Not great. It is all a bit depressing, aparently the rooms were all recently redecorated! Well if they were it was done on a very strict budget that is all I can say. Okay, the room was clean and functional and it will do for two nights. The bathroom has been painted, even the ceramic tiles were painted? I had... More

Having in mind good experience of Best Western hotels in the US about 30 years ago I was looking forward to a nice night in this hotel overlooking the lake. Don't think anything had changed since the last 30 years. Old fashioned, very basic, but clean. The price was reasonable at 112 Swiss Francs including parking, although the overflow parking... More

The hotel is very very close to the train station and right between Bien and Nidau, so that you can have a two minutes walk to go to both the places. The staff is very friendly and you feel strongly that, despite the bad appearance, the hotel is part of an important international chain. My room was a single one,... More

We overnighted in Biel last weekend, and were looking for an economic option for just one night. The Continental is located only 10 min from the lake, easy to find, and has a free parking lot behind the building. It seems they were pretty booked, as there was just a crowd of people gathering in the lobby when we arrived.... More

Biel is not a tourist area but this hotel is situated just a short walk from a beautiful lake. Also it has an old part of the city with a Fenikula railway. The Continental is typical of all best western hotels, very austere from the outside and basic on the inside. The room at the back was acceptable but ""... More

I stayed at this hotel for a weekend while attending activities in nearby Neuchâtel. The hotel's attraction was the location near the Biel/Bienne train station and decent reviews. I was able to book for a relative bargain price on booking.com and this made up for the CHF26 round-trip train fare back to Neuchatel. The hotel was quiet - presumably busier... More

This unpretentious hotels offers a quiet sleep, a very good breakfast, and free parking - all for a decent price. Its relatively central location - one can walk both to the town centre as well as to the nearby lake in a few minutes - makes it suitable for both the leisure and the business traveller. There are also meeting... More

Good Location for Travel / Visit in the Biel/Bienne Area close to the lake, very good restaurants nearby ( dining on the lake terraces ), friendly staff offer warm welcome, free welcome drink, superiour breakfast buffet, free parking, large hypermarket ( Migros ) in walking distance, located in the city of Biel/Bienne, but still quiet location for a good-night-sleep !
