Good Hotel, Great Staff and Good Breakfast. No Parking on site but nearby garage @ 5 min walking distance. Noisy area due to tram running all the time but we were able to sleep without any issue. Easily Walkable to old town :-)

Really enjoyed our stay here. It was an ideal location. Our room faced the street but we couldn’t hear anything with the window closed. The breakfast was great with many options. Our mistake as we didn’t look to see if there was a mini fridge in the room (there wasn’t) but they were able to store a few things we had already bought for my cousin who is gluten free (thanks again Emma!).

Comfortable Stay
It's more of a boutique style hotel rather than a full-service hotel, but the location was great, the service excellent, and the provided breakfast was substantial. Cool 125+-year-old elevator.

The location of this hotel is close to the train station. Overall, it was alright. The room was on smaller side but had a balcony that you could stand on. The trams had stops right outside the hotel so if you had the windows open, you can hear the very loud squealing of the trams turning on the track. The window did stop almost all of the noise though. The bed is on the harder side and the pillow very soft. The breakfast was good and free. I stayed for 2 nights and I don’t think it’s one I’d want to stay in for a longer period of time. Overall, it was a room to spend the night in and it did its job

High Standard of Customer Service
We are seniors in our 70s and 60s visiting Switzerland for the 1st time. We reserved 1-night stay in Hotel National Bern thru Hotel.com then decided to use Bern as base to do day trips, but at last minute no more room available thru Hotel.com. We reserved additional 3 nights thru Hotel National’s web site. During checking-in, Lady Tanja at reception desk looked at our physical conditions and offered possibility of 4-night stay without changing room. There were difficulties of two reservations in different room categories. With the help of her colleague Lady Malwina, Tanja patiently spent time to comb thru options and later informed us that the difficulty was resolved and we would not need to change room during our stay. The two lady’s warm help to seniors represents the high standard of customer service of Hotel National’s Bern. We have also experienced great service in breakfast room and daily room cleaning. Thank you.

This city was so enchanting! One of my top 3 I visited. Traveling by train and bus I try to avoid Taxis. This hotel is located within close proximity to those. The staff was very accommodating and helped me more than once with the map and directions. They were gracious to hold my bags past check out until my train was ready to leave which gave me more time to site see without lugging my suitcases around. Very good English speakers so I was very comfortable,!

Broken table Broken sink Bed has No headboard No coffee No luggage rack Minimal furniture (one small wooden chair and one leather chair in a junior suite!) No shower cap, conditioner, lotion, and the only supply in the bathroom is a wall mounted body wash and shampoo (same bottle). That same wall mounted unit is also on the sink for hand soap. Club nearby with loud music Elevator only fits 2 people and doesn’t go to ground level without reception pressing something. It is a hostel not a hotel
