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!

Even when we initially stopped by to drop off our bags, the attention to detail and level of care shown by the staff who assisted us immediately stood out. Every interaction felt thoughtful, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The check-in process was seamless, and the front desk lady was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Our room was absolutely spectacular!!! It was beautifully designed, elegant, and filled with high-end amenities. One evening, I wasn't feeling well :( and ended up staying in, and I truly appreciated how comfortable and luxurious the room was. Having such a stunning space, complete with a balcony overlooking the city, made all the difference and turned what could have been an unpleasant night into a restful and peaceful one. Also, one of the days, after a long stretch of exploring Bern, we decided to stay in and eat at the hotel lobby bar. We ordered their famous Wienerschnitzel, and it was outstanding (a must if you stay here). What made the experience even more special was our server, who took the time to share the history of the dish with us. You could tell how much pride the staff takes in both the food and the overall dining experience. The bartender was also wonderful and made an excellent Old Fashioned (Adam approved) everything felt intentional, polished, and done with care. We also ordered breakfast via room service one morning, and it arrived perfectly!! It was on time, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Overall, Hotel Schweizerhof Bern & Spa is one of the most incredible hotels I have ever stayed in. It is easy to see why it is a five-star property (really) from the service to the accommodations to the dining, every detail is impeccable. This hotel has truly set the bar for us. We weren't aware they had other locations before this stay, but after experiencing the Bern property, we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else when visiting Switzerland again!!!

Although by pure swank, and amenities this was not the finest hotel we stayed at during our brief tenure in some beautiful places (The Ritz in Geneva was super swank, but I had 100,000+ Marriott points I needed to use up, so I puts them to great use: https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-ritz-carlton-hotel-de-la-paix-geneva-gen%C3%A8ve?hrid=N2g-n_SVQE2gSa2coNsjMA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) When looking back this was probably my favorite hotel we stayed at. The elevators here are amazing. Stay here for the elevators alone. When riding the elevators you don't feel a thing. It's like sitting in your chair reading this review, super smooth and crisp, and the next thing you know you're on the 4th floor. The elevators in America are terrible. Hurkin' and jerkin' around, you nearly get whiplash and hurt yourself. The elevators in Germany and Switzerland are the best in the world. Smooth, and fresh, and clean. A young lady's voice recording in a very soothing voice speaks to you announcing the arrival of the next floor (in German), then the doors open. The whole time you don't feel a thing that's how smooth the ride is. Aside from the elevators, they have an awesome bar / restaurant / bar, bar in the lobby. I went to the bar a few times. Once when checking in, once when my girlfriend was in the shower, once after dinner for post dinner nightcap. The restaurant for breakfast? Oh yeah, also awesome. You can get a full English breakfast (which I did)... eggs, tomato, meat, coffee... Or you can get local... pastry tea, coffee, etc... The locale of this hotel is also Prime-Time. Bern is a super walkable city. You can walk to everything. Train station, bars, shopping, restaurants, sights, rivers, bridges. The room itself was also really good. Comfortable bed, the towels were really soft. Hotel staff super nice. They gave great recommendations on where to go eat, etc. If I came back to Bern, and would love to, I would stay here. You should stay here too.

Although the room was small but it was clean and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The hotel's central location is perfect for sightseeing, putting Bern's main attractions within easy walking distance. The combination of helpful service, quality accommodations, and prime location made this a great choice for exploring the city. We were able to enjoy the complimentary continental buffet breakfast and we also tried the wonderful dinner to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary. Would definitely recommend and consider staying here again. One of the highlight of this hotel is the 120+ year old elevator and other vintage items that you can see around the hotel and the view of the city from our balcony. We made use of the city bus pass they gave us to have a great time.
