On the first day the front desk agent was not very friendly. Breakfast was okay. The room size was good, room was clean. The rest of our stay front desk personnel were more friendly. It was easy to travel to/from hotel using public transport.

I informed them that the bedside light fell out of the wall leaving a wire exposed. I also told them that the shower head would not stay up. They fixed nothing during our 3 night stay. No kettle, phone or fridge in the room. Also Mold in the shower. Glad i won't be going back.

Simple hotel, but a nice room and a decent bed. Its a good 30 min walk to the the main part of Bern with limited dining around the hotel, which is little inconvenient. Didn't get breakfast, looked very basic for the price.

Do stay here!!!
Very bizarre hotel, I did not like it at all. Place felt like a plastic factory with weird tiles and plastic fixtures everywhere. It felt like you were in a bad futuristic syfi movie. The parking was the worst ever, absolutely no signage to get from garage to hotel. Had to try about 10 doors before realizing that you have to walk up the ramp to the first floor before you can find a hotel entrance. The staff were pleasant and helpful, but I did not like this place so have to write this.

Avoid this hotel – Dishonest Charges, Rude Service
I cannot stress enough how bad my experience was at this hotel. From the moment I checked in, the staff, including the owner himself, were shockingly rude. Any questions I had were met with dismissive, unpleasant responses – appalling behavior from someone running a business. The room I was given had an overwhelming, chemical-like odor that hit me the moment I walked in. It smelled like toxic paint or harsh agents. I asked to switch rooms, but every alternative had the same unbearable stench. The owner tried to brush it off as if that’s the smell of cleaning liquid, but believe me, this was NOT the smell, it smelled like a toxic factory. I was forced to sleep with the windows open in 4°C weather and the heater maxed out at a mere 23°C – quite stingy for a supposed "Radisson." To make matters worse, there were no phones in the room, so any request required a trip to the front desk – far from the service you'd expect at this price point. Adding to the frustration, I was informed at check-in that late checkout would cost 15 CHF. When my husband later requested it, they charged him 25 CHF, and our key cards still deactivated at noon. When I went to complain, the staff brushed it off as “odd” with no real explanation or apology. Though we were refunded the difference, they still kept the initial 15 CHF charge – unacceptable after their attempt to overcharge us. If you value decent treatment, proper room amenities, and straightforward billing, do yourself a favor and don’t book
