財産 — Zollhaus
Zollhaus is a converted 19th-century customs house, all exposed brick, concrete floors and huge windows that flood the lobby with light. The bar doubles as a check-in desk, and the smell of fresh bread from the bakery next door drifts through. It suits design-minded travellers who want minimalist comfort in a former industrial space, not chintzy tradition.
Bernの歴史
Bern was founded in 1191 by Duke Berthold V of Zähringen, who built a fortress on a peninsula in the Aare River. The old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a near-intact medieval core with sandstone arcades, 16th-century fountains and the Gothic Münster cathedral. Today, Bern is Switzerland’s serene federal capital, home to the national parliament and a laid-back cultural scene that prizes live music, contemporary art and café life along the Aare quays.
訪れるのに最適な時間
Bern完全ガイド →最高の月
June and September: warm enough for swimming in the Aare (June averages 18–24°C), city is bustling but not overwhelmed, and the BEA (Bern Expo) crowds are absent. September also brings the Zibelemärit onion market in late November, but that’s a separate spike.
ピーク/フェスティバル Surge
July: peak summer with the Gurtenfestival (mid-July) and regular 28°C highs; hotel prices jump 30–50% above shoulder rates. August is similarly busy with the Bernese Jazz Festival. Demand drives 3-star rooms to CHF 150–250/night.
予算肩の季節
May and October: May offers tulips at the Rosengarten and reliably mild weather (11–18°C); October sees autumn colours and sharp discounts—rooms often drop to CHF 100–130/night. Crowds thin significantly after the September onion market.
天気&パッケージ
Bern can flip from sun to thunderstorm in 20 minutes, even in July, due to its valley location between the Jura and Alps. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and layers—a T-shirt can work at 10am, a sweater by 6pm.
LIVE CITY BRIEFING — Bern
- The Aare river bathing season runs from June to September; access at the Marzili lido is free, but check daily warnings for water levels or cold snaps after heavy rain.
- Bern’s tram line 9 has extended its weekend night service until 2am, making late returns from the city centre to the Bahnhof straightforward.
- The Kunstmuseum Bern reopens its expanded modern wing in spring 2026 with a new café—book tickets ahead for summer weekends.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Zollhaus, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 2 or 3 facing the rear courtyard. They avoid street noise from Grosser Muristalden and get afternoon light. The lift services all floors, so upper floors are easy to reach.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing Grosser Muristalden – especially on floors 1 and 2 where tram and bus noise is loudest. Also skip rooms next to the lift shaft on any floor; the motor hums at night.
Best views
Front-facing rooms on floors 3 or 4 have a direct view of the Bear Park and, on clear days, the Bernese Alps in the distance. But priority here is quieter rear views – ask specifically for a 'courtyard-side' room if peace matters more than panorama.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 – furthest from street level and from the breakfast room on the ground floor. The lift stops here but traffic is minimal.
🔊 Noise notes
Grosser Muristalden is a main bus/tram route into central Bern. Tram lines run outside the door until midnight and restart around 5am. The hotel also has a small bar on the ground floor that can be heard in room 101-103. Courtyard rooms are significantly quieter.
Insider tips
1. Parking is extremely limited – book a space at least a week ahead, or use the nearby parking garage 'Lorraine' (5 mins walk). 2. Ask at check-in if they can give you a room with a view of the Bear Park; they sometimes upgrade for free if available, especially on weekdays.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Bernのトップ観光スポット
💡 Skip the tower if you're after views—the Rosengarten is free and better. Instead, sit in the cloister garden for peace. The small museum adjacent is free with donation requested.
💡 Check the parliamentary calendar online before visiting. Off-season, the self-guided audio tour costs CHF 5 but includes the dome—worth it for the architecture.
💡 Visit at feeding time (usually 10am and 4pm) to see keepers interact with them. Go early to avoid crowds.
💡 Bring a picnic and sit on the benches near the terrace. The restaurant adjacent serves decent coffee, but avoid peak lunch hours when it's packed.
💡 Skip the interior tour unless you're obsessed with clock mechanisms—the free hourly show from the street is just as good. Arrive 5 minutes early for a good view.
