- "Staff top!" - "The property was located on the edge of the city center near the bear park. It was so quiet and comfortable with beautiful river views. The staff was kind, and the breakfast was delicious. A Bern card was included with the stay, which was much appreciated!" - "Hotel Landhaus is nicely located near the river and the Bärenpark. From there Bus 12 connects to the train station every 6 minutes. The room we got was very quiet and roomy with a large couch. The hotel is in an old building and the style had been maintained in the rooms, yet they are totally comfortable. Staff was beyond friendly, breakfast superb. Really enjoyed our stay."

- "The room, beds, and ensuite bath were very clean and comfortable, and the hotel is in a great location with easy access to trams. It has a lift, and we received the thoughtful gifts of fruit and bottled water upon arrival. When I accidentally left something behind that I wanted to get back, a staff member worked with me and mailed it back to me in my country. A value-oriented but excellent hotel with helpful staff!" - "The location was fabulous in the old town, we walked everywhere but there are buses, trams and the train easily accessible if you need it. Plenty of restaurants around and the river to walk along. Staff were very friendly. The room and bed were very comfortable."
