Great location. Very comfortable bed. Odd washroom area. Ok breakfast. No hot food. Hard boiled eggs, cereal, bread, croissants, yogurt, fruit, etc etc. Ask to toast your bread as no toaster to use. No AC, so if hot out, will be a problem. It was very hot in our room upon arrival. They provide a fan but with the room key functioning for electricity, once you leave the room fan shuts off. It did eventually cool down as we were there in Sept but keep that in mind.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Goldener Schlüssel hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, the location was perfect for wandering around the old city of Bern and our room was comfortable and spacious, it even had a balcony that overlooked the nearby streets. I would highly recommend this hotel.

It was a nice surprise with the place . It was so close to the Einstein house and other places to walk or take Tram. Even to train station it was easy by Tram. Hotel was nice, staff was very good. Breakfast was good with lot of options. Loved walking the streets and it was very safe even at night. Room was big enough for our family . Restroom was remodeled looks like but they forgot to put locks and should add more privacy to the bathroom . Would definitely visit again.

Needs improvement. Beds are uncomfortable, you feel the springs and the shower always emitted the sewer smell, never went away. Breakfast had good options and variety but everything was always cold. Staff was very friendly and nice.

Hotel needs some upgrades. It is a bit outdated. Also, The blankets are so thick and heavy that it is impossible to sleep under them. Breakfast was below average and service there was very poor.

Initial room given to us was 32C, while outside it was only 23C. Curtains in the room were dishevelled and partly off the rod. The toilet was literally arms length from the side of the bed. We asked to change rooms because of the stifling heat. The duty manager was able to move us into a slightly cooler room and provided a fan. Breakfast was quite good though. All up disappointing for the price. I would not recommend this hotel.

Location is perfect. Staff were kind and friendly. But the bathroom was very tiny and there was a constant sewer smell from the bathroom and heard a water coming down in the pipes when someone using bathroom from upstairs. I was glad I only stayed one night there.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found a lot to like about the area. The location was excellent—very walkable, with plenty of shops and places to eat right nearby, which made it really convenient to explore and enjoy the surroundings. However, the hotel itself was a bit rundown and not as clean as I would have hoped. While it was a decent place in terms of convenience, the maintenance and cleanliness definitely left a bit to be desired.

Nice hotel, great location.

Rooms a little small, bathroom kind of like a cruise ship “pod,” but clean & good condition. Well located in Old Town. Lots of shops, dining, easy/walkable to local sights & transportation. Great location for access to day trips.

Loved the location & the shower! Also the staff is nice and friendly. Overall did not like the room, It is a small room and was hot. The windows we needed to open but it was on the first floor so everyone across could Look in. That was not convenient and uncomfortable. Sofa Chair was broken we couldn’t sit on it. Poor lighting only one switch for all or none. The bathroom has an etched glass you can see the shadow of the person showering so if you are with other family members it might be uncomfortable too. That obligated us to shower with the light off so our sillohoutte wouldn’t be seen. It was ok stay.
