A propriedade — Hostel 77

Hostel 77 occupies a converted 1970s office block near the main train station, so the lobby feels more like a functional workspace than a cosy lodge: bare concrete floors, modular furniture, and a self-check-in kiosk. The USP is location and price — you’re a five-minute walk from the station and a ten-minute walk from the Old Town, with basic private rooms and dorms that are clean but utilitarian. It suits budget-conscious solo travellers, backpackers, and short-stay visitors who plan to be out all day and just need a quiet bed and a hot shower at night.

Crónicas de Bern

Bern was founded in 1191 by Duke Berthold V of Zähringen on a sandstone peninsula encircled by the Aare River. Its medieval centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983, is built from local green sandstone and features six kilometres of covered arcades (Lauben) that shelter shoppers from rain and sun. The city grew as a trading hub and later became the Swiss federal capital in 1848, a status that left it with a compact political core rather than a sprawling financial district. Today Bern retains a small-town feel with big-city infrastructure: the Zytglogge clock tower still chimes mechanically as it has since 1530, and the parliament building (Bundeshaus) dominates the main square. Cultural identity here is pragmatic and green — the city has a strong bicycle culture, a famously clean river, and a low-key pride in being Switzerland’s de facto capital without the size of Zurich or Geneva.

Melhores meses

June and September: warm (20–25°C) with long daylight hours, but not as packed as July–August; the Gurten Festival in July draws crowds but June and September have fewer major events.

Peak / Festival Surge

July–August: school holidays across Europe push hotel occupancy above 90%; the Gurten Festival (mid-July) and Bernese Oberland day-trippers spike demand. Hostel 77 prices rise 30–50% above shoulder-season rates, and booking two months ahead is essential.

Orçamento da temporada

April–May and September–October: March–May averages 8–15°C with occasional rain, but hotel rates drop 20–30%; October sees golden foliage along the Aare but cooler days (10–15°C).

Tempo e embalagem

Bern’s climate is famously fickle — a sunny 25°C morning can turn into a thunderstorm by lunchtime; always carry a compact rain jacket or umbrella in a daypack, even on clear days. Pack layers: a light jumper or fleece for evenings (12–16°C) and a windproof shell for the long covered arcades won’t cut wind off the river.

Livro City Briefing — Bern

  • The main railway station (Bern Hbf) is undergoing platform renovations until late 2026; some tracks may have short-notice changes, so check departure boards 15 minutes before travel.
  • A new beer-and-street-food market, 'Bärenplatz Bites', launches every Saturday from June to September on Bärenplatz, displacing some car parking — good for cheap eats near the Bundeshaus.
  • The Aare River swimming season opens officially in June; the public lidos (Marbaches, Lorrainebad) are free, but strong currents mean only competent swimmers should attempt the downstream float from the Schwellenmätteli pier.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Hostel 77, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the inner courtyard (Hinterhof) if available. These floors are far enough from the street to reduce tram and pedestrian noise, while being easily reachable by stairs or the lift if the lift is small.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the ground floor (especially near reception or the shared kitchen/bar) and any room directly facing the main street (Spitalgasse or nearby arterial road, given the city centre location) — street noise can be constant until late evening.

🪟

Best views

Upper floor rooms (3rd floor) facing southwest toward the Aare river or the Old Town rooftops offer the best view in Bern — you can see the Cathedral spire or the river bend, but confirm orientation at check-in as windows facing the street just show tram lines and buildings.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 2 and 3 are generally quietest, assuming the building has no rooftop bar or loud exhaust system. The 3rd floor is the topmost likely with a standard 3-storey building, so quieter due to fewer neighbours above.

🔊 Noise notes

Bern's main streets have trams running 6am–midnight, which rattle windows on lower floors. The hostel's bar and common area will generate noise until 10–11pm on weekends. Backing onto the courtyard reduces this significantly.

Insider tips

Check-in early (around 2pm) to secure a courtyard-facing room; the request is often accommodated at this 3-star hostel if you arrive before the tour groups. Street parking in Bern is limited and expensive — use the nearby Bahnhof parking garage (about 5 mins walk) and ask at reception if they have discount vouchers for the garage.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

25 min · Every 10–15 minutes (weekdays); every 20 minutes (weekends) · 05:00–00:30

💡 Bus 160/161 runs direct to Westside. Get off at 'Brünnen Bahnhof' stop, then walk east on Brünnenstrasse - the apartment block is on the right, 2 minutes.

Bern Hauptbahnhof → Westside (Brünnen) stop

20 min · Every 7–10 minutes (daytime); every 15 minutes (evenings) · 05:00–00:30 (night bus after midnight)

💡 Tram 8 and tram 9 both stop at 'Westside' - same walk as bus. Avoid tram 8 during rush hour (07:30–08:30) if you have luggage - it gets packed.

Principais atrações em Bern

Münster (Bern Cathedral) Free

💡 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.

Bundeshaus (Federal Palace) Public Viewing Gallery Free

💡 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.

Bärengraben (Bear Pit) Free

💡 Visit at feeding time (usually 10am and 4pm) to see keepers interact with them. Go early to avoid crowds.

Rosengarten (Rose Garden) Free

💡 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.

Zytglogge (Clock Tower) Tour

💡 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.
