Hotel Marthahaus Bern

This was the first place we stayed during our Switzerland trip and it felt like such a warm and lovely welcome to the country. It's about a 15 minute walk from the train station, with dramatic views over the river as you cross a bridge. The area is lovely, it's on a quiet residential street and less than 10 minutes walk away are an excellent selection of restaurants and bars. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the rooms pretty spacious and very clean. I had a private double room with ensuite, my brother had a single room (with balcony & nice view) with shared bathroom facilities, both room options were great. We loved the breakfasts, continental but with hot or cold boiled eggs. Overall , a really enjoyable stay!

I had a truly wonderful experience during my stay at this hotel. The location is really convenient, being so close to the Bus 20 stop, which made getting around a breeze. What stood out the most was how friendly and helpful the staff were; they genuinely seemed to care about making our stay enjoyable. The rooms and bathrooms were not just clean, but also felt warm and inviting, creating a cozy atmosphere. I was especially impressed by the breakfast; it was fantastic and offered such a generous variety of options to choose from. The added bonus of having luggage storage facility as well as complimentary coffee and hot drinks available (24/7) was a lovely touch. Plus, the inclusion of a Bern public transport ticket made exploring the city even easier.

I didn't stay (had to cancel last minute). But I can say, all staff were so accommodating and quick to respond. I can't speak for the hotel itself but the two members of staff I dealt with were excellent in communication, and when I had to make last minute changes they were kind. For this I give them 5-star communication.

I am in the middle of a three-night stay at this hotel, which is excellent value for money, given the prices of Switzerland. My room is simple but reasonably large, the beds are 2 x 90cm wide and comfortable, the shower is modern, and the breakfast is also surprisingly good, with wonderful bread. There is free (and decent) coffee 24/7.

Great hotel in a quiet neighbourhood, a 15 minute walk from the center of town, rooms are simple but clean, breakfast modest but good. A great, and quite affordable option, given the usual Swiss prices. Wi-fi is good and they allow pets! Also, this place has a very fascinating history - it was run by an association that helped young women with a "problematic" history to get on their feet offering cheap accommodation. Now it is run by an organisation that offers job for people with mental or social disabilities.

A spotlessly clean, efficiently run small hotel. The location is excellent - a 7-minute walk from Bern train station, in a quiet residential area. The staff are kind and helpful. Breakfast is eminently decent for the price. Very strongly recommended.

A very nice and comfortable Bernese hotel. Very close to everything, comfortable, with excellent breakfast and polite and professional personel.

We stayed end of summer two nights in this lovely little hotel. The location of Marthahaus is perfect, right next to the heart of Bern, yet in a quiet area on a side street. You can walk everywhere and Bern's excellent public transport is also nearby. The hotel staff is friendly and the whole place has a homely feel. We parked our car in the beautiful courtyard. We slept very well in the quiet surroundings. Of course it is not a 5 star hotel as such but we prefer these kind of hotels over luxury. This hotel can be highly recommended!
