Lovely hotel stay in the center of Bern
Wonderful overall experience. The lobby is delightfully appointed with a solid bar. Nice wine list and cocktails. The rooms have a fantastic bathroom and comfortable bed. The only difficulty was getting the room to cool off at night. The thermostat only goes to 20C and there is no fan for air flow. So at winter they are keeping everyone toasty but a bit too much for my liking at night making it difficult to sleep.

Very central in the city and easy walking to major attractions. Room is spacious with rich decorative details. The hot drying rack in the bathroom is super convenient if you want to dry your swimming suits. The spa facility is a real plus to the stay for families who want to relax. Breakfast is superb as well in the famous restaurant with so much history there.

Very nice property with friendly staff. Room has small amount of water damage from shower overflowing.
Not their fault, but there is currently noisy construction right outside the room windows.

Wonderful stay
We stayed for two nights for the new year. We booked the 'Sylvester package' and had a great night. The service was impeccable and the food great. The room was also beautiful and the bathroom spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There were just a few minor negative details. First, we found the lighting system in the room a bit complicated. It was all centralized on a control panel and was a 'all or nothing' system. Also, we realized that the room temperature could not be set under 20 degrees. Since we like our room to be colder, especially during the night, we had to open the window. It was a bit noisy. Every time we returned to our room, we always found it stuffy. I wouldn't recommend staying at this hotel in the summer.
