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 !

Stayed there for 2 nights. Parking was conveniently situation behind the hotel. Check in was relatively strait forward and they were very accommodating with the special bedding arrangement for the children. Room itself is Ok and clean with basic furnishing. One of our beds creaked all night and we were told that there was no more extra bed to replace... More

Basically an okay hotel; nothing special or fancy, nothing bad. Only thing is that they do not have air conditioning - but you can get a ventilator in your room. Train station is a few minutes away, modern city centre also; the old city centre is a 15 minute walk through the trainstation & modern city centre.

I stayed at this hotel in late 02, so hopefully it's been renovated since then. The location is fine and I don't mind basic hotels, but the main problem I had was that the room was very out dated, and dirty. Thankfully the bedsheets were clean, but the bedspread (had some holes in it) and floor were extremely dirty (stained... More

I stayed in the Continental in Biel-Bienne in March 2004 and, although the hotel seen from the outside is nothing special (a modern building), I really was delighted by the excellent service and the nice atmosphere inside. Staff at the reception desk is extremely friendly (e.g., a voucher for a free welcome drink at the hotel bar is given to... More
