Hotel La Pergola

Hotel La Pergola

10/10 Excellent
"Lorena was an excellent/efficient front desk staff when we checked in. Room was ready at 10:30 am which was very helpful after a long overnight bus trip from Paris . She helped us set up our complimentary Bern City tickets for transportation. The room was clean, breakfast well set up and excellent choices. Karen was also very nice. Well worth staying here."
