“A place to come back not only once...”
The place is not only exceptional by all means. The owner takes the time to welcome you, explains everything that you can do around, gives a lot of tips and suggestions and personally brings you to the room. The room (a family room) was very big and furnished with taste. I travel a lot so I can say that this place is one of the top of my list now whenever I come to Switzerland. The breakfast is a culinary experience, not a simple buffet. You get your breakfast with all what you think of and brought to you at your table. The restaurant is also very well organized with taste and cozy places. The staff simply exceptional too

“A perfect family stay while visiting Biel — cozy and welcoming.”
We absolutely loved our stay! The suite was beautiful and spacious, tastefully decorated with two serene, comfortable bedrooms and an elegant, cozy living room with large windows overlooking the surrounding nature. Both dinner and breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant were exceptional, and the staff were simply outstanding—so kind, attentive, and welcoming.

Newly rebuild and comfortable hotel with good parking possibilities. Very nice rooms of decent size. Incredible hospitality by the owner including welcome drink and explanation of the area. He makes you feel at home immediately. The breakfast was outstanding (and more than enough 😉)

“Just exceptional”
What a surprise. I was amazed to find such a lovely lead hotel in the middle of the wonderful Jura region. The owners couldn't be more friendly. With a very warm welcome, a modern, roomy, clean and beautiful room and a fantastic breakfast I was more than happy. Best of all for me was the exceptional barista coffee in the morning. Thanks for all, I'll be back. Andy

“A lovely place to stay in the area”
The weather was bad, so it was difficult to see the location, but what we did see looked amazing. We would like to return. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom excellent. The owners were very kind and offered information about the area and suggested places for dinner as the restaurant is closed on Wednesdays. They even arranged for us to visit a local winery, which was strictly still closed. Breakfast was very good in a good atmosphere as locals came in for their morning coffee. Melanie and Marcello were very good hosts.
