I stayed there a long time ago, July '09 to be correct, and it was a simple night stop on a trip through Bern. The hostel was fine and had everything you needed in a hostel. I can't remember the price but I think it was decent. I stayed with a group of friends and there were some others from... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed at the youthhostel for almost 10 days in Sept2012.It is too expensive for just offering a bed and a very poor breakfast.Some of the people working there were very polite but at the beginning of the 2nd week we decided to book 4 days more they said ok and the next morning when i had...

I liked the position near the main station and few steps from the river, very friendly staff. I didnt like: needed to pay 4CHF per night because I was not a member of Youth hostel association (this was not mentioned on hostelworld site), strange system for accessing wifi (1st - add hostel number for the day, 2nd step - you...

I stayed here for a few nights and found it to be okay. The rooms were clean and the breakfasts were good. Close to train station. The internet service (wifi) is spotty. Not great, not at all bad...just average. It lacked a certain atmosphere, that's all.

It is youth hostel, so don't expect the luxury. The dorms are clean. Breackfast is nice, even for Vegeterian peoples. There is the 3 Dosha hotel, which is Indian pure veg restaurant, I have not visited it. There is one more restaurant, Tibits. This is mostly Veg hotel, with some exception with use of Egg. The items with Egg are... More

I stayed only one night in Bern and was lucky that in our four bed dorm there were only two of us. The room wasn't fancy but clean and I guess it was big enough for four people - maybe not if you're traveling with a lot of luggage. There were a lot of lockers outside the room. The showers... More

Spent four nights in the hostel in late September while using Bern as a base to see other parts of Switzerland. Very convenient to the train station although at the bottom of a steep hill. Bonus is that it is just across the road from the Aare river. As expected, very basic accomodation but much more affordable than pensions or... More

I stayed here for one night in late May 2011. It is a little pricier than other Swiss youth hostels, especially when you need to add the 6 CHF per night Hostelling International membership fee. However, they do provide free breakfast (a good range of cereals, breads, spreads and hot drinks) and nice spacious lockers outside the rooms. The rooms... More

This hostel was totally NOT our thing (read: we would not stay here again), but it depends on your needs/interests. The location is pretty good -- near the water, down a steep hill from Parliament -- and they do serve a basic breakfast that is included in the cost of your stay. Service, however, was lacking, as was the quality... More

Much like the other Swiss HI hostel I stayed in (in Zurich), this would be rated one or two stars if not for the fact that it's in Switzerland and thus has to be considered relative to the overall sky-high lodging prices there. The hostel is clean and nice-looking, the beds are as comfortable as you'd expect from a hostel.... More
