NH Bern The Bristol

8/10 Good

"All great."

Moxy Bern Expo

8/10 Good

"The hotel was really funky! Just felt a bit ‘different’ which I liked - a lot! The room was massive, as was the bathroom. The bed was comfy although my son said the sofa bed was quite hard. There wasn’t any storage in the room, just a rack for hanging stuff. This was fine, but some things need a draw or a shelf, not a hangar! And it would have been really nice if it had had a fridge and a kettle for making hot drinks. The gym was ok - not that much in it if ur not into strength training, but the weights were good and varied! Breakfast was nice - lovely breads, fresh fruit, and cereal. The cooked option was limited to scrambled eggs and bacon (and a I think waffles) so if that’s your thing you might be disappointed. Lovely coffee too! The staff were a mixed bag! My son had food poisoning on the day we arrived and was sick on the carpet in the bedroom. I asked at reception what I should do about it as I had nothing to clean it with and the lady was quite abrasive - told me she would mention it to housekeeping and that was all she could do. As it was already quite a stressful situation I didn’t feel this was very helpful or empathetic. The guy however was totally the opposite, super friendly, offering to charge my power bank after we arrived late in the afternoon after the shops shut and realised our European adaptor didn’t fit the sockets in Switzerland. Overall though a great little hotel and would stay agin!"

Hotel Bären Am Bundesplatz

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay for four nights with our two kids! The hotel has a fantastic location- very close to the main square, shops, restaurants, and the river (but without being too chaotic or noisy). The staff was very nice and helpful. The communal drink area is very nice to be able to access all day. I also appreciated having laundry and ironing facilities. The only tiny downside was that the dryer didn't really work- things were still wet after 2+ hours. All in all, we had a great time and can't wait to come back!"

Hotel National Bern

8/10 Good

"Check-in was a shambles. The room I’d booked was not available, therefore I was downgraded to a sub-quality room. I had booked for 6 nights, the hotel admitted liability stating they’d stuffed up. Rooms do not have air conditioning, they have fans. If you want a portable air conditioner it costs 25 franks per day (this was waived due to their stuff up). I ended up in the crappy room 3 nights and the correct room 3 nights. Errors like this should not happen. Management was very nice."

Hotel Schweizerhof Bern & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This is just an amazing hotel in the perfect location--right at the entrance to the old city and directly adjacent to the train station. Our room was clean and well appointed, and I can't say enough about the staff, especially the desk clerk who helped us figure out the Aare swimming logistics, She even provided us with a hotel branded dry bag for floating down the river. My only comment is that the AC was not that strong, but the staff did provide us with a supplemental AC unit which cooled the room down considerably. HIGHLY recommend !"

Novotel Bern Expo

8/10 Good

"Hotel was lovely, great location, nicely decorated, helpful staff, delicious breakfast, very nice shampoo/soap (Rituals). The only thing to improve is having a sink in the bathroom and adjustable temperature in the room. We put the temperature on the lowest setting (20C) and we found it incredibly warm and would cutoff in the middle of the night making it even warmer. We were visiting Bern for a few days so it was manageable."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Innere Stadt?

The best area to stay in Innere Stadt, Bern is the Old City, due to its central location and historic character.

The Old City is Bern's historic core, a UNESCO World Heritage site situated on a peninsula formed by the Aare River. It's characterized by its medieval arcades, cobblestone streets, and numerous fountains, making it exceptionally walkable. Key landmarks include the Zytglogge (Clock Tower) and the Bern Minster.

For couples, the Old City is an excellent choice. Its romantic ambiance, pedestrian-friendly streets, and proximity to quality restaurants and boutiques create a memorable experience. You can enjoy strolls along the Aare River or explore the diverse shops hidden within the arcades.

Solo travelers will also find the Old City a convenient and engaging place to stay. Its central location means easy access to public transport, museums, and local eateries.

When is the best time to go to Innere Stadt?

The best time to visit Innere Stadt is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October), offering pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

During these months, the temperatures are mild, making it ideal for exploring the city's cobblestone streets and outdoor attractions like the Zytglogge clock tower and the UNESCO-listed Old Town. You'll find comfortable conditions for walking tours and enjoying outdoor cafes without the peak summer heat or the chill of winter.

Couples often appreciate the romantic ambiance of Innere Stadt during these times. The spring brings blooming flowers to the Bundeshaus (Federal Palace) gardens, while autumn showcases beautiful foliage along the Aare River. It's a great time for leisurely strolls and intimate dining experiences.

Solo travelers will also find these seasons appealing for a relaxed yet fulfilling visit. With fewer tourists, it's easier to navigate popular sites and enjoy a more authentic experience.

Where can I find the best nightlife in Innere Stadt?

Innere Stadt, the historic center of Bern, offers several options for evening entertainment, primarily concentrated in a few key areas.

The area around the Zytglogge (Clock Tower) and Kramgasse is a central point for evening activities. You'll find a selection of traditional pubs, wine bars, and some smaller cocktail lounges here. Many establishments offer outdoor seating during warmer months, which is popular for enjoying an aperitif.

For a slightly more energetic experience, the streets leading down from the Bundeshaus (Federal Palace) towards the Aare River, particularly around Münstergasse and Gerechtigkeitsgasse, have a mix of bars and some establishments with live music, often jazz or acoustic sets. These venues are typically smaller and more intimate.

The area near the main train station, though not strictly within the historical Innere Stadt, is easily accessible and features some larger bars and a few clubs that stay open later than most venues in the old town.
