This hotel is both conveniently and inconveniently located-- it is very close to shopping and restaurants, but also very difficult to get to (with no on-site parking and many closed streets). Our "views" were of the other hotel rooms directly across, about 5 meters away. However, the rooms were clean and fairly comfortable. Very overpriced (but all hotels in Bern are).
