  • Bern is full of these fountain statues. This one is in the street where Einstein wrote his light quantum hypothesis. My hypothesis is that this statue made him wonder what this is about as well.

Great little hotel in a very convenient location. Helpful staff, clean and modern rooms, good breakfast. Parking turned out to be pretty good as well, if you don’t mind waking up/down stairs to the nearby parking garage.

Location is perfect. Staff were kind and friendly. But the bathroom was very tiny and there was a constant sewer smell from the bathroom and heard a water coming down in the pipes when someone using bathroom from upstairs. I was glad I only stayed one night there.

The room was kind of funky with a luminescent yellow wall that housed the washroom. We liked it! It was small, but had a fridge and even some nice amenities, like slippers. Sadly though, the noise outside the room was disruptive, even with ear plugs. There is a hostel nearby plus there was construction outside, across the street there at the end of October.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found a lot to like about the area. The location was excellent—very walkable, with plenty of shops and places to eat right nearby, which made it really convenient to explore and enjoy the surroundings. However, the hotel itself was a bit rundown and not as clean as I would have hoped. While it was a decent place in terms of convenience, the maintenance and cleanliness definitely left a bit to be desired.
