This is an inexpensive and plain sort of place, a kind of hostel/hotel, run by a "Genossenschaft" (community). It is cheap and friendly, but not at all luxurious. The community functions as a charity, providing services to its needy users, and letting rooms seems to be a small part of its operations. There is a kitchen in the basement which everyone staying there can use. The kitchen, like everything else, is very clean, and if you use it you are expected to wash up your dishes and leave the whole place clean. Breakfast is provided, but it is plain and simple. Location is excellent, in a small and very quiet street, just off a busy main road with frequent buses (number 20) into the centre of town.

The room was very small.

The room is absolutely beautiful, everything is very clean, employees are friendly, and the breakfast tasted fresh. The hotel is simple and was just enough, it had everything I needed. I also like the shared bathroom, cozy like a home, but still spacious and clean. Only a minute away from busstop.

The bed springs are too hard on my back. I can't relax in the breakfast room because some employees make too much noise: Funny, one night shifter was preparing breakfast buffet and was smashing everything (rearranging cuttlery, closing cabinets), but when I stood up to my room only then he tried to be polite and wanted to make sure he wasn't bothering me. Too late bro.

Budget friendly Hotel Location: Location was really good. 5 to 10 mins from Bern Main Station through bus or you could just walk to the station in 15 minutes. Nearest bus stand is Gewerbeschule. Room : Room was clean and quite spacious with basic things such as heater, bed, wardrobe, attached toilet bathroom . Breakfast: Breakfast starts at 6.30 A.M everyday which was good. Also we can access Tea/Coffee 24X7 for free. Staff were really helpful and also friendly.

All the switches in the room were quite inaccessible and hard to reach.

What a sweet and warm accommodation. Other than finding the place and it being rather expensive, it is a lovely spot that we would recommend. We had a private bath, but even those rooms which shared one only shared with one or two other rooms. There is a great breakfast included in the price (that helps for sure). Additionally, there is a 24/7 coffee/tea bar which you feel comfortable enough to use. Further there is a guest kitchen in the basement if you wish to cook a meal. We did so one night and found all we needed. (That includes a refrigerator where you can leave your items – labeled of course.) We were greeted very warmly, not something we experienced in all of Switzerland. The place is clean and comfortable and a terrific location for getting to the tourist areas of Bern.

They really should give better directions from the tram stops as it can be confusing. There are actually two stops pretty close by. But you don’t want the one with a very steep staircase to go down (or up). Additionally, more directions would help new-comers understand that you don’t have to go to the end of the line when you think you need to take “Wankdorf Station.” Please better directions.

+ Fantastic and calm location ( very close to the bus stop and the bern central railway station. It takes just 3 minutes to reach the bern central station from that bus stop. Buses to that stop are very frequentand we need not wait for more than 10 minutes) + Great and healthy breakfast with buffet system. The breakfast buffet included boiled eggs, crossaints, bread varieties, cheese varieties, butter varieties, bread toasters, oats, musli, warm milk, honey, etc . + The tea/coffee machine is available for 24 hours and is free for use. This is really great. The machine also gives warm milk for free. + The hotel is cleaned regularly and all the common areas, shared bathroom and shared toilets were clean and well maintained in a hygienic manner. + The hotel had a lift facilitiy and it was easy to carry luggage to the room in top floors. + the people in reception were friendly and helpful.

Location, friendly staff, clean room

I didn’t notice when booked this room that it hasn’t shower/bath/toilet. Only sharing with next rooms. A bit surprise, but I used to live such way) be attentive. You can pay extra 40 franks per night for room with toilet. But I didn’t do it, cause next rooms were empty. Restrooms are extremely clean. The breakfasts are pretty poor - like everywhere in Bern) The city is perfect; a lot of interesting places. Little trouble with stores - mostly of them are closing after 6 pm (and closed on Sundays). Public transport is very fast and comfortable, the tickets price are included into hotel price.

I liked the closeness to city centre (I actually couldn't decide if it was more convenient to reach it by bus or foot LOL), the unexpected spaciousness of the room, where all items are placed/picked in a perspective of optimization. It was also minimally stylish. The breakfast was essential but covered all tastes. The staff was very kind, I don't know if its standard in Swiss lifestyle, but I was airing the idea of a coffee at night and the receptionist freely offered me the breakfast appliances and stuff for one. The neighborhood is cozy, ordinate and coloured, with a near absence of cars (as mostly anywhere in Bern, I suppose)

There was some noise outside in late afternoon but slowly subsided into the night

I have been coming to Bern regularly for years and always look here first. It's a great value and just a really nice, welcoming place. It's a short bus ride from the station, or a lovely walk across one of the bridges (take a picture)! I appreciate very much the simplicity, and love the free breakfast. If you are staying for longer, you can also go to the grocery store and use the kitchen downstairs

Sometimes I can hear other guests in the hall and stairs but everyone has always been respectful. Really nothing else!

A spotlessly clean room. A quiet location but close to restaurants and tram and bus routes, and within walking distance of the train station and town centre. A very good choice at breakfast and an early start (6.30 am) which is good for people like me with an early train to catch. Very friendly and helpful staff. The room only has a sink in, but the shared toilet and shower were close and not oversubscribed. Perfect for an overnight stay for a single person.

Nothing

Reception desk staff were the best we found during our entire trip. Super helpful with a map, pointing out the highlights of the town, restaurants, and tram/bus lines to get there. We walked to the nearby Rosegarten at their recommendation, which we probably would not have otherwise. Location was great -- not in the old city but just a tram stop away. With hotel-provided Bern ticket, public transportation was free.

All good.
