Location was great. But staff, particularly Ivan, was incredible. Ivan was so helpful over and over again and really helped make our stay wonderful. He and his female colleague that was working on New Years Eve in the evening were wonderful. There was also a maid there from Portugal that spoke Italian as well and she was extremely helpful. I didn’t get a chance to find out her name but we had an issue and she went above and beyond to help us take care of it. Grateful to all for such a wonderful stay. One of the best we’ve ever had.

    Nice hotel in a funky design. Just outside the main centre of the city. However this was not an issue as there is a bus stop outside the hotel. It is a 10 minute ride into the town centre. Even better, the city of Bern offered free transport to tourists for the duration of their stay.

    Wow this place is amazing. The online check-in system is so cool. The hosts are super friendly. You get a complimentary public transport pass with your stay. The aesthetics and interior designs of the studio were on point. A real home away from home The hotel is easily accessible by Train, bus and Tram from the main station. and a supermarket right at the main entrace of the building. I loved it. You cant enjoy Bern unless you stay at STAY KOOK. I recommend. will definately come again

    Excellent smart hotel in the best location. Super comfy beds and nice interior design too. The building has character as it's right in the old town. And the shared kitchen concept with comp water/tea/coffee/fruit is great instead of including breakfast.
