Bodily fluid stains, holes and hair on smelly faded sheets and mattress, musty smelling (deluxe) room. Stains on chairs and curtains. Needle sticking out of the pillow. Mini bar turned off and safe locked and unusable. Faded, stiff and smelly sub quality towels. No regular sized bath towels available. Found used half empty bottles of shampoo (that were never changed... More

The thing really going for this hotel is the excellent location in the centre of the old town on a beautiful street. The service we received was always friendly and helpful. The room was a good size and had been made to look old fashioned in style. This style of decoration was not to our personal taste as we felt... More

The hotel staff are very nice. The hotel is getting pretty worn, but the bed was clean and comfortable. The rooms are over-priced by 50% for what they offer--440chf for a junior suite that was an attic room, no AC, and carry your luggage up the stairs. They even charge for throw away items like shower caps and shoe wipes.... More

Great location! Pleasant Employees! Minor Quirks. Pleasant older gentleman working the front reception. Very nice employee's. Hotel room was good except the bed was split down the middle, must of been a double stuck together. The bedding was very comfortable. The hotel key was too large. More

Hotel Belle Epoque is the only small, centrally located hotel in Bern. The hotel is aging gracefully but could use some refurbishments-- new carpets, air conditioning, and new linens. In addition the front desk service was quite lax. Our room was not cleaned after our first day. The location could not be better. More

We were not due to be in Bern so had not booked anything. We realised that getting a decent room might be difficult. After checking out a few places we decided that we'd use Belle Epoque. The old gentleman at reception told us the price was 350 SF but he'd give us it for 200 SF (weekend single, special rate,... More

I've stayed here before and it was fine but this time I decided to go for a junior suite for a couple of nights as it was the end of our hols. First downer was that the £/Swiss F exchange rate was about 30% worse than last time I booked which didn't help. The suite was under the eaves whic... More

Expensive for what you get. Rooms and corridors are cramped, difficult to find anyone at the front desk when you need them, breakfast not included in the high room rate. Location on Bern's main street is good, but our room faced the street and we were awakened several times each night by noisy carousers in the street below. More

Although the hotel is well located in the old part of Bern, there is no air conditioning so the room was very hot. Because the hotel is on a noisy main street, leaving the windows open wasn't an option. The room is quaint but there is only one fire exit and the fire door was propped open with a door... More
