Room is clean and spacious but more important that it's well-ventilated with cool air in this unusually hot weather in Switzerland in late September! No skiing during this visit... Hotel is a couple minutes from the train station, which I took from Zurich as my hubby flew back solo to the U.S. I decided to stay over the weekend to meet up with a friend in Bern and she and I will meet up with my college friend tomorrow... Bed was a king but could be separated into two twins which we need and got. bathroom was clean and has nice aesthetics! Room has a small beverage fridge, coffee pot, and hotel sleepers, yay! Great option while in Bern! Lots of restaurants and shops surrounding the area as well made this hotel the most convenient, and welcoming staff was bonus! 4.5 rounding to 5 for great customer service and special accommodations!!!

The friendly staff helped in so many ways--they gave us a great tourist map, stowed away our luggage after check out so that we could see the city unhindered. Gave us advice on tourist spots to go to. Best of all--the hotel is literally 1.5 blocks from the train station. You literally walk down a pedestrian only street and take an escalator down one floor to the indoor train station (Bern's mall-like gathering spot with restaurants and stores). What could be more convenient than that? Truly an awesome place to stay!

I'm chuffed that I went all the way to Bern to eat at Werner Rothen's restaurant. This is now one…read moreof my favourite restaurants. Werner Rothen is a well-travelled, creative and exceptionally passionate chef de cuisine. The restaurant's fish cuisine is particularly exceptional. The lobster (poached with vanilla and served with verjus, apple and coconut milk) was truly inspired, beautifully presented on Hering Berlin plates, Chef Rothen's signature dish. The restaurant's amuse bouches are also quite spectacular. Head pastry chef Gerald Guerin is canton Bern's best pastry chef, one of Switzerland's best. Chef Rothen allows him a lot of freedom. He constantly surprises guests with a first class bread selection, wonderful pre-desserts, daring and delicious desserts and perhaps the most varied, dainty friandises that I've seen so far. His desserts are also very emotional, often use rather ordinary ingredients (like Bounty, Snickers and Ovomaltine) and take gourmets back to their childhood sheer genius! The restaurant offers great value for money, which can't be said of every restaurant with a Michelin star and 17 Gault Millau points. My insider's tip: Put your trust in Gerald Guerin and let him play for you. I let him freely serve me whatever he wanted for CHF 50.- and boy, was I surprised! I enjoyed an amazing chocolate Variation, made with luxurious Valrhona coverture, including brioche and home-made Nutella.

Our lunch was one of the best we have had in Switzerland sitting outside on a lovely patio.
