This grand old building is like a museum from yesteryear. Our experience from check-in to check-out was wonderful. Our room was huge - in fact, we had two bedrooms, which is probably uncommon, so we were just lucky. Many people's reviews complain about street noise (trams), but I think that's less of a problem in winter, maybe because of the triple-glazed windows which are kept closed. In the summer people tend to want to leave windows open (no air conditioning), and then the noise might be problematic. BTW, the receptionists issue ear plugs when you check in, but we didn't use it. The bed was super comfy, and the pillows were soft and dreamy. The 3-piece bathroom was well equipped. The room furnishings were basic, but in good condition, and functional. Breakfast was wonderful, with lots of continental food and beverage options on offer. The hotel is located within walking distance of the main station in Bern, and the old city (10 minutes either way). As a result of this location, visitors are surrounded by tourist attractions, public transport, restaurants, bars, shopping, super markets, and more.

Really enjoyed our stay here. It was an ideal location. Our room faced the street but we couldn’t hear anything with the window closed. The breakfast was great with many options. Our mistake as we didn’t look to see if there was a mini fridge in the room (there wasn’t) but they were able to store a few things we had already bought for my cousin who is gluten free (thanks again Emma!).

It's more of a boutique style hotel rather than a full-service hotel, but the location was great, the service excellent, and the provided breakfast was substantial. Cool 125+-year-old elevator.

The location of this hotel is close to the train station. Overall, it was alright. The room was on smaller side but had a balcony that you could stand on. The trams had stops right outside the hotel so if you had the windows open, you can hear the very loud squealing of the trams turning on the track. The window did stop almost all of the noise though. The bed is on the harder side and the pillow very soft. The breakfast was good and free. I stayed for 2 nights and I don’t think it’s one I’d want to stay in for a longer period of time. Overall, it was a room to spend the night in and it did its job

High Standard of Customer Service
We are seniors in our 70s and 60s visiting Switzerland for the 1st time. We reserved 1-night stay in Hotel National Bern thru Hotel.com then decided to use Bern as base to do day trips, but at last minute no more room available thru Hotel.com. We reserved additional 3 nights thru Hotel National’s web site. During checking-in, Lady Tanja at reception desk looked at our physical conditions and offered possibility of 4-night stay without changing room. There were difficulties of two reservations in different room categories. With the help of her colleague Lady Malwina, Tanja patiently spent time to comb thru options and later informed us that the difficulty was resolved and we would not need to change room during our stay. The two lady’s warm help to seniors represents the high standard of customer service of Hotel National’s Bern. We have also experienced great service in breakfast room and daily room cleaning. Thank you.
