"A short walk from town, right next to a lift. Very good views and breakfast, although all of Switzerland seems to have been infested by flies, indoors and outdoors. Perhaps time to mandate that every resident and visitor kill 10 per day…"
"Novotel Bern was a solid choice for our stay, especially for its convenience and overall comfort. The hotel is located right on a tram line, which made getting around Bern very easy, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. The property was also clean and well-maintained, which we appreciated.
A few practical notes for future guests: we didn’t try the breakfast, so can’t comment on it. Food and drinks at the hotel are quite expensive, which is typical for Switzerland but still worth planning for. The bar area is pleasant for a short stop, though somewhat limited in selection and atmosphere. Room size may be a consideration for families—while functional, the configurations (either a queen with a sofa bed or two twins with a sofa bed) felt a bit tight for four people.
One disappointment was a restaurant recommendation from the concierge. It was presented as a classic Swiss experience, but turned out to be both overpriced and underwhelming—the biggest letdown of our time in Bern. It’s worth doing a bit of independent research before committing to dining suggestions.
Overall, Novotel Bern is a reliable, well-located option, particularly for short stays or travelers prioritizing easy transport access."
"The hotel is a nice, clean, comfy hotel. Very modern. Pictures are accurate as to what you see on line. The hotel is a bit outside the main centre and not much around it. However, it is a quick bus ride (less than 10 mins- take the 101 or 107 from the train station). The kitchen had everything we needed to make quick simple meals. Staff was friendly and helpful."
"The set up is a little different, but it had a great location and huge common areas. It has a fully stocked kitchen for the guests to use. We would stay there again."
"A great place to stay in the hidden gem of Spiez. Rooms were on the smaller side but fine considering we were not in the room much. Free breakfast was awesome! The only issue we had was with custodial staff, we saw them mocking us after asking for new towels when they came to clean our room. Otherwise, I recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Spiez!"
"Beautiful property, the location was breathtaking! Amazing views! The apartment is gorgeous and spacious! Kitchen had everything you need! Beds were comfortable! Coop market downstairs is perfect! You can grab fresh breakfast and anything else you need! We would definitely come back !!"
