Initial contact was super pleasant and checking in was effortless. Questions were answered clearly and quickly.

The location of the hotel, ease of parking and the overall quality of the room were satisfactory. The main pain point was the lack of functioning WiFi in the room which for me was unacceptable. As someone who travels for work and relies on fast WiFi connectivity to be able to work away from office this was very disappointing. If I knew this would be the case, I would not have chosen this hotel to stay at. I have also notified my company colleagues who might be also visiting Bern for work to look for alternative accommodations.

Before I begin, I would like to thank the entire team, Chef Yannick, and everyone else for their warm welcome and professionalism. I felt a strong, positive connection and I hope to have a great career and learn from Yannick and the whole team.
