Sorell Hotel Arabelle Bern

Good transport mean to city centre, value for money

Small hotel conveniently located in a quiet area within walking distance of the Hauptbanhoff. Staff are friendly and helpful and rooms are quite spacious. A number of good restaurants are located within a brief walking distance from the hotel. Hotel provided a bus pass but we did not use it as we were easily able to walk to all of the places and sights that we wanted to see.

Very satisfactory hotel for our needs. Clean, spacious room, excellent breakfast, convenient to the train station.

It was hot and tere was no air conditioning. Our hotel room was located with the window which open to the street so we did not want to sleep with the window open since anyone could just come into our room at nught from the street. The hotel room was hot but the hotel staff kindly provided us with a fan. The hotel staff are nice and the breakfast is good. The hotel location is very close to the 12 tram stop (3 stops from the bern train station). Good location.

The hotel itself was great and very well maintained. The hotel staff was courteous, helpful and very acoomodating! The free breakfast was good with with a fair amount of options. Be aware there is NO designated parking for the hotel, so you have to pay €17 a day (through the hotel) to hopefully find a spot nearby. The second night we were there the closest spot we found was about 1km away from the hotel. The absolute worst thing about the hotel is the location! It is NOT a quiet neighborhood like other reviews suggest. The first night we stayed, there was a party going on right across the street. They played loud music until around 2am and were not nice when we asked them to turn it down. It was very warm that evening and with no a/c, it was either leave the windows open and listen to their party or shut the windows and burn up in the room. No party the second evening, but the street noise and cars were still very disturbing. There is a WONDERFUL ice cream place just to the left of the hotel when you walk out. We visited it twice during our stay!

Nice hotel in trendy area (near university) with lots of restaurants and bars. Close to train station. Room was rather small and although there was shoe polish in the room, a tooth brush and tooth paste were lacking. Very good breakfast selection.

10 minute walk to train station, 15 minutes to old section of Bern. Migros grocery 2 blocks away with many prepared food options if you choose to eat in. Many restaurants in the area. The room was good sized for European standards. Beds were comfortable with quality linens. Breakfast was quite good; nice selection of meats, cheeses, breads, yogurts. Scrambled and boiled eggs available. Fruit would have been nice. Coffee was great. Traffic noise can be quite loud, so request a room facing the courtyard if possible. Rooms are not air conditioned, so if you are visiting Bern in the summer, you might want to keep this in mind.

Room was clean and adequate. Hotel in good location, in close proximity to major attractions. Bus, tram stops and train station all within walking distance.

Modern, well furnished, very nice breakfast, extrenely helpfull staff

We had a hard time finding it. Arriving at night, their sign doesn't emphasize the Arabelle, but some other name with a big "S" (Sorell maybe?). The hotel has a porn theater as a neighbor. The room was clean. The bathroom had a sliding opaque glass door that was not oiled. It made a loud grinding noise when you pulled it open (it did not "slide"). The opaque glass meant that every time you use the bathroom at night, the light from the room is going to illuminate the room.
