We had an excellent stay at the Hotel Schweizerhof Bern for our honeymoon trip. The staff were amazing and so very helpful, and even provided some special extras for our honeymoon, which really made us feel special. If we return to Bern, we will be absolutely staying again. Amazing hotel.
Fantastic hotel in a great location right at the edge of old town. Valet parking was helpful
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is a classic hotel with very modern upgrades.
Highly recommended
Excellent, warm, helpful and pleasant staff. Excellent location close to train station and old town. Their manager, Jacqueline, was very helpful, making sure that we had a pleasant stay
We have multiple rooms for our privacy. We also have a nice view and it's a non-smoking area. Rooms are very spacious and clean. Everything we need, we have it. It's very comfy! Staff were very friendly, very professionals. All the tourist spots are walking distance. We get to enjoy walking. Weather is good too!
The hotel is right by the station which is very handy for a multi centre holiday and it is very central for everything you may want to do in Bern. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The roof terrace is beautiful and the rooms are really well equipped really comfy beds and brilliant showers. We didn’t eat at the restaurant so can’t comment on that, breakfast was 40 chf per head which seemed a lot so we used local cafes instead. There was also a 200 chf deposit per night … we were there 3 nights and had 2 rooms so 1200 chf and that was unexpected and seemed steep but it was returned within a couple of days of us leaving- something to be prepared for from a cashflow point of view.

The hotel rooms were great and luxuries. The staff was very helpful and did everything to ensure that we had a great stay. The only issue was the AC, it did not blow any cold air and the thermostat in the room did not want to go below 20 degrees. Switzerland was having a heat wave so it would have been nice to cool off in the room.
The staff was very professional and kind. The location is excellent, and the facilities are very clean and well-appointed. I didn't care for the chandeliers in the room that could not be turned off. The staff was unable to determine how we could just use the lamps in the room without overhead lighting. It was a minor annoyance, but prevents me from awarding five stars.
we had a great stay here. the location is perfect and the views and service at the rooftop bar were amazing. the room/bed were comfortable and the staff were super nice. would not hesitate to stay here again.
Everything about our stay was as hoped, the only glitch was the pocket doors in our suite separating the additional bed/room our daughter was in wouldn’t close and needed repair. The hotel was very apologetic when we let them know.
Staff and property were amazing and a great location.
