so sweet and accommodating! Would stay again!

Key Box Comment

Immaculate. Prompt responses to questions via WhatsApp.

The key box is quite frustrating. The wooden key fob & metal ring are far too large, so the door closes only with great difficulty. Once it took 15 attempts to close the box! Improving this would certainly improve my impression of this otherwise fine accommodation.

Great experience

The staff were very kind and accommodating. The dorm room, bathrooms, and showers were very clean and comfortable. The kitchen space was also regularly cleaned. A fan was provided for the room as it was very hot, which helped a lot. I would absolutely stay here again.

As it is right next to a busy street, it can be noisy at night. Of course, this is out of the hostel's control so this is more of a heads up to maybe bring earplugs if you have trouble sleeping with noise.

If I return to Bern I will definitely stay there again!

Very clean and the staff made sure it always stayed immaculate. The location is very good, close to the station so convenient for sightseeing.

Nothing, it was great.

Value for money. A small short simple stay is alright but i wouldnt recommend long stays.

I loved how clean it was and that it was walking distance from almost everything you need to catch in Bern. Very very friendly staff.

I didn’t like the fact that it was warm throughout my entire stay and in a room of 4 women, only one tiny fan was given…

Overall, would stay here again!

The location was fantastic! Right in the centre of town with everything in walking distance. The hostel let us check in early which was great!

The room was clean enough however the towels and shower especially could have been cleaned a lot better. Eg stains on towels and grime from dirty feet in shower.

10.0 / 10.0

The best hostel accomodation we have seen. Well done and thank you.

Location - in the middle of the old city. The building is fresh and modern. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The common room, kitchen and laundry area is neat, fresh, clean and tidy. Instructions are clear.

Enjoyed everything.

9.0 / 10.0

Expensive but chill.

Incredible location in the heart of the city centre, and the private rooms are also pretty spacious. Toilets and showers were also pretty clean, but the big plus is the sink in the private room, allowing us to brush our teeth and get ready with our own privacy, a rarity in a hostel, even for common rooms! Do take note that there's also a free public transit pass with the hostel, take that into account when checking in (and the staff were also really nice as well).

The price. I know, it's Switzerland, it's unavoidable, but this was still an eye-watering price for a single night.

Great location!

Great location in the old town, easy walk around town and to all the tourist sights. Short walk to the train station as well. Lots of nice cafes, bars and restaurants nearby. Big spacious rooms and bathrooms. Lift access to higher floors. Friendly staff gave us really handy tips!

Wifi was a bit slow at times but not a huge issue. We booked a double bed which was two twin beds pushed together so bit uncomfortable, but again, not a huge issue.

Bern Backpackers

Bus stop across the street. Main train station a 10 min walk. Kitchen was clean, and had everything needed to make meals. 2 kinds of breakfast cereal and milk provided at no charge. Free tea, and coffee available for a small fee. Staff at reception were wonderful. I would stay there again

No lift from ground level to reception on second level. A few more stairs to reach lift. Helpful staff carried my luggage to/from ground level. Room was very bare, and private room with shower was more expensive than another hotel where I stayed in Bern. The mattress was not very comfortable, it had a saggy middle

7.0 / 10.0

No free coffee in the common area. Not even free washing of clothes, that many hostels have!

Loved the location, common area, cleanliness, and the fact that they gave us Bern city cards!

10.0 / 10.0

Perfect location, clean comfortable, welcoming hostel accommodation.

Location absolutely perfect for everything in Bern. This is hostel accommodation, not a hotel or B&B. The accommodation is therefore basic and what you would expect for low cost accommodation…….BUT, everything is very well organized. The kitchen facility is extensive and spotlessly clean. The common room is spacious. The lady on reception was so friendly and helpful and seemed to us to love her job of helping people. A bonus that we didn’t expect was complimentary breakfast cereal and milk provided in the common room in the morning. Bearing in mind the nature of the accommodation, we could not fault it.

8.0 / 10.0

Good choice to see the city

Very friendly staff! The hotel provides Bern city guest card. The room was simple but enough for a short stay. The bathrooms and showers are shared but never needed to wait when I needed to use them. Paid laundry (includes detergent) available. Really nice location.

There was a party on the street below the windows till 22/23 so if someone wants or needs to go to sleep earlier, sometimes it might not be the best choice.

9.0 / 10.0

Nice, convenient, comfortable stay!

Nice and clean hostel with very friendly and helpful staff! The beds were comfortable and it was not cramped in the room. There was even a sink in the room. Location was right in the center and incredibly convenient for walking and public transport.

My only complaint was that another guest removed my laundry from the washing machine within 2 minutes from the cycle ending. Although this was not a reflection of the hostel and rather a concern with another guest, I might recommend the hostel posts some rules for using the machines and removing other guests' laundry.

8.0 / 10.0

Great potential.

Excellent staff, excellent location, great information and assistance, very helpful that they let you store luggage. They try their best to keep it clean.

They charge you $3 for a cup of coffee. That should be included. $12 for a load of laundry is also pretty steep. Guests who do not respect the rules or clean up after themselves, act like they are in their own home. For example, it says no food in the rooms. Group of young guys carrying packs of food to their rooms. Ladies restroom destroyed by the guys ignoring the sign, using it, and leaving water, tissue, and smell everywhere. Kitchen left a mess, couples laying all over the couches and making out like they were alone was one of the more bizarre things I've seen in a hostel. 3 nights in a row, older couple take the remote, turn on the TV, blast it on full volume to a movie of their liking with their food, drinks and snacks everywhere, making out, taking up the couches. It was the strangest and most inappropriate behavior I've seen in the common area of a supposed hostel. SO awkward. Family with screaming baby/toddlers. A barking dog. Yelling people. There need to be some parameters on all of this, its mayhem. Unfortunately the staff have to step up to moderate some of this.

8.0 / 10.0

Would probably stay again

Great location, very central to everything and transport. Lovely staff. Good communal areas.

Wish there were more bathrooms, but never fighting over one.

8.0 / 10.0

Good as long as you wear earplugs

Large common area and kitchen, comfortable beds that each have their own reading light, shelf and power outlets, large closets to store your luggage in and come with a key. Shower was nice and warm with good water pressure. City tax includes public transit in Bern!

The location has its benefits but also downsides, such as the noise from the nightlife down below. Even with the windows closed it was pretty loud, couldn’t open them at night because of the noise and rooms got very warm and stuffy as a result. In the common area there’s a vending machine that is so noisy that it’s not relaxing to sit there for a longer period of time. Reception closes between 12 and 15 but luckily I found a member of staff who could open the luggage storage for me so I could still drop off my backpack when I arrived at 13.

9.0 / 10.0

perfect & conveniently positioned accommodation that met our expectations, and the friendly helpfulness of staff was

although there were stairs to navigate to the first floor reception, the person there helped with bringing our luggage up - and there was a lift up to our fifth floor room so all good

9.0 / 10.0

Good Location, good value, good staff.

Great hostel experience in a central location of the old city. Good value in an expensive city. We had a private room on the sixth floor (elevator) that shared bathroom facilities with only four other rooms. There was a well equipped kitchen in a large common room. The staff was friendly and helpful.

No complaints.
