The hotel turned out to be a pleasant surprise. We were led to a rather shabby courtyard, & told to take the stairs at the back of the courtyard & then the lift to our room. Dirty laundry was piled high on a cart in the courtyard (& stayed there during the entire stay); needless to say this did not... More

Without notice they moved us to another hotel!!!! We'd travelled from France that day and arrived at Bern at 10pm, walked to the hotel to find the door locked. Lucky a guy came out for a cigarette or we wouldn't have gotten sleep that night! Called the reception of another hotel using the phone provided, all they told us was... More

We spent a week in this hotel recently. The room was brilliant, the location was not terrible. There were some lovely coffee shops just a few doors down and there was a handy supermarket one block away. Breakfast each morning was basic, but got us going for the day! We were traveling with a 2 month old baby and the... More

This hotel has huge rooms for European standards and large for even American hotels. They were very clean and very nice as well. The location was nice, 10 minute walk to the train station. The free Breakfast was nice as well. Our only complaint was not the fault of the hotels. They share a building on either side with apartments... More

I felt like the interior designer had really earned his... More

I thought I had booked the closer one... They show up as 'Sorell Hotel near old town' in many booking engines... So make... More

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

The room was a bit warm but apart from that it was clean, comfy, spacious, breakfast was good and the staff were friendly and helpful.
