Sorell Hotel Arabelle Bern

10/10 Excellent
"We had an overall positive experience, the room was comfortable, it provided complimentary water bottles and comfy pillows. The private restroom could improve by giving a detailed cleaning to the shower tiles. A plus is that the room included breakfast -buffet style- which was really good with several options and great bread/pastries. Its location was perfect for us, close to the center and to public transportation."

"Excellent, super clean, very friendly staff and breakfast is very good, have a good vegetable for breakfast for vegan people. I can't just believe that the hotel is exceptionally good for just a 3 star hotel. Overall, the hotel is very clean, very organized and have a calm environment. The tram is just a very short ride from the hotel to the city center, just 2 stops and the walk from the hotel to the tram station is just a 5 min walk, basically 2 small blocks away. I am planning to stay in this hotel for my future travel to Bern again. I will recommend this hotel to all our friends planning to visit Bern. Bellisima! Ausgezeichnet! Exceptionalle!"

The air conditioning was on power save the whole time and it was warm in the room with no air circulation. It would have been nice if the window wasn’t locked shut. The robot pizza making machine didn’t work but wasn’t marked as broken. The rooftop bar was nice and bartender was very nice. Front desk staff were nice and helpful."
