Hotel Grauholz

“Great hotel for a night”

Very clean & comfortable room. The receptionist was very kind and multilingual. We even received free coffee and tea in the evening. The WiFi was super fast. Overall a great hotel for a one night stop (this is on a highway stop after all, so there's nothing to do without a car).

“Clean and adequate”

I’d like to give it a 3.5. It would be a 4 if the AC was good. Visited in June when the temperature was around 25°C and the AC could not keep our room cool enough. Windows weren’t really an option due to highway noise. Very clean and modern but simple. No luxury. Perfectly adequate. However the… lisää

However the only reason to stay here is to save some money if you don’t want to pay the rates in Bern proper. Staff were very friendly and professional.

Chose this hotel as a base for 5 nights to explore the area and wanted a reasonably priced hotel with parking and air-conditioning and this was the hotel that met that criteria. The hotel is situated just off the motorway and the only way I found to get to the hotel was by taking the motorway which while not a toll road does require your car having a Swiss motorway vignette which costs CHF40, my GPS did show a back road to the hotel but when I took it one day when trying to get back to the hotel it just ended at a locked gate. The check in was friendly and easy and my room 317 was a good size but very basic and overlooked a rather neglected courtyard but beyond the courtyard were some lovely distant views. The room was air-conditioned which was much appreciated during the heatwave they were having in July 2022. The room had a couple of problems one was the TV which wouldn’t turn off a few times and the only way to turn it off was to unplug it but the plug was under the desk and required getting down on your hands and knees to unplug it. The hotel was able to give me a power board so I didn’t have to go under the desk to turn it off which while not an ideal solution did solve the problem during my five night stay. While it was a double room it was actually two single beds next to each other but as I was travelling alone and booked a single room only one of the beds was made up There was a big luggage rack and small closet with some shelves and a safe at a decent height and a big bench for a desk with a chair and another easy chair in the corner. The room was a disabled room and the bathroom just has a shower corner with a curtain and a fold down seat. A nice touch at the hotel from what I could gather was that any muffins and the like left over from the breakfast service were laid out on a table for guests to have later in the day and while there was no fridge in the room I was able to get some ice from the front desk each night. Apart from a restaurant and petrol station at the entrance to the hotel there is nothing within walking distance so a car is a must if staying here but it met my needs as an economical hotel, for Switzerland for me to tour the area. There was plenty of free parking and while the hotel is situated in a motorway rest area it is up a bit of a hill from the petrol station so it didn’t cause any problems. Can’t say enough nice things about the staff who were always friendly and helpful during my stay.
