"Great boutique hotel in the old part of town, down by the river. An historic building that has recently been carefully renovated and rooms have great atmosphere. Friendly staff, great breakfast and we felt very welcome."

"The room was very clean and spacious enough for 4 of us. We were a little confused finding our room with the self checkin. Very close to all amenities in downtown Fribourg. The only downfall is we had to carry all of our luggage upstairs as there is no elevator. Laundry facilities were decent to use but drying clothes were very difficult with the amount of time it took. It was quiet and the beds were comfortable."

"This hotel is in a great location in central Marly close to Fribourg. It's a simple bus ride into Fribourg, where there is lots to see and do. The room is not air-conditioned, but not many places in Switzerland are. The hotel downstairs is spotless and delicious, and the staff are all very friendly. I'd recommend this hotel for travelers who want to see Fribourg but get a taste of Swiss village life---great point from which to bike around the countryside as well!"

"Very central, easy walk to train station and the charming center of town. The only challenge was the loud music festival taking place the night we were there which went until 4 am!"

"There’s some kind of issue with the noise the doors make as they close. It sounds like they are closing right into your room. 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."

"We were originally in a room that faced out to a noisy street, but the staff were more than helpful in accommodating us in another quiet room. They were also very helpful in answering the many questions we had as first-time visitors to the lovely city of Bern. The Hotel National is a very old hotel, but the bathroom had been fully updated and the room was lovely. The included breakfast was very nice too — just what we needed to fuel our site seeing adventures!"
"This hotel is delightfully quirky. Rooms are interesting and well equipped. Biggest shower I had in Switzerland, great location between the clock tower and train station. There is a huge lounge with multiple living rooms and a full kitchen and fridge for guests. And free coffee drinks. I recommend for short and longer stays."
"Beautiful hotel in a great central location. Very convenient to all the shopping, sightseeing, and transportation! Train station is 100 years away .
The hotel itself is beautiful, super clean, with excellent service from housekeeping and front desk . Would definitely return!"
"Es un hotel muy bonito el desayuno me encantó muy completo y las habitaciones cómodas. Su ubicaciones es quizá un poquito lejos pero el transporte de Berna lo resuelve además q te dan una tarjeta de transporte gratis"
"This hotel is a good option for those traveling by car, as it has underground parking and offers a free public transport pass, making the stay even more comfortable."
"You can book, check in, and check out without ever speaking to another person… if that’s what you like, it’s great! We certainly missed the human contact. Otherwise, it’s a good place to stay.
The fire alarm was triggered while we were here (no big deal, just an alarm), which isn’t a problem except the stairwell door wouldn’t open to the lobby without a key card even while the alarm was going off, which is pretty concerning considering a lot of folks didn’t have their keycard in their pyjamas at 22:00."
