ibis Styles Bern City (opening December 2022)

This is a cool style of hotel, they have arcade games, rubicks cubes, that sorta theme. A bit original, Price is good, room is small but fine Location is not in old city, but still close to some bars and restaurants

I stayed for 3 nights, for a business meeting. The location is a 15 min walk or 4 min bus/tram ride from Bern HBF which was very convenient. The hotel has a vintage video game theme which is really nice. Rooms descent size, slightly larger than the average Ibis, I stayed for one night in a family room then moved to a double the next day, both were somehow larger than u expect from Ibis and very clean. Had a safe, small open wardrobe, but no mini fridge. Breakfast too was up to standards, basic but had all the essentials. free coffee /tea in breakfast area up to 11 pm. My let down was the fact that they refused to allow me to check out at 2 pm although they had availability and although Im an Accor silver member... I asked for a late checkout till 2pm which I usually get free of charge as I am an accor silver member. She said she cant do it free of charge.. and that they don't recognise accor silver in Ibis styles. I pointed out that she was mistaken, but she said she was the ambassador of the hotel and she knew very well what she was talking about. That said, they never even greeted me as an accor silver or an accor member or even cared.. Its a let down because when you stick to a certain chain you expect some extra service in return. Ibis Styles was as pricey as many other Hotels nearby and other hotels has better amenities, I choose to stick to accor because of the loyalty, but obviously even the "ambassador" doesn't care. I understand that late checkout is subject to availability, but obviously there was availability, as she was willing to extend if I paid extra.. Other than that I had no issues, although I wouldn't be returning again, Ill just book a four or five star hotel for the same price. Unfortunately, there was no availability at Novotel which is usually my hotel of choice.

Hotel is located 7 to 10 minutes by tram from bern train station.Take tram no.3 and get out at EIGERPLATZ.Hotel is located just opposite to the tram stop.staff is friendly and polite.Family rooms are clean and big.They do not provide tea/coffee maker in room but the plus point is you can drink as much tea/coffee from the machine in their restaurant all day.Breakfast was good.Location is good.I enjoyed my stay.

We stayed with our two daughters (9 and 11) in a family room, which was very spacious, with the children on a Gold our sofa bed. The hotel has a games themed lobby which the kids loved, a large breakfast area, of which part of available to use in the evening for guests to eat their own meals (or the meals they sell that you can heat in the facility provided.) they have a bar and other drinks available and coffee and tea available constantly. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, and we were well looked after. The hotel is a 10-15 min walk from the city centre or a few minutes on the bus or tram that stops across the road (you’re provided a travel card that covers all buses and trams in the city for the duration of your stay.) There are a bunch of restaurants or take aways very close by also. We’d recommend this hotel to anyone looking for affordable accommodation, it’s not luxurious, it’s basic, but it’s an Ibis Styles not a Hilton. Its great value and we would happily stay again

Hotel room is colourfully designed. It gives a cheerful atmosphere. Front desk staff is very friendly and helpful and gave us directions on how to travel around the city. Breakfast is standard European style with bread, croissants, nice cheeses, ham, eggs, freshly ground coffee from the machine and a variety of tea. Hotel is about 7 minutes by bus from Bern station. As Switzerland has such a well developed train system all over the country, we could have based our stay in Bern and travel to other cities. This is a thought after we had a comfortable 2 nights stay here.
