“In my opinion, this Ibis Budget property stands out for its genuinely friendly and helpful staff. While the location favors motorway access over immediate city amenities, complimentary public transport tickets bridge the gap to Bern's center. I would say the rooms are consistent with the brand, and I think it is a solid choice for those prioritizing service and connectivity.”
