The hotel is really nice has very nice ambience. We were able to walk up and down along the river to the old town. The tram is running every five minutes so it’s very convenient. Really nice charming city breakfast was great. Not sure about the other dining options because we didn’t there.
Not sure about going to the casinos is a good idea because it just has rooms and rooms of slot machines of every kind kind of depressing only a few tables. So if you’ve been to Las Vegas, don’t bother to go to the casino.

Great view from the front rooms. Clean. Comfortable. You have to walk to the old town, or there is a tram across the street.

Very nice hotel but there were no windows worth a mention.
There was one for namesake that looked into a covered utility area that did not let in any light. So close that others could peer into your room.
Had to keep the window closed.

Property was nice & clean. Reception staff very polite, friendly & very helpful in guiding us on exploring Bern. Tram 9 stops just across the road from Swissotel and takes you to old town & Bern train station making it very convenient to travel.
