Great location, clean modern and well designed hotel and very friendly staff. Couldn't ask for much more - except for maybe the Aare river being a bit warmer when you go swimming

The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to help us get oriented to the several tram routes.

From the upgraded spacious room, everything clean.

Swissotel was conveniently located on the tram route and their breakfast, included in the price of our stay, was superb, but we were placed in a tiny room and my side of the bed was against the wall so I had to crawl over the bed every time I wanted to lie down. We are age late 60s and have bad knees so this was terribly inconvenient & painful. Our traveling companions, who booked at the same time & for the same price, were assigned a comfortable room and did not have this problem; they were shocked by our room. I would not recommend this hotel if you have difficulty with your knees.
