Italian Lifestyle Hotel & Osteria Chartreuse

The hotel is very clean and the breakfast is excellent. The location is also brilliant because it's close to the lake and there is a bus-station very close too. There is also a Denner and a Migros next to it. Perfect for hiking trips.

the restaurant not open on Sunday after 5:00pm, causing us a lot of trouble. no staff members to find when in trouble. The room is spacious, but no basic chair and stand, etc. The bath room light is automatically off for a short time several times during a shower.

Not recommended in Summer. Maybe better in Winter. Way overpriced for what you get, even considering the location. The service is almost nonexistent (rarely present), although very friendly when attended. There’s no AC and no fans so the rooms get super hot. It does cool off in the evening but with the windows open you will (a) get noise and cigarette smoke from the restaurant below until 11 or 12, and (b) get a ton of road noise all throughout the nights. There’s no fridge in the rooms, only one tiny one shared by all the guests on the first floor. There’s no coffee maker in the room, only one shared by everyone. There’s no kettle at all so sorry if you prefer tea. The parking can be tricky in the evening when the restaurant is running, and very limited additional parking nearby. The downtown is not within walking distance. The best thing about this hotel is the proximity to the lakeside park across the street which is nice. Overall would have preferred to stay somewhere much nicer in Bern for $100CH less per night.
