Each unit of this property is fitted with modern furnishings and features a TV with cable channels and a desk. Bathrooms come with a bath or a shower and a hairdryer.

We had a wonderful experience at Wildrose. The house is beautiful, very clean with a lot of interesting antiques. Breakfast is healthy and delicious, prepared with great attention by the host. We received free bus tickets to explore Bern. Bus station is very close at 5 min walking and the city center is reachable in 10 min by bus. A very good location for exploring the city. We also received very good recommendation on what to visit, having only two days in Bern. I would love to come back. Many thanks for the wonderful stay that we had at Wildrose.

    Boutique vibe in this hotel close to all attractions and historical city centre. I arrived early and not only did they keep my suitcase, they allowed me to check-in 1 hour before the usual 3pm check-in time. The room was lovely and had this 5 stars hotel feel. Everything was fantastic.

    Stay KooooK Bern is a quirky design hotel right in the centre of Bern. We had to get used to the mobile phone keyless entry, but it functions really well. The common areas with large kitchen and free coffee/ thee are being used well by the hotel guests: it is a hive of activity in the mornings. The rooms are nicely designed with some quirky elements, but mostly highly practical.

    Nice hotel in a funky design. Just outside the main centre of the city. However this was not an issue as there is a bus stop outside the hotel. It is a 10 minute ride into the town centre. Even better, the city of Bern offered free transport to tourists for the duration of their stay.

    Excellent room, the kitchentte was lovely and the room (despite being the small studio) is designed in such a way that it feels very roomy and airy. The room even came with a speaker and Chromecast to watch Disney+/Netflix etc. Bathroom was gorgeous and very clean. Would definitely recommend to anybody coming to Bern. Hosts were amazing and so helpful with any questions we had. They even stored our luggage for the day we checked out!
