It wasn't worth the price and I wouldn't stay here again. Check in and check out were easy, but the beds in the dorms are first-come first-served and are not assigned, so it's difficult to accommodate disabilities. There is no privacy curtain, and the room lights are quite bright. You have to make your bed yourself, and the bathrooms are at the opposite end of the building. The bathrooms were absolutely filthy and the toilets full every time I went in. The lockers were nice because they were activated by your key card, but with the large windows, no bed curtains, and so many people in a room, there's no privacy to change unless you use the bathrooms, (which were not a good option). The mattresses are nothing more than a few inches of memory foam and you can feel the wood frame underneath. The staff did not mention that dinner in the cafeteria/restaurant has to be reserved in advance (they apparently don't have enough meals for the whole hotel), which was really upsetting to discover at dinnertime when it was pouring rain outside. The only saving grace is that breakfast is included and it's a full buffet, which is nice, but it's not worth the rest of the stay. I wouldn't recommend.

The woman who worked at the front desk at this hotel was awful. She was so cold and standoffish and completely unhelpful, so we had a negative opinion of the place from the start. Positives: The hotel is in a nice area by the river, and the park across the street is extremely fun and lively with a nice cafe. We really enjoyed hanging out and eating there while we did some people watching. Negatives: Apart from the staff, the biggest issue with the hotel was the room we were given. It was very hot, no A/C, and our room didn't have a window. Unable to sleep without any air circulation, we had to pay another $75 to upgrade our room. The new room we were given had a window, but the toilet ran very loudly all night long. It sounded like someone was constantly taking a shower. The whole experience just felt like a bad joke, and we were so glad to move on after our 1-night stay.

This hostel is family-friendly and it felt safe as a solo female traveller. There is a continental breakfast that is free. The staff was responsive to questions and multilingual if you are traveling internationally. The only downside is that parking is sparse since it is in the city's center. Other than that, it's a fantastic base since one can walk to restaurants/bars, shops, historical sites, and supermarkets.

Excellent place for a short visit to Bern. The only disadvantage is a very poor wifi conection in the separate building, I was hunting the signal in my room! It is not difficult to improve it a bit:)

The breakfast starts from 6:30. It was really great. You can enjoy different type of hams and cheeses. There was a room for bicycle. So the hostel is friendly for cyclists as well.

The staff was friendly and the room had the essentials. I do believe that the main problem was with my roommates but it was not a huge deal breaker. I would prefer a better way to get through the shower and bathroom

We were very pleased with the stay our young ones had at the youth hostel. They stayed in a 2-bunk room with private bathroom. It had a small table with 2 stools, and separate shower and toilet rooms. The handbasin was in a separate space as well. They had a few problems with everything getting wet in the shower room but other than that everything was fine. They said that the breakfast was excellent with lots of healthy choices. They could walk to everything.

Very modern hostel! Lockers to store your luggage, plugs to charge your phone near every bed. Located close to the main train station (it’s down a hill, but once you get to the hostel you get a free bus pass and you can take the funicular back up). Breakfast was ok, but not extraordinary. Only thing is that we don’t get a good connection in the rooms (well not in mine), and having 8 people in the same room can make it hard to sleep. I was glad I brought earplugs !

Very attractive, new, clean hostel in an excellent location. Walking distance from train station, old town, and the best place to swim in the Aare. Spacious room. Shared bathrooms. Note: room does not come with towels or soap.

The facilities were nice and clean, however I was very disappointed that even though I booked to stay in the women's dorm, the reception allowed a random man to stay in the dorm. When I spoke to reception about him, they did nothing, even though there was no man's name listed on the reservation. It was weird and uncomfortable and I definitely wouldn't recommend. They shouldn't allow you to book to stay in a women's dorm if it's going to end up being co-ed. If I knew that was going to be the case, I would have paid extra to get a private room somewhere for my own comfort.
