ibis Bern Expo

Initially booked it for 2 days because of good location though we found good professional receptionist but still had to cancel the next day booking due to: Spooky unclean way up to elevators from basement parking. Broken lobby furniture. Unclean room corners. Could not sleep due to broken thermostat. Bathroom door has gap in bottom and on top causing bad smell when companion is using toilet forcing the other person to get out of the room. Bath room floods while taking shower.

The hotels in the center of Bern where I usually stay were all booked for at least one night of my stay at the end of August/early September. I knew that Ibis was new, so I thought I'd try it. It's quite convenient to the tram (no. 9), which the hotel can give you a free ticket for. The front desk staff were all quite helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet seemed expensive (Sfr 16), especially since items weren't kept filled. Then I found that the Ibis-Budget breakfast had the items I liked, was Sfr. 3 less expensive, and items were kept filled. I'm not sure if the cross-over is always possible, but it worked for my last day. And I found that for what was offered, the price was OK (coffee and a croissant at my favorite Glatz bakery were about Sfr 9; the hotel had muesli, rolls and croissants, and various types of coffee, plus juice and other options).

No geral a experiência foi boa. O staff pronto a ajudar de maneira cordial. O banheiro muito pequeno , bem como a área que se serve o café da manhã, que estava um pouco tumultuada.

Switzerland such an amazing country with so lovely ppl, but this hotel was the worst! Staff at the reception was extremely not professional in Ibis and Novotel (both). Whenever u ask any assistance they will never even try to help or assist you, the hosting is the worse. The girl at the reception from Novotel just careless, she will look at you as you have to deal with ur problems. No Adapter to even charge the phone they can’t provide. We stayed for more than 7 hotels at the time we checked in here and even in the villages were adapters. Okay that’s not the main problem. Business center of the Novotel is USELESS! U can’t download, exit save send to ur own email as they blocking system, okay why then I need the business center?! So we just sit there for 1 hour and didn’t understand the problem, and the guy from reception said yes this is how it is. Take it or leave it! But as everywhere there are sone good ppl, who has really deserved to work in a hospitality field. Staff such as like JANINE & TANZINE ( i hope the spelling is correct) were just an angel and a fresh air from this all what we faced during the stay. They just solved our problems in a second, that’s the host we’re looking for when we come to the country where u don’t know anything and anyone. Thanks girls, rock it stars! (Both are from Novotel) From Abu Laban family.

Very friendly staff, great bar for your end of working day beer, clean and comfortable room, very convenient parking garage in-house, perfectly situated for meetings in Berne, very close to the freeway exit/entrance yet nicely quiet
