Like with all hotels in the area, there is no air-conditioning. So if you happen to stay there on some very hot days, and you want to leave the window open, and your room is on the street side, then yes there can be a little noise (especially from train going past). However, I managed this fine with ear plugs and still had a good sleep.

Hotel location is quite convenient, walking distance into town or local train station within a few hundred metres. Hotel is well looked after, very clean. Check-in process was by far the best self check-in I have done (most previous experiences in other places always involve some complication, this was was immediate and simple). Staff were also very friendly when I saw them the next day.

No air conditioning!

The breakfast was very good. The location was excellent for my needs.

A good stay. Nothing negative to report.

The hotel is well situated and provides a good service. There is a local for storing bicycles, which was needed for us. Breakfast was good. The hotel is situated on busy street, but has good sonar insulation.

Comfortable although the mattress was a bit too soft.

cost of breakfast too high for offer, very simple breakfast

When you forget the adapter for the power outlets it can be tricky. There is a smoking room on the 1st floor (why???) and you can smell it in the room.

Nice breakfast also with local food. Really good! The room provided everything needed.

Road noise is the obvious negative. It's very close to the road although it's not the cars that disturb you but the trams. They start very early in the morning and sometimes seem to thunder by. There were earplugs in the room and we used them. Took us a minute to work out check-in although definitely not as bad as some negative reviews. As mentioned earlier, the area with the microwave, kettle and tea bags was a little confusing, we weren't sure whether we were having a complimentary cup of tea or taking something we shouldn't be.

It is very convenient for access to Solothurn plus there's a supermarket very close by. Nice touch that there's an area with a kettle, plates and microwave (although I don't speak Swiss German so I'm still not totally sure whether we were meant to use them!) Room was very clean and the check-in process was fairly straight forward. Great off-street parking and, for Solothurn, relatively inexpensive.

Location and Check in

Friendly staff, very clean room. Excellent location with a 10 minute walk to the city. The free use of the bicycles was perfect.

We had a room on the road side and it is very noisy. If you stay at the Bären self check in hotel you should choose a room on the other side wich is quieter.

Very clean, organized, comfortable bed, great breakfast

The rooms street side are terribly noisy.

as visible on the map and stated by others, hotel is located on the tram line. one can hear it a bit - we were on the garden side - but not a major issue and surely the night was super quiet.

impeccably clean, great for 1-2 nights stay (room on the small side). very nice breakfast. close to the city and pleeenty of parking places - for free! Nice personnel and the self-serve “mini-bar” in the foyer.

1. It was not at all clear how to use public transportation to get to the Altstadt. It would have been nice if there had been a tram/bus schedule clearly visible in reception, or at least a map on how to go to the train station and Altstadt by foot. In the end, these places were quite easy to find, but my first hours in this new city were disorientating. 2. The self check-in device/process at the front door was a little hard to understand. Maybe it was a question of imprecise translation into English from German. 3. The staff did their jobs, but could have been a bit friendly and welcoming.

1. The room itself was clean and comfortable. I was next to the parking lot and street, but did not notice much noise, so the insulation must be pretty good! 2. It is only a 10-minute walk to the entrance of the beautiful Altstadt. 3. Parking is very convenient and free. One of my colleagues arrived by car and really appreciated it.

If you are sensitive to noise, make sure you pick the mountain side only: the street side rooms have a ventilation system, which comes on at night (around 4-5 AM in the morning) and makes a continous humming noise.

The hotel is conveniently located in a calm area, with easy reach to public transport. The self-service check in makes things convenient and easy - In particular after hours! Beds are comfortable, the bathrooms have everything you'd need (including a hair dryer). As a little bonus: the hotel's theme being gummy bears, you have some fun things around these; including a gummy bear fortune teller book next to your bed! 😋 🐻 🧸
