Where to stay in Mattenhof
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Mattenhof is residential ground, block after block. Central Bern and the Innere Stadt carry the beds, and the practical shape of a Mattenhof stay is a room in the core with the Well Pump House and the quarter's streets reached on the way out. Monbijou sits between the two, a shorter step in from Mattenhof.

About Mattenhof
What are the main landmarks in Mattenhof?
One listed work anchors Mattenhof. The Well Pump House is the single entry the quarter carries on the heritage register, which leaves its built interest concentrated in one address rather than spread across a run of monuments. Monbijou, east of here, adds the Salvation Army Museum and Archives to a walk between the two. Holligen is nearer than either, and Weissenstein close behind.
What is the history of Mattenhof?
Bern's founding year of 1191 sits far behind the quarter names, and Mattenhof reaches the record as one of the municipal divisions the city later drew across its ground. Its heritage list holds one name. The Well Pump House is the one structure the register keeps here.
Above the quarter line, the Canton de Berne administers the ground, and Bern serves Switzerland as its federal city.
Where is Mattenhof?
Bern's built ground runs out to Mattenhof past Monbijou, with Holligen the nearest of the quarters around it and Weissenstein close behind.
