We had a one night stay at this hotel. The room and the bathroom were super clean. The staff was also kind and helpful. The hotel provides a Basel card which means you can use transportation free within the city. The hotel is located on Grosspeterstrasse where you can easily find the tram stop and go anywhere you want with public transport. I highly recommend this hotel to the tourists who want to explore this beautiful city.

We booked here after abandoning our apartment air BnB in the heatwave as we needed some air con. The hotel was very clean, very comfortable, the staff were very friendly, the coffee machine in the room was nice, spacious bathroom. We just found the restaurant didn’t have something we would all eat as a family with kids. It’s just a short walk to the tram stop as well to get into the centre of town. Would stay again if we came back to Basel.
