Hotels Near Waisenhausplatz in Berne

the hotel it is pretty close to the train station and the center of the city, good service and rooms, unfortunatly the restaurant was close while i was there. nice old style hotel. Didn't like a lot the fact that the windows of the room were somehow connected to a common space.

I had a very pleasent stay at Hotel Marthahaus. The (rather small) room was lovely, spotlessly clean, had a clean and fresh look but still felt cosy. The mattress was excellent and there was ample space in the wardrobe. My room had a nice little balcony towards a nice green courtyard (which apart from the hotel is surrounded by residential bulidings). The hotel is also very conveniently located in a nice quiet neighbourhood a mere two busstops (or a ten to fifteen-minute walk) to/from the train station and city centre and old town. The only thing that wasn't ideal is that the otherwise strong wifi cut out every now and then (apparently it depends on which room you have), but it usually came back on after a few seconds.

I must say, my recent stay at this establishment was tainted by the presence of an employee who seemed determined to mar an otherwise passable experience. Allow me to recount the unfortunate encounter with this particular member of the hotel staff, whose ineptitude and condescension left much to be desired. My ordeal began with the seemingly standard check-in time of 3pm. However, I was forced to entrust my luggage to their ”luggage room” due to this policy. Upon my return for check-in, I made the grievous error of inquiring about my luggage. The receptionist who had taken over displayed an insufferable attitude, insisting that I retrieve my own bags, as if I had been suddenly promoted to the hotel's porter. To make matters worse, I was informed that the air conditioning throughout the entire hotel was non-operational. This announcement was delivered in a manner befitting a stern warden, devoid of any apology or offer of compensation for this inconvenience. It was only after I mustered the audacity to request compensation that she begrudgingly muttered, ”I can offer you free parking,” as if this paltry gesture should suffice. Regrettably, this 'compensation' left much to be desired. When I inquired about the parking fee, which, unsurprisingly, was exorbitant at 18 CHF, I could barely contain my astonishment. At this juncture, the receptionist, dripping with condescension, remarked, ”Yeah, this is Switzerland here,” insinuating that I, a mere Belgian, should be grateful for their overpriced parking, as if it were some sort of privilege. It is worth noting that it is the guests who fund her livelihood, and a modicum of respect should be obligatory. As if this litany of incompetence wasn't enough, when I discovered that my EU plug was incompatible with Swiss electrical outlets, I had no choice but to return to the reception desk. Once again, the indifferent receptionist displayed a complete lack of interest in my predicament. She dismissively informed me that no adapters were available, and the sole adapter they possessed had already been claimed by another guest. Her apathy and unprofessional demeanor were profoundly disheartening. In conclusion, it is my sincere belief that this receptionist's woeful performance reflects poorly on the hotel's overall reputation. She embodies rudeness and ineptitude to such an extent that it is clear she is profoundly unsuited for a career in hospitality. I implore her employers to reconsider her place within the industry; perhaps a career outside of customer interaction, such as working in a factory, would better suit her temperament and capabilities. On a somewhat brighter note, I feel compelled to acknowledge that the other five members of the hotel staff I encountered were, without exception, lovely, warm, and highly professional individuals. It is a tremendous shame that this particular receptionist stood in stark contrast to her colleagues, as she was the sole staff member who appeared to be disinterest

Si buscas un hotel silencioso, con desayuno gratuito pero colapsado para desayunar tranquilo, con agua gratis en máquina, sin escritorio en habitación, sin armario para dejar la ropa, simplemente lo dejas todo al descubierto en un colgador que tienes en la habitación, con puerta compartida entre wc y el plato de ducha, es decir si cierras la puerta del wc dejas abierta la zona de plato ducha y viceversa. Cada vez que bajas o subes por escaleras o por ascensor tienes que llevar contigo la llave del hotel en la mano. El hotel se encuentra a 20 minutos del centro caminando o 7 minutos en tranvía . Tienes el edificio donde se guardan los autobuses urbanos de la ciudad con lo que la orientación de la habitación a lo mejor te importa. Si lo que buscas es todo lo contrario vete a otro hotel. Nuestra agente de viajes nos comentó que el hotel no permite reservar habitaciones con dos camas. Cuando llegamos al hotel no quedaban habitaciones de dos camas a pesar de que nuestra estancia era de cinco noches. El recepcionista se equivoco y nos quería hacer pagar otra vez la reserva, nos enseñaba con una libreta y un bolígrafo lo que debíamos como si fuéramos tontos. El secador del pelo se recalienta y comentándolo dicen que lo miraran pero que es una medida de seguridad y no obtuvimos respuesta. Todos tenemos secador del pelo en casa y no se recalienta a los dos minutos de reloj. Al final por nuestros propios medios descubrimos que utilizándolo a velocidad de tortuga en velocidad uno funcionaba eso sí perdiendo tu tiempo. Por mis comentarios se puede intuir que no volveré a este hotel por el trato recibido y porque servicios como el desayuno no tenemos que pagarlo todos los huéspedes sino solo los que queremos disfrutar de un desayuno tranquilo y en paz. Lo mejor el agua fría, el aire acondicionado. La limpieza es muy mejorable. Encontramos una mancha indescriptible en el wc cuando entramos de los anteriores huéspedes y que tardaron dos días en limpiar.Adjunto fotos.

HOTEL AMBASSADOR BERN An ideal mix of good location, excellent staff & facilities We chose Hotel Ambassador primarily because it offered free parking service as we were travelling on rent-a-car and didn't have much idea about parking houses in Bern But the hotel turned out to be much better than our expectations. POSITIVES (+) The location is brilliant especially if you're new to the city. Close proximity to the tramp stop and ideally located in a neat, clean neighborhood. (+) I got a message from the hotel one day in advance summarizing all details of the stay and the city. Special thanks to Dominika Motykova who sent this message which really helped me book my free tramp tickets and get ready for the hotel stay (+) The staff and service are very good. Smooth check-in and check-out experience (+) I got a two bedroom option as we were a family of 2 adults and 2 children. This was really awesome as kids were independent and loving their own room (+) Views from the room especially with the barn and cattle side is breathtaking. Highly recommended to go for this view instead of city / old town view (+) Abel at the bar was very friendly and gentle during service hours in the evening. He chit chatted about our country, stay and gave advice on the tourist attractions. NEGATIVES (-) The hotel is slightly outdated in terms of infrastructure with old styled keys for opening doors, slightly old furniture & upholstery. The walls and carpeting inside the hotel is 90s styled. (-) The most painful aspect I experienced was the bed which was of poor quality with the mattress & pillows being really off. I was sleepless on both nights that I stayed here. (-) The pool is not heated and has limited space for people with only 4-5 beds and chairs (-) Access from basement parking to the main hotel is through a ringer which new comers may not know. No clear signage or messaging is written anywhere on how to go inside from the basement. I had to literally drag all the luggage by myself to the lobby for elevator access Overall, based on service / location / neighborhood, the place is Highly Recommended Rating: 8 / 10

Take the tram for ten minutes to the city, it is a fast hotel like home. However, it is OK to go out at the tram stop. The bath room and the toilet are separate. There is no place to put clothes in the bath, so you have to take off your clothes to get in. Value for money ok.

Visiting from Ireland so the FOC public transport with Bern welcome app was fantastic , extremely frequent 9A bus service right outside , that was the highlight of this hotel , but in fairness I’d was reasonably priced on a hotel booking site , we did not book breakfast at €26pp per day , but hopped on the bus to the co-op , highly recommend, cost under €30 per day for 3adults 1 child , Cleaners coming into the room at 22:30 and 8:30 while we were in bed was unwelcome though , carpets need replacing as they are all I can say is filthy and smell bad . Pillows are tiny but bed comfy . Staff are friendly and can speak English very well which was a huge bonus for which I’m grateful . Tea & coffee making facilities but no iron in the room . FYI check with your mobile provider how your plan works in Switzerland as I was charged €66 the minute I landed ( nothing to do with hotel , just a heads up !) Bern is beautiful, I was visiting family and won’t hesitate to use this hotel again ( just hope the carpets will be changed !€ , so convenient to get to .

Stayed here to be close to the stadium, which is a 5 min walk away on the other side of the Wankdorf train station. Room was a reasonable size and clean, good shower and firm bed with decent pillows. The bathroom sink had trouble draining which was a bit annoying. Service at check-in/out was on the slow side and could be improved. Bar/lounge area was nice and had a good variety of drinks/snacks as well as board games and a fussball table. Lots of work stations available too. Overall, it was a good value for Switzerland and fine for one night. Even if you don't need to be near the stadium, it is a good budget option in Bern since you get free local public transport and there are frequent trains to the main Bern station (3 min ride).

This hotel is a short bus ride from the main train station. The rooms are modern & ours was large. No one & no instructions on how to turn on the lights or operate the roll down shutters or anything else in the room. It was frustrating. There are large patio doors (no patio though) that open with electric roll down shutters. But our room faced busy train tracks & so leaving those doors open meant hearing VERY frequent train traffic late into the night & then starting again in the early morning. It wasn’t pleasant. Another thing to know about this hotel is the A/C is controlled & is central to the ENTIRE hotel and it’s not cool in the rooms🥵. There is NO adjusting it in your room or for your room 🥵. It is just what it is. We were advised to open our patio doors to get more air🤪. That would work if it’s cool outside AND there were not the train traffic! There is no ventilation fan in the bathroom and that just adds humidity to the room with no way to vent it. So this hotel is modern meets we don’t trust you. We would not stay here again & from now on even if the hotel says there is a/c we will have to ask the further question about who controls it & the temp.

Super Unterkunft. Von A-Z hat alles geklappt. Eine tolle Unterkunft mit Kindern. Am Abend war es ab 22.00 uhr sehr ruhig im Hof und auch mit offenen Fenstern lässt es sich so gut schlafen. Das Frühstück war zum Geniessen in einem schönen Saal. Allgemein ist diese Jugendherberge wunderschön eingerichtet. Das Museum ist top und mit Kindern sehr gut machbar. Es gibt ein Rätselspass, basteln, Truhen öffnen, Schatzkisten und vieles mehr. Es lohnt sich dieses Museum zu besuchen. Diese Unterkunft ist nur zum Empfehlen
