Our stay at Swissôtel Kursaal Bern was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the elegant ambience, impeccable cleanliness, and the high level of hospitality throughout the hotel. The hotel perfectly combines modern luxury with Swiss elegance. Our room was beautifully designed, exceptionally comfortable, and maintained to a very high standard. Every detail, from the quality of the furnishings to the comfort of the bed, reflected the attention to detail you would expect from a premium Swiss hotel. The location is another highlight. It is ideally situated for exploring Bern, with excellent access to public transportation and the city centre, while still offering a calm and relaxing environment to return to after a day of sightseeing. The staff deserve special recognition. They were consistently warm, courteous, professional, and genuinely attentive. Their personalized service and willingness to assist made us feel truly welcomed and valued throughout our stay. Breakfast was another highlight, offering an excellent selection of fresh, high-quality choices. The presentation, variety, and overall dining experience were superb and provided a wonderful start to each day. What impressed us most was the combination of elegance, comfort, service, and attention to detail. Swissôtel Kursaal Bern delivers a refined experience without losing the warmth and hospitality that make a stay memorable. A truly outstanding experience and highly recommended for anyone looking for a sophisticated and memorable stay in Bern.

The hotel is perfectly located. Walking distance to the old town, with wonderful views along the Aare River, is easy to reach from the train station, with a tram stop directly outside the hotel. The hotel's surroundings are wonderful; the goldfish pond and Giardino restaurant immediately put you in a mood for rest and relaxation. The rooms are very comfortable and beautifully designed. The best hotel for a stay in Bern, whether for business, conferences, or family.

David H. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

I've already communicated the following to Mr. Hannes: I went to pick up a rental car on the afternoon of Sept 3. When I came back to park the rental car in the underground garage, there apparently was a wine-tasting event at the the hotel. The underground garage was full because people, WHO ARE NOT staying at the hotel took up all the spaces in the garage. Thus, I spent over an hour driving around the garage driving to find a big enough space to park my rental Volvo SUV. During this process of negotiating the tight curves, the right front side panel of the vehicle was scrapped. The wall shows the markings that this was not the FIRST time this type of damage has happened. This could have been avoided had large enough parking spaces been reserved JUST FOR hotel GUESTS. I did send an email to Mr. Hannes showing the damage. And I did notify Europcar. Mr. Hannes listened to my concerns and was very understanding, Not one to merely complain, my solution for future situations like this is to reserve parking spaces for hotel guests, so that these non-guests' events don't take up ALL the parking spaces in the garage. It was explained to me that this is a "public" garage, but in the future I recommend that SWISS HOTEL executives confer with the municipal garage management staff so that Hotel staff can reserve spaces for HOTEL guests. NOTE: I did communicate with HOTEL staff that I would be needing a parking spot before I picked up the rental vehicle. I do not fault the front desk staff. Rather, the SWISSHOTEL executive decision-makers should ensure there are parking spaces for guests, by making explicit arrangements with the public parking garage leadership as to how best reserve parking spaces JUST FOR Hotel guests; and THEN empower hotel staff to ensure such parking spaces are reserved just for guests. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions. -- David H. 31…

Dear Mr. H., Thank you for your detailed feedback and for taking the time to explain the situation that occurred on September 3. We are very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced when returning to the hotel with your rental vehicle and that the vehicle was damaged while you were attempting to find a suitable parking space in the underground garage. We fully understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly as you had informed our hotel team in advance that you would require a parking space. We would, however, like to clarify one point regarding the parking arrangements. In situations where our underground garage is expected to be particularly busy due to daytime events, we offer our hotel guests the possibility of temporarily parking their vehicle directly in front of the hotel and leaving the car keys with our team. Once the daytime events have ended and the day guests have departed, our team can then move the vehicle into our parking area in the evening. We would like to clearly emphasize that this option was also offered to you on the day in question. We regret that, despite this option being available, you ultimately encountered difficulties when attempting to park the vehicle yourself in the public underground garage. At the same time, we appreciate your constructive feedback and your suggestion regarding the allocation of parking spaces for hotel guests during events. We take your comments seriously and will discuss the matter internally as well as with the management of the public parking facility to explore what additional arrangements may be possible during periods of particularly high demand. As you were informed, the underground garage is a public parking facility and the hotel does not have exclusive control over its parking spaces. Nevertheless, we will continue to look for ways to make parking as convenient as possible for our hotel guests, particularly on days when we are hosting larger events. Thank you once again for bringing this matter to our attention and for sharing your suggestions. We sincerely regret the inconvenience you experienced and appreciate your understanding. Should you have any further questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Annina Schneider Swissotel Kursaal Bern

The hotel was clean, modern, and spacious. Housekeeping came every day to tidy up and refill the complimentary mini bar, this was greatly appreciated. I enjoyed the location of the property on the river. My only disappointment was I had an inside facing room, one window opened to a glass elevator (had to keep the blinds shut all the time), the other window opened to an odd corridor of sorts. I had no view of anything remotely outside.

Dear Mrs S. S., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us.

Great location, clean modern and well designed hotel and very friendly staff. Couldn't ask for much more - except for maybe the Aare river being a bit warmer when you go swimming

Donna F. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

Swissotel was conveniently located on the tram route and their breakfast, included in the price of our stay, was superb, but we were placed in a tiny room and my side of the bed was against the wall so I had to crawl over the bed every time I wanted to lie down. We are age late 60s and have bad knees so this was terribly inconvenient & painful. Our traveling companions, who booked at the same time & for the same price, were assigned a comfortable room and did not have this problem; they were shocked by our room. I would not recommend this hotel if you have difficulty with your knees.

Dear Donna F., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at Swissôtel Kursaal Bern. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated our convenient location and enjoyed our breakfast selection. We are sorry to hear that your room did not fully meet your expectations. You had booked a Classic Room, which is located within the hotel and features a window overlooking the Atrium. These rooms do not offer direct daylight or an outside view. For a future stay, we would recommend our Premier or Swiss Advantage Rooms, which offer beautiful views of Bern’s historic old town and the Alps. Both room categories also feature a comfortable king-size bed and offer additional comfort, making them an excellent choice for guests who value a spacious and comfortable sleeping experience. Thank you again for sharing your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Swissôtel Kursaal Bern and provide you with an even more enjoyable stay. Best regards, Annina Schneider Swissôtel Kursaal Bern
