Kreuz Bern Modern City Hotel

Kreuz Bern Modern City Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Exceptional across the board with one small caveat. Excellent location, spotlessly clean, reasonably priced, safe neighborhood, and very helpful staff. My room was small but exactly what I needed: a comfortable bed, spotless bathroom, plenty of hot water, and adequate air conditioning. The breakfast buffet was outstanding and included in the price. I also loved the rooftop seating area for sunsets and people-watching. Other nice touches: washer/dryer (7 CHF), restaurant next door, small fitness room, 24-hour self-service coffee, elevators, and in-room safes. My only complaint was check-in. I arrived around 1:20 p.m. after roughly 16 hours of travel and was firmly told I could not have my room until the 3:00 p.m. check-in time. I waited in the lobby for about an hour before asking a different front desk employee, who immediately said, “Of course, your room is ready,” and checked me in. I completely understand guaranteeing rooms by 3:00 p.m., but if a room is already cleaned and available, allowing an exhausted traveler to check in early is simply good hospitality. That first interaction left me wondering what kind of experience I was in for. Thankfully, that concern disappeared quickly. Every staff member I dealt with afterward was outstanding, and the rest of my stay was excellent. I would happily stay here again."

8/10 Good
"The property was very nice. It had a wonderful location.. The property was very clean and the staff was very helpful with suggestions of things to see and restaurants.. The room was clean and more than adequate size with a bathtub. I would say the breakfast was good, but maybe not as good as other places we’ve been to in Italy and Germany and Switzerland and Austria.. I would recommend this Hotel as a frequent traveler"

10/10 Excellent
"Super friendly and helpful staff upon arrival. It's a small hotel in reception, but the rooms are a good size. The airconditioning was great. Room and bathroom very clean. Our view wasn't good, but that didn't really matter. Location was fantastic - near to the train station. A wonderful stay and I'd definitely go back."

"Hotel was lovely, great location, nicely decorated, helpful staff, delicious breakfast, very nice shampoo/soap (Rituals). The only thing to improve is having a sink in the bathroom and adjustable temperature in the room. We put the temperature on the lowest setting (20C) and we found it incredibly warm and would cutoff in the middle of the night making it even warmer. We were visiting Bern for a few days so it was manageable."

Holiday Inn BERN-WESTSIDE by IHG

Holiday Inn BERN-WESTSIDE by IHG

8/10 Good
"First of all, the front desk staff are awesome. Super friendly and helpful. But then it starts to get worse. Daily room cleaning manages it to put 1 towel inside for 2 visitors, and manages it to replace 2 towels with 1. Previously, BernAqua was included, now you have to pay. Overall, every year the service is getting lower and lower. Max a 3-star hotel, no free gym available anymore. The quoted prices were over 250 CHF; for that price, I can definitely expect more. We moved for the second part of our stay in Bern to another hotel in the city."

"A nice little gem tucked away from the city centre. Easy to get to with he number 9 tram. Close to the city bridge. No many shops near by but still if it's a budget hotel with a clean room you are after then look no further. This place does the job and then some."
