I stayed in a small single room on the 4th floor for two nights. My room was simple but very neat and clean. The layout is a bit strange. Breakfast is ok, but limited. My main challenge was the noise level and long check-in time. On the second night the noise was extremely loud from the theatre near the hotel. It stopped a bit after 11pm but the room was definitely not sound proof and it made for a non-peaceful evening in my room. I also thought it was overpriced for a small single room. But it definitely felt safe.

All staff made us feel very welcome and no question was too much trouble for them. Suggestions were also made to allow us to save money. Great location, a short walk from the main train station and only a few blocks from the old town area. We used the Bern Welcome ticket to take a tram from almost right outside the hotel to the Gurtenbahn and had a lovely lunch at the top and rode the Rodelbahn Had a lovely time in Bern and would stay here again.

Disappointing stay

Arrived at 10 to 4pm, checked in and was given an upgrade. Went to room and it was not ready. Bed being made, then room vacuumed. Very small room, suitcase had to be placed on the floor. Toilet squeezed in between wall and shower, not much room (both of us are average sized people). Could make coffee or tea but no milk available. This room was not an upgrade ! Next night was in an IBIS Hotel - we stayed in a better room !

Our stay at Hotel National Bern was excellent overall. Check-in was smooth and efficient, with friendly staff who provided clear and useful instructions that made settling in easy. The room was clean and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The hotel's central location is perfect for sightseeing, putting Bern's main attractions within easy walking distance. The combination of helpful service, quality accommodations, and prime location made this a great choice for exploring the city. Would definitely recommend and consider staying here again.
