Expensive for what you get. Rooms and corridors are cramped, difficult to find anyone at the front desk when you need them, breakfast not included in the high room rate. Location on Bern's main street is good, but our room faced the street and we were awakened several times each night by noisy carousers in the street below. more

Although the hotel is well located in the old part of Bern, there is no air conditioning so the room was very hot. Because the hotel is on a noisy main street, leaving the windows open wasn't an option. The room is quaint but there is only one fire exit and the fire door was propped open with a door... more

Not a four star hotel!!! Outdated furniture with doubtful stains on headboard of bed and decor coussins. Dirty curtains. Bad smell of old housing. Outdated shower in bathroom-no bathtube in a four star hotel!!. Many smokers. Suite is even a smokers room. Elevator was brocken after 24 hours and no one helped to carry our luggage from the fourth floor... more

The breakfast was very expensive and we chose to eat somewhere else in town. We only stayed 1 night before we went to Lucerne. It was clean and the staff was nice. more

I stayed here 2 nights this October. From the moment I walked in, I was pleased. Note, that the street out front is under major construction so, if you plan to stay here soon, be sure to take a room in the back of the hotel. I was disappointed about the construction, but that's not the fault of the hotel... more

We live in Zurich, wanted a night away from the kids and chose Bern and the Hotel Belle Epoque. Bern was great! Well worth a day or two; good restaurants and it's beautiful. The Belle Epoque was NOT worth the 280 Sfr. Let me qualify that by saying that we usually stay in 5-star properties, and don't mind spending a... more

My stay at the Belle Epoque was better than the usual European stay. The room, though not large, was unique. The closet was decorated to look like stacked trunks. The mini-fridge and tv were also consealed in this unique design. The bed was most comfortable when snuggling with the down comforter. Mr. Musfeld, the hotelier, took time to explain the... more
