Guest Reviews
- Jasmeet (8/5): Bonito hostal cerca del Río - Bonita ubicación. Lee and Flo were great I made a request for a particular room. Called twice to remind them. They said they will try their best. But in the end they gave me different room.
- Anne Naomi (9/5): Funktional und toplage -
- Fei (9/5): -
- Rolf (7/5): - Die Lage unterhalb des Parlaments an der Aare ist extrem gut. Außerdem gibt es ein gutes Frühstück mit leckerem Kaffee. Auch der Außenbereich ist sehr gemütlich. Im 3-stöckigen Neubau ist mir der Beton zu dominant. Außerdem könnten die Beistelltischchen an den Betten etwas größer sein.
- Ellen (5/5): Não ficaria novamente - Café da manhã Instalação. Não é como as fotos
- Lison (9/5): What a cool experience when it’s sunny ! - The whole place with the garden, the river & the beautiful terrace where the sun comes on morning during breakfast! Also, the mood there is pretty cooool. Lights, bar, space to stay before going bed and everything …
- Antje (9/5): -
- Annemarie (8/5): Tolle Lage, super Personal, schöne Einrichtung! - Die Lage direkt an der Aare ist außergewöhnlich. Sehr zuvorkommendes und total freundliches Personal. Mega bequemes Bett! Die geneinsamen Duschkabinen sind etwas klein, dunkel und eng. Der Gemeinschaftsraum überm Speisesaal hätte ein bisschen größer sein können mit auch indiv. Rückzugsräumen. Durch die offene Gestaltung empfand ich es manchmal als zu laut zum Arbeiten/Telefonieren. Aber Jammern auf hohem Niveau, abgesehen davon alles tipptopp!
- Lucia (8/5): -
- Flávia (10/5): -
- Karina (10/5): - Ótima localização, perto do centro da cidade. Os quartos são aconchegante e o café da manhã tem várias opções boas e locais.
- Li (3/5): -
- yulun (9/5): - 前台服务人员非常热情友善，为我们办理了提前入住，还热情介绍了周边景点 房间干净整洁，我们住的那间是湖景房，非常舒适平静。有电梯，搬行李方便。 酒店位置优异，离伯尔尼老城和火车站都比较近，步行非常方便 房间插座太少了，找地方充电费劲 房间整体空间不是很大 前往老城和火车站都需要爬坡和爬台阶，没有办法坐公交取代，如果需要搬运大件行李非常费劲
- Paulina (10/5): - Wszystko super, śniadania w formie szwedzkiego stołu i dobrą kawa. Było czysto, wygodnie.
- Selina (9/5): Bütçe dostu, tam fiyat performans hostel deneyimiydi. Beğendim. - Temizlik beklediğimin üstündeydi. Personeller çok ilgili ve yardımseverdi. Kahvaltı yeterliydi. Konum olarak çok sakin ve nehir kenarı olması büyük artıydı. Tesis ile ilgili değil ama misafirlere geç saatte odalara giriş çıkışlarda gürültü yapılmaması konusunda uyarı verilmesi iyi olabilir.

- Mari (7/5): - 安い。立地も良い。朝食も満足です。 寝室の前室に鍵付きロッカーと洗面台があり、便利でした。 ベッドの争奪戦に負けて2段ベッドの上段になるとコンセントが無いです。 ヘアドライヤーを借りるのにデポジットが必要で、いちいち面倒でした。 シャワールームはバスマットも無いし、少し排水の流れが悪いシャワー室もあります。

- Alexandra (8/5): -
- Beatrice (8/5): Una notte a Berna - La posizione, la tranquillità del luogo, la comodità del letto Camere basiche, bagno con doccia a pavimento che lascia acqua ovunque, colazione poco interessante

- Raymond (8/5): - Great breakfast was included with my room. Location is wonderful, and they offered a free transport card for the funicular right down the block which was very helpful. Lounge area in front is excellent. Room was for 4 people but never had more than 3. Definitely a large number of school teenagers staying and they were quite loud in the public areas. While there are no age restrictions here, just something to be aware of. Different from some of my other hostel experiences in Switzerland.
- ELORA (9/5): Great - Loved the breakfast.

- Antje (7/5): A good solution for a short and non-fancy stay. - Quiet surroundings. Great location, very central. The front desk staff was helpful! I understand that this is a Hostel but the breakfast could be improved.

- Vítor Henrique (10/5): Enchanting stay in Bern - The location is great, right behind the parliament building, which requires almost climbing a giant hill, but you get a card for free travel on public transport, which allows you to take the lovely cable car. The opposite building, where the rooms are located, is brand new, meaning marvellous acoustic isolation and a fantastic view of the park.

- Lorena (7/5): -
- Margrit (9/5): -
- Maja (9/5): -
- Agostina (7/5): Hostel promedio, buena ubicacion, baños sucios. - La ubicacion era increible, te encontrabas en pleno casco historico. Ademas, el hostel te da un ticket para que te muevas usando el transporte publico. Las habitaciones eran espaciosas y tenian los lockers por fuera de las camas, lo que hacia que pudieras hacer ruido sin molestar a los que estaban durmiendo. Los baños eran sucios, siempre habia olor a orina en los inodoros asi como agua estancada en la ducha. Fue el hostel mas sucio al que fui en Suiza.
- Mariano (10/5): Excelente novedad , nuevo y cómodo - Las comodidades, es amplio, los cuartos también, las camas tienen su espacio, está bien ubicado, te dan una tarjeta gratis para tomar los buses que quieras dentro de varias zonas de berna, dura lo que tu estadía Al ser un albergue juvenil , hay grupos bastante grandes de niños, jóvenes y demás. Quizás si buscas un espacio tranquilo y afuera llueve o está fresco, tenes que ir a tu cuarto.

- Pauline (8/5): -
- Xavier (8/5): -
- Lena (10/5): - Super Es war perfekt für uns…
- Caroline (10/5): -
- Lea (9/5): Convenable, bien situé et petit-déjeuner délicieux. - Le petit déjeuner était super, l'emplacement parfait car très proche du centre (attention il y a un grand escalier pour monter jusqu'au centre). La chambre sentait très mauvais, j'ai essayé d'aérer mais ça n'a rien fait. C'était très désagréable.
- Juliette (8/5): Great stay and night but not an hostel made to meet people - The location is exceptional! The bed and pillow were very comfy. The staff is nice and the breakfast was good. I am a solo traveler of 23 years old and I was surprised by the age of the people in the Hostel. In my woman only room we were 5 and the average age was 55 maybe. In the other rooms there were only families. I don’t mind but I mean if you want to meet new young people it’s clearly not the place. For the real cons, I would say the parking, it is wrote that there is a parking available on reservation but there are only 4 or 5 slots, so it was already full.
