The location of the hostel was just 4 stops away from the station/bus stop at the town. It would take less than 10 minutes to reach the town.The hostel was very clean beyond our expectations, There are buses playing every 8 minutes to the town and it was always so easy to take the bus, with just a minute walk to the bus stop. We had taken a double room with shared bathroom and we were thoroughly satisfied with our stay. The receptionist was always very friendly and cheerful and always ready to answer all our queries.The Swiss chocolates kept for the customers was such a kind gesture.The shared kitchen had all the equipments and utensils required for cooking and a nice outdoor and indoor seating to eat food. Though we stayed just for one night we cooked our own food. The breakfast was plentiful and always refilled. Though there wasn't much crowd when we went, the whole ambience was very good and food was also good with plenty of options. Overall a good place to stay and we were thoroughly satisfied with our stay. Thanks to all the staff at the reception and breakfast lounge for taking care of all our requirements and making our stay a very satisfying one.

I stayed for a night, basically I'm a princess now. It has a museum which it should be called experience instead of museum and it tells the story of the Burgdorf from the beginning till now.

All hostels in Bern

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    VERY high standard of furnishings, gorgeous grounds , very friendly staff, perfect location and best hostel breakfast I’ve ever had. Appreciated being able to leave our luggage there upon checkout too and the 24 hour reception was really useful as we arrived late

    The staff was very friendly and helpfull. The accomodations were roomy and the open kitchen very well organised. Cereals, milk and tea were for free and there was a small coffeemachine. All the rooms and shared spaces were really clean. This hostel deserves a spot in my top 3 of best hostels I visited.

    In an expensive country like Switzerland, finding a nice and cheap place where to stay is absolutely great. And this is Bern Backpackers. Nice rooms, safe, clean, kind staff and perfect location.
