Landhaus Hotel Bern

Landhaus Hotel Bern sits on Altenbergstrasse in Lorraine, an artsy, riverside district just across the Aare from the Old Town and roughly a ten-minute walk from the city centre. The hotel-hostel hybrid occupies a converted house with a relaxed, alternative character that reflects the neighbourhood's reputation as Bern's creative quarter, popular with independent travellers, artists, and visitors looking for a less touristy base. Rooms range from simple private doubles to multi-bed dorm-style rooms, all modestly furnished but comfortable, and several look out over the small garden at the rear of the property. An organic breakfast buffet is included and served each morning, a notable point of distinction for a budget property, while the riverside setting puts guests close to the Aare's swimming spots and walking paths along the water. There is no restaurant beyond breakfast, no spa, and no pool, but Lorraine's own cluster of cafés, bars, and galleries is within easy walking distance. Bicycle rental is available on site, well suited to the flat riverside routes connecting Lorraine to the Old Town, and the kitchen and lockers support a self-sufficient, budget-friendly stay. Lorraine's reputation as Bern's creative quarter also means the hotel is a good base for visitors drawn to street art, independent galleries, and a more local, less touristy slice of the city than the Old Town offers.
