Pros +
- Owner was very helpful with our incomplete "self check-in" (seniors), very friendly staff, parking in the garage (fee).Great location 5 min. walk from train station, and 15 minutes to the very beautiful old town of Biel.
- Easy check in / check out.Bed was OK, not too soft.Kettle in the room. Good location within the city.It's an old building but has a working lift.
- Easy entry, friendly staff, towels and soap provided, fan was helpful, water much appreciated, clean, shower nice.
Cons -
- No ventilator in the bathroom.Max parking on the street is 90min, which means you have to move your car at 8.30 in the morning or risk a fine I guess. I stayed one night so don't know what's the option for longer parking.
- English breakfast tea would have been nice
- There is a ground floor restaurant but breakfast was not available during our stay. While the self check-in is fairly straightforward, the reservation has an extra step: an emailed registration link that you use to pay the city tax and provide contact info. This is less convenient than a typical booking.com reservation.

Location, convenience, clean
This is a renovated building with freshly remodeled rooms accessible by a modern good-sized elevator. Our room was large, everything was very clean and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the TV got lots of channels. A small problem with front door code access was quickly resolved via a WhatsApp message to the host. We had no trouble using the elevator to bring our bikes up to our room.

Very nice hotel in a quiet area in Biel. The owner is very nice, the check-in procedure was seamless, and I could check in also at a later hour, at around 9 PM! The room was very clean and equipped with an electric water boiler for tea or coffee.
The location is perfect. It is close enough to the train station that walking is about 7 minutes. We chose the bus and it dropped us off less than a block from the hotel. The room is exactly as described. It was clean and everything worked. We enjoyed the balcony to sit a watch the area. The roll down shutters were nice since they darkened the room and made sleeping-in easier. There is a restaurant below. Breakfast is served there. It looked very nice but we didn't get a chance to stop in. The old area is a block one direction and shopping is about a block in the other direction. The hotel has been under new management and a new owner for a year. He is very friendly and has the enthusiam to keep the hotel as beautiful and better. The elevator was nice and useful especially when we arrived.
The hotel was very well situated at the city center and close to the old town of Biel. The room was very clean and the owner was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and we will definitely visit again!
Nothing much, all by all a 10/10!!
location (15 min on foot from station for elderly person), room (very nice, exceptionally with balcony), breakfast (copious without overdoing it).
Close proximity to downtown amenities. Very nice friendly owner.
Noisy location, especially in the summer when the windows must be opened. Some cigarette smoke from below restaurant can drift in through the windows.
great location and very attentive owner
okay size bedroom but not a lot of room to spare at all
Central Location, friendly and helpful host, check in procedure was very easy and efficient
Very nice dude, love the self check-in, super conveniant
Water pressure was almost non existing, but other than that all you need
Great location, top service from the hotel manager, great breakfast in the beautiful new restaurant which will open soon.
Comfortable suite, very clean, well ventilated and with a nice view. The location was also great, very easy to find and near transport and landmarks.

Amazing and central location, very clean and equipped room, fantastic and friendly hotel manager.
The location was right in the city center. Tye room size is very big with an amazing balcony view. The host is very warm and friendly and caring, making me feel like home. Definitely I will be a return guest.
Value! Our oldest lives in Biel. We visit often. Our previous lodging choice was significantly more expensive. The location is virtually the same, within 2 blocks
Very nice hotel, clean and well located. The host is very kind, available and responsive to our needs. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back when in Biel.
Great place, well situated, clean and functional,Self-check-in, which is absolutely fantastic.Will book again for sure.
