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.

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 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.

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.

Clean, good price, night door a hassle
I stayed at Hotel Dufour in Biel while visiting Switzerland for my daughter's wedding. It was a nice place to stay, the only issue I had was with the door at night. The hotel doesn't have a night receptionist and after 12 am you cannot get back into the hotel. However, most of the time this was not an issue for me, but it was a hassle making sure I got back to the hotel before 12 am. Overall, if you're looking for a clean hotel right in Biel for a good price, this is the hotel for you.

Clean, comfortable, good deal, no "bells&whistles"
We stayed at Hotel Dufour in Biel while visiting Switzerland for our daughter's wedding. The hotel was clean and comfortable, however there isn't a night receptionist so make sure you take the night door key with you whenever you leave in case you don't make it back in time. The breakfast was a basic european breakfast, and sometimes the hallways smelled a bit like curry (there is an indian restaurant below the hotel) but it wasn't a problem for us as the actual room didn't smell and was very clean. overall, it was a pleasant stay and a good deal for the price compared to some of the other hotels in Biel. We would definitely stay there again.

Reasonably priced and pleasant hotel
I really liked Hotel Dufour - it was just what I needed, a fairly priced/affordable hotel room in central Biel/Bienne for an overnight stay. Room was a really good size, washing facilities fine. As a tea-drinking Brit, I really missed a kettle and tea making facilities, but I was happy with breakfast and the waiter and receptionist were both really helpful and nice.
