    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.

    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.
