  Centrally located. An excellent place for short trips.

  02 May 2026

  We were there only for one night.Centrally located and within walking distance to all the old city and important places to see.The room was very clean and spacious.On thing missing was a closet for our clothes. There was a place with hangers for this purpose and it was OK for our one night stay. It can be a problem for longer stays.Another missing thing was slippers. In a good quality hotel I always look for slippers to avoid walking in the room barefoot.The staff were very friendly.

  Great Hotel!

  13 Sept 2025

  Great hotel in the center of the city. It was a 5 minute walk from the train station to the hotel. Everything was walking distance. The staff walls very friendly and kind. The breakfast was good! We loved the daily free beverage. There was a super cute farmers market outside the hotel on Saturday. Would definitely stay there again!

  Center of town

  20 Aug 2025

  A really lovely hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and warm. I stopped by at noon when walking through the area to let them know I would be arriving late, around 9pm, and amazingly my room was ready so I was able to drop stuff off. The room was a good size for one person, comfy bed. Breakfast was included and there was a very good selection of cereals, breads, croissants, jams, meats, cheeses, etc. The only thing that I didn't love was how loud the AC system was. At one point in the night I turned it off so I didn't have to listen to it anymore but since it was 27°C that day the room got quite hot again very quickly so I just had to live with it.

We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our location and your stay with us. We will forward the compliments to our staff. We are glad you liked our breakfast as well. Since the AC's have been running 24/7 during summer season, we need to take out the excess water, that assemble within the containers. You can call at the reception at any time, we will gladly fix it for you should it occur again, we need 5 minutes to clean it out. Feedback like yours means a lot to our team and motivates us to keep delivering great experiences to our guests. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Kind regards Your Hotel Bären am Bundesplatz Team

  Amazing place in the heart of the city!

  26 Jul 2025

  The staff was incredibly kind, helpful, and friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable. We especially appreciated the towel warmer in the bathroom. A coffee machine and a selection of herbal teas were available in the room. As a goodbye gift, we also received a small jar of aromatic salt...such a nice gesture! The location is perfect, right in the heart of the city. Absolutely recommended!

  - Well staffed with a kind and thoughtful team that is sufficient to prevent queues.- Perfect location just 5 minutes from the train station and a quarter of a block from Parliament.- They have a generous 24-hour drink station and snack station.We arrived and they offered to check us in an hour early with no attempt to up-charge tired guests. They were also generous when our checkout packing took longer than expected and we were out of the room a bit late.The only snag was that our room had clearly previously been used by someone who ignored the no-smoking policy. The staff came up to the room, took one sniff, and apologized profusely. Apparently, the cleaner doesn't have much of a sense of smell. The staff gave us a place to freshen up, moved our belongings to the new room while we went out to lunch, and our new room was ready by checkin time.The hotel was maybe 50 meters from the city's Euro2025 Women's cup "fun zone" in front of Parliament featuring video of the matches and, when matches were over, blasting music from DJs. Our room faced away and didn't get a sound of the loud partying. Some other rooms did face the noisy street. If you are sensitive to noise, ask ahead of time if they can ensure you will be assigned a room that isn't facing the street.For sublime coffee and pastries a block away, check out Rosterei Kaffee un Bar. It's one of the few local coffee shops that makes coffee by hand, rather than by machine. Hotel Bären am Bundesplatz, Gästeservice/Empfang at Hotel Baren am Bundesplatz, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review — we truly appreciate the time you took to share your experience with us.We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our central location, the 24-hour refreshment area, and especially the attentive service from our front desk team. It’s very rewarding to know that their kindness and flexibility made a difference during your stay, from the early check-in to the late check-out accommodation.We are also grateful for your understanding regarding the smoking issue in your original room. While it’s unfortunate that this occurred, we are glad our team was able to act quickly and make the necessary arrangements to ensure your comfort. Your comment has been shared internally to further strengthen our room checks, particularly in relation to enforcing our no-smoking policy.Thank you for highlighting the nearby, excellent local coffee spot — this is a great tip for future guests! And you're absolutely right: for guests sensitive to noise, we always recommend requesting a room facing away from the street, and we're happy to accommodate whenever availability allows.We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future!Kind regardsYour Hotel Bären am Bundesplatz Team
