can anyone recommend a decent hotel in Bern? RS guide doesn’t have much- thanks!!
Hotel Savoy is a block from the main train station. Very modern rooms, friendly staff, and breakfast . I would stay there again.
Another vote for the Hotel Savoy. Great location. Walk to just about everything.
Fodors? Frommers? Tripadvisor?
Years back Rick did list the Hotel National in Bern. When I stayed there I really enjoyed the history of the 1908 neoclassical building complete with a cage elevator. The building, thankfully, is much as it was in 1908 so the rooms are small but have modern bathrooms. The Hotel National is a five-minute walk from Bern's train station and close to Bern's Altstadt and most attractions in the capital. Most of all, the rates are very reasonable for Switzerland.
Savoy as well. Perfect spot.
I have a budget recommendation. I stayed out of the center at the Novotel Expo. The #9 tram runs from the train station to there past midnight. And the stay comes with a free pass to take it.
