"What a cool place! The interior design here exceeded my wildest expectations. Both eye capturing and functional. At first glance the room seems small and lackluster in the functional area. But after some examination you discover you have everything you need in a very organized and compact formation. ..."

"This was a great hotel for getting to and from the train station as well as the main tourist sights. 2 days a week there is a farmer’s market right outside the hotel. There is a lot of morning traffic and noise, so if you’re a light sleeper, you might want to use the earplugs they provide. It is ..."

An interesting city and easy to get around. As we found elsewhere in Switzerland, food and most things in fact, were expensive, and smoking is pervasive and intrusive. Bern is a great kick off point for train travel to the Alps and other cities.
