Good value hotel in Biel. Breakfast included. They have a parking offer for 15.- per day close by, better than playing 2.20 per hour for public spots in the streets close to the hotel. Recommended.

Nice big room, but be mindful that there is no air conditioner. The windows open well enough but it was very noisy at night. Everything else was great! Great breakfast and staff were friendly.

Nice small hotel. Reasonable breakfast included in the room price. City parking across the hotel free from 8 pm to 7 am. Only issue was that it was kind of cold in the room, and the bed only had 1 sheet. After asking for a blanket to be warmer in bed, we got 2 extra sheets. Satisfactory but not exactly luxurious.

Basic hotel with simple breakfast, 15 minute walk from the train station. No one was at reception when I arrived and I called the number indicated three times before someone arrived to give me keys. There was a carnival set up outside and construction or something happening early in the morning, so it wasn't the most peaceful stay but worked fine for a night.

Indischer Hotel

Es ist eine sehr lange Geschichte mit diese auf Inhalt. Unglaublich schlechte Erfahrung… es gibt keine Rezeption. Niemand ist dort. Wir sind gegen 15:00 Uhr ins Hotel eingetroffen. Keine Empfang. Man man muss Hotel auf private Nummer telefonieren echt dann erscheint jemand zum einchecken. Der Doppelzimmer ist keine Standard wird. Es ist ziemlich sehr klein für zwei Personen einen Deckel ( No Go ) - Heizung war sehr heiss eingestellt. Man konnte nicht verstellen alle drei Zimmer. - das Bad ist eng Passt nur eine Person rein. Rote Lampen.. Eine Zimmer von uns wurde doppelt verkauft. Als wir gegen 21:00 Uhr zurück kam, lag eine Frau auf dem Bett. Und schleppt unsere Koffer irgendwo im Lobby. Ausser sie haben unsere private Gegenstände gesammelt und von Zimmer rausgenommen. Als wir zurück kamen, sind wir schockiert. Also so etwas haben wir noch nie erlebt. Stellt euch vor, wenn eure Gegenstände wertvoller Sinn, es könnte jeden dann klauen.. und keine würde es garantieren. Wenn wir gewusst hätten, circa 20 Fr. mehr auszugeben nehmen dann ist eine vier Stein Hotel Nebenmann haben wir so ist das nicht erleben müssen.

Ein einfaches City-Hotel mit wenig Komfort, das aber für den Preis ganz okay ist. Im Haus gibt es ein indisches Restaurant.
