Best Bern Hostels with Breakfast Included

Two Bern hostels run a serious breakfast operation: Hostel 77 (CHF 12 buffet, optional, vegetarian options, 7-10 am) and Bern Youth Hostel (buffet included on most rates, CHF 14 if not, 7-10 am). Both spreads are full continental — cheese, ham, eggs, fresh bread, fruit, yoghurt, juice, coffee — and reviewer consensus is that they're meaningfully better than the comparable Old Town café breakfasts that charge CHF 18-25 for half the variety. In a city where a sit-down brunch routinely tops CHF 30, the hostel breakfast is a budget difference of CHF 100+ over a 5-day stay.

§ 01 — Traveler's take
“Reviewers across the two hostels mention the breakfast specifically. Hostel 77's reviews flag 'breakfast was excellent' and 'better than the cafés we tried in town'. Bern Youth Hostel's reviews flag 'incredible price with transport and breakfast included' and 'the cheese variety was amazing for a hostel'. Common note: book the breakfast at check-in (Hostel 77) or confirm it's included in your rate (Bern Youth Hostel) — adding it day-of is sometimes possible but not always.”

§ 03 — Tips

Tips for Choosing a Hostel with Breakfast Included in Bern

Tip Nº 01

Book Hostel 77's breakfast (CHF 12) at check-in for at least one morning — the buffet is the rare hostel breakfast that reviewers actually flag as superior to nearby cafés. Coffee is included, juice and pastries are unlimited, served 7-10 am in the dining room.

Tip Nº 02

Confirm Bern Youth Hostel's rate includes breakfast at booking — the youth hostel federation runs separate fare structures and the breakfast-included version saves CHF 14 per morning vs. the breakfast-out version. The buffet is cheese, ham, eggs, fresh bread, fruit, yoghurt, coffee, juice, served 7-10 am.

Tip Nº 03

Aim to be at the dining room by 8 am — that's when both hostels' breakfast peaks and you'll naturally meet your dorm-mates over coffee and a plan-of-the-day from the bulletin board. After 9:15 am the room thins out fast.

Tip Nº 04

Both hostels allow yoghurt-and-bread takeaway for hikes — wrap a sandwich at the buffet end for the Gurten or Bantiger trail, no judgment. Don't try this at the Old Town cafés, they will judge.
