Hotel Savoy Bern

Hotel Savoy Bern

8/10 Good
"This property is very nice! My only complaint was the AC didn’t keep the room cool so staff brought us a portable fan that worked perfectly. The property is hard to get to but once we got there, we were happy (except for lack of parking. The public garage was expensive). Location was perfect! Staff were very nice and hotel was very clean. We really enjoyed our stay in Bern."

"Loved the rooftop patio and the kitchen available. It was so nice to cook a meal ourselves as we were away for 3 weeks. It was also great to be able to take leftovers home from restaurants! Laundry and dry bags for floating the river were other highlights of the stay"
