For a mostly automated hotel, I found it cozy and the skeleton crew staff to be super helpful. The room was larger than I expected (based on the website images) and everything was modern, clean, and in working order. Would definitely recommend!

Hotel La Pergola
The surrounding area was very nice and the room, though somewhat small, was quiet for an urban area. The breakfast was outstanding. We would stay again if we revisited Bern.

There is a grocery store on the first floor but not much choice for restaurants. Silvana was amazing host with directions, recommendations and even umbrellas! Trains are next to hotel so convenient but noisy if you like the windows open.
