Disappointing stay

Arrived at 10 to 4pm, checked in and was given an upgrade. Went to room and it was not ready. Bed being made, then room vacuumed. Very small room, suitcase had to be placed on the floor. Toilet squeezed in between wall and shower, not much room (both of us are average sized people). Could make coffee or tea but no milk available. This room was not an upgrade ! Next night was in an IBIS Hotel - we stayed in a better room !

The hotel was excellent. We had a family room with private bath. They included portable fans, which was really nice during a heat wave. Hotel was right next to a tram stop, so very easy to get around.

Our stay at Hotel National Bern was excellent overall. Check-in was smooth and efficient, with friendly staff who provided clear and useful instructions that made settling in easy. The room was clean and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The hotel's central location is perfect for sightseeing, putting Bern's main attractions within easy walking distance. The combination of helpful service, quality accommodations, and prime location made this a great choice for exploring the city. Would definitely recommend and consider staying here again.
