Hotels near Egelsee, Berne

If you like rooms that smell of stale cigarettes, yellow bed sheets, florescent tube lights, gaps under the doors to let all the noise in, and if you like a sink beside your bed, then this is the hotel for you!!! The reception is mostly unstaffed too so you have to use the people in the hotel across the street who aren't really interested to help because it's not their hotel. They managed to change my rooms on the second night to a room that smells 10x better but still a bit funky. This hotel is in desperate need of refurbishment. Location is great in the centre of Bern and it was cheaper than most other hotels but that's the only thing going for this place. AVOID this hotel.

Liked the location of the hotel. However, we had booked it for a/c but the air conditioning was not working in any of the 3 rooms we had so it was very disappointing. Extremely hot and uncomfortable at night.

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.

PROS - Modern clean rooms with comfortable beds and reading lights. - Fast and easy route to the centre via the bus (free to guests!) - Black out blinds - Two bed apartment was very spacious - Laundry facilities (washer and dryer, 2 francs each) were really helpful, and clearly signposted - Parking including reasonably fast electric car charging - Concierge was available, helpful and very friendly. CONS - The air con was very slow even when turned up to the highest setting, and rooms were hot. Windows don’t open. - The breakfast was abysmal value. No fruit selection (just the usual bulk-bought fruit salad; it doesn’t cost much to put some apples and seasonal fruit in a bowl to choose from!). The scrambled eggs were rated inedible by the whole family. No baguette or whole loaves to slice, just large individual rolls and some white sliced processed bread.

The hotel staff is very friendly and happy to answer my questions. They respect the guests very much. The hotel environment is very good, comfortable and clean. Only 5 minutes away from the train station, very convenient There are not too many breakfast choices, but they are all acceptable and taste good

You can’t beat the location of the Hotel Schweizerhof Bern & Spa which is just a few minutes walk from the Bern train station and in the heart of Old Town Bern. The room was cozy and we had a view of a church and plaza (see photo). There is a spa which is very nice but the jacuzzi was lukewarm and the sauna was too hot. The service was wonderful as you would expect from a 5 star hotel. The breakfast was served in a beautiful room with made to order eggs, fresh juices, honey served in the honeycomb. My only disappointment was the roof top restaurant. There is a new Filipino restaurant and the food is like street food at fine dining prices. Next time I would eat downstairs at the French restaurant. I would return to this hotel on my next trip to Bern.

Optimale location for people coming by train and to move to the city.Near the hotel there is the crossroad of all trams and buses...Very large and clean rooms,the staff at the reception is very kind and available to our requests.What to say? Excellent price quality!! ,,,Numbers 1!!

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.

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

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.
