For a short city break the hotel is fine. I question the star rating though but having said that the staff were great and for one night it was adequate. Our room was large and comfortable although it was facing the road which can get noisy if you have the windows open.

Great central location a quick walk from the railway station, just next to the Swiss Federal Parliament building and with multiple public transport options nearby. Absolutely no point bringing a car. Free bikes for hotel guests are a nice touch and you can buy multi-day public transport cards at reception. My room faced away from the road and was blissfully... More

We, family of 4, stayed at Bristol Hotel for 3 nights in March 2013. We had a family room with a extra bed for my 7 year old son. The room was neat and well appointed including tea and coffee making facilities. But the room was on the smaller side especially with an extra bed, it was slightly congested. The... More

I stayed in this hotel for about 6 weeks for a business trip. Room: Room is small but like any other Swiss hotel. Has a good desk and chair for working. Bed is comfortable. The only problem is that you can hear noises from adjacent rooms or stairs or even from outside. Not good for a light sleeper. Bath: Bath... More

The Good: The hotel is at an awesome location. Half minute walk from the main RS. Hence, proximity to restaurants and grocers. Good buffet options and free Wifi and Fitness room!! Baren bar is inside the hotel. The Bad: Rooms are small for the price you pay. Sauna is not complimentary. Only two cycles available for the entire hotel is... More

A very good located hotel but room's decoration was very poor. For sure not a 4 stars hotel (3 stars would look ok) but the price was interesting. If you are looking for the experience of a 4 stars hotel I would suggest to avoid it.

Ok. First of all; why do hotels in general brag about having a "fitness room" when its just a room with a couple of exercise machines. To me that is to mislead the customer. Just an average hotel & hotel breakfast buffet, next to a "smoking room" you have to pass in order to get there. Not my cup of... More

The hotel is located in the middle of the old center of Bern, a footstep away from the shops, restaurants and the trainstation! Price/quality is correct!!! I will highly recommend this hotel to everybody!!!!

During our trip around Switzerland we spent one night at the Best Western Hotel Bristol in Bern. We chose this hotel based on its excellent location in the old town. There is no parking available at the hotel as it's in the pedestrian zone - we were able to drive up to the front door but then after check-in we... More

We stayed here 2 separate times a few days apart. Each time, the staff was very welcoming and helpful! Everyone we encountered was extremely pleasant and went out of their way to make us feel at home. We had a room facing a back courtyard area (both times), so it was quiet. The room was decent sized and furnished well.... More
