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!

From first entering and handed hot towels for our hands and a lovely little glass of fruit sorbet to relax with while checking in to knocks at the door with little packages of goodies with chocolate, drinks and toiletries(not asked for) We were offered free taxi service and complimentary room upgrade. The rooms are beautiful and quite spacious. A rain-shower is always a winner. Good amenities, a nespresso machine and minibar included in price and restocked each day. Turn down of the room in the evenings left some very welcomed swiss chocolate and fruit drinks. Great location opposite the train station and right in the heart of Bern. The staff were wonderful and our room excellent! The restaurant was fantastic for dinner and buffet breakfast every morning. The cocktail bar is amazing with brilliant staff.

For a seemingly large hotel having two people at the small front desk was insufficient mid morning when we arrived and we experienced a bit of a wait due in part to a group ahead of us. Our double boutique room was very nicely updated with an amazing rain shower (more like a waterfall) and modern fixtures. The king bed was comfortable and the clean, modern room had a nice sized king bed. Unfortunately due to the age and makeup of the hotel there is no AC. Travelling during an unseasonably warm (and more and more common) September the room was a bit on the warm side. There are windows that open and you can ask for a fan from the front desk. Breakfast was included and there was a very nice selection plus the ability to order eggs. Really liked the updated rooms and especially the bathroom but would only stay there during non-AC weather-not summer-if returning to Bern in the future.

Yelp Review 2026 #133:…read more We stayed at NH Hotel The Bristol while in Bern. It's about 5 minutes from the train station. There are restaurants across the street, a chocolate shop next door, pharmacies, and points of interest nearby. The lobby is small but it's comfortable. There's a bar next to the front desk. We left our bags at the front desk because we arrived early in the morning and check in is at 3pm. They told us we can check in earlier than 3pm. So, we walked around Bern and came back to the hotel at 2pm and our room was ready! The staff was fantastic. Warm and welcoming despite the weather being the opposite. The room was quite spacious but we didn't have luggage taking up space. The toiletries smelled nice but I bring my own anyway because I'm allergic to smelly soaps and lotions. The bed was comfortable - I was watching TV and accidentally took a nap when I should have been exploring the city. The bathroom situation wasn't the best. The shower, toilet, sink are all there without anything separating them except for a thin shower curtain. So, after you shower, almost the whole bathroom floor is wet. I love the wall art. I went to different floors just to check out the artwork. They're for sale. The windows open fully which was nice so we can get some fresh air in the room. But the American restaurant across the street had some loud people outside so, we had to close the windows. Plenty of English channels. Free bottled water. We paid close to $400/ night - not the nicest hotel we've stayed at in Switzerland but it was good.

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.
