Allotjament ideal per famílies al bell mig del centre històric
És un allotjament ideal per visitar el centre històric, molt aprop de l'estació de tren caminant (10') i al bell mig de la Torre del rellotge. La recepcionista era un encant, la més atenta i servicial del viatge a Suïssa. És un lloc ideal per famílies, pots cuinar-hi i posar rentadora, si et cal, per 10 francs (et deixen el detergent, rentes i asseques). L'habitació correcte i neta i les instal·lacions també.
L'habitació donava a un carrer amb bars, molt animat a la nit i amb la finestra oberta hi havia molt soroll. Ara bé, si tanques la finestra l'aïllament acústic és total.

Good choice to see the city
Very friendly staff! The hotel provides Bern city guest card. The room was simple but enough for a short stay. The bathrooms and showers are shared but never needed to wait when I needed to use them. Paid laundry (includes detergent) available. Really nice location.
There was a party on the street below the windows till 22/23 so if someone wants or needs to go to sleep earlier, sometimes it might not be the best choice.

Nice, convenient, comfortable stay!
Nice and clean hostel with very friendly and helpful staff! The beds were comfortable and it was not cramped in the room. There was even a sink in the room. Location was right in the center and incredibly convenient for walking and public transport.
My only complaint was that another guest removed my laundry from the washing machine within 2 minutes from the cycle ending. Although this was not a reflection of the hostel and rather a concern with another guest, I might recommend the hostel posts some rules for using the machines and removing other guests' laundry.

Bueno ubicación, pero mal olor.
Ubicación perfecta para recorrer la ciudad y además te dan la opción de transporte público gratis con la reservación.
Había un mal olor en el edificio, probablemente cuando limpiaron lo hicieron con un trapo sucio.

Great potential.
Excellent staff, excellent location, great information and assistance, very helpful that they let you store luggage. They try their best to keep it clean.
They charge you $3 for a cup of coffee. That should be included. $12 for a load of laundry is also pretty steep. Guests who do not respect the rules or clean up after themselves, act like they are in their own home. For example, it says no food in the rooms. Group of young guys carrying packs of food to their rooms. Ladies restroom destroyed by the guys ignoring the sign, using it, and leaving water, tissue, and smell everywhere. Kitchen left a mess, couples laying all over the couches and making out like they were alone was one of the more bizarre things I've seen in a hostel. 3 nights in a row, older couple take the remote, turn on the TV, blast it on full volume to a movie of their liking with their food, drinks and snacks everywhere, making out, taking up the couches. It was the strangest and most inappropriate behavior I've seen in the common area of a supposed hostel. SO awkward. Family with screaming baby/toddlers. A barking dog. Yelling people. There need to be some parameters on all of this, its mayhem. Unfortunately the staff have to step up to moderate some of this.

Would probably stay again
Great location, very central to everything and transport. Lovely staff. Good communal areas.
Wish there were more bathrooms, but never fighting over one.

Good as long as you wear earplugs
Large common area and kitchen, comfortable beds that each have their own reading light, shelf and power outlets, large closets to store your luggage in and come with a key. Shower was nice and warm with good water pressure. City tax includes public transit in Bern!
The location has its benefits but also downsides, such as the noise from the nightlife down below. Even with the windows closed it was pretty loud, couldn’t open them at night because of the noise and rooms got very warm and stuffy as a result. In the common area there’s a vending machine that is so noisy that it’s not relaxing to sit there for a longer period of time. Reception closes between 12 and 15 but luckily I found a member of staff who could open the luggage storage for me so I could still drop off my backpack when I arrived at 13.

Empfehlung! Super netter Service. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder einchecken.
DIe Lage ist sehr zentral und nicht zu weit vom Bahnhof entfernt. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, auch die Gemeinschaftsräume inkl. Bad/WC sind sehr sauber.
Der Aufzug ging nicht bzw. uns wurde nicht empfohlen, ihn zu nutzen, da er so alt war. Mit dem vielen Gepäck, was wir hatten, musst man schon 2x gehen.
