This hotel was much better than I had expected from its two star rating. Above all, it is clean and fresh, with little signs of any wear and tear. The building is not new, but the inside seems very recently refurbished, and the room as well as the breakfast room were shiny and modern. The stone staircase suggested some echo... More

Booking via www.berninfo.com, the official tourist site you can get 3 nights for the price of 2 at this hotel at weekends, making at less than £40 a night. It was clean, quiet, buffet breakfast offered good selection. Only 3 stops on bus 12 from central station or about 12 minutes walk. I had a room at the back which... More

Finding an affordable place to stay for a week in Bern was not easy! In the end, after considering the reviews here on TA, I decided on the Arabelle. I played around for a while on expedia and the hotel website and got the best deal by booking directly with the hotel for the first 3 nights and with expedia... More

I arrived following a lengthy journey by train from Reading via Paris at 10:15pm on a Sunday night in the snow to find the door locked and despite following instructions was unable to gain entry until a fellow hotel guest happened to arrive back and let me in. So the main point to note is do not arrive after 10pm.... More

My husband and I spent one night in this hotel. It felt a little like a college dorm room with two low twin beds, two closets, a small desk, and a small bathroom. Our room backed up onto an alley, and was a near a busy intersection and bus route. So, it was pretty noisy with the windows open, but... More

The hotel is about a 5- to 10-minute walk from the main train station, the first part of the journey being uphill. If you have heavy bags, or it is raining, you may want to take a taxi, otherwise just walk. The hotel is OK, but nothing special. The rooms were clean, but Switzerland is expensive, so you do not...

I've traveled and lived in both Asia and Europe for several years and know what to expect when I book a mid-price hotel. So I was shocked at what happened when I called for help late at night at the Arabelle. I should have known there was a problem when I saw the room was merely a white dormitory shell.... More

While the city center is east of the main railway station, this hotel is on a hill to the west close to the university. It's only a 10 minute walk to an elevator that takes you down to the station. The location is not really central, but fine. The room I stayed at, which in fairness was one of the... More
