Hotel Balsthal has a unique charm with its three long buildings and a warm atmosphere. The cleanliness and cozy feel of the hotel were delightful, and I really enjoyed the friendly interactions with the staff. However, the rooms could feel a bit tight, and the dining options, while decent, lacked some variety.

I had a nice stay at this simple-country hotel, just a short drive from Bern. The rooms are small but clean, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. While the breakfast was decent, I found it a bit lacking in variety. The dining experience had moments of greatness, but some dishes like the salad could use improvement. Overall, it’s a good spot if you're looking for a quiet vacation in the village.
