Centrally located with easy walking access to museums, a grocery store, and public transportation. The breakfast was enjoyable.
Alexandra, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location, very clean, great internet access, very friendly and accommodating staff. A little noisy due to the tram and although they state it has air conditioning, it's in the pipes in the walls, so the room does not get cool if it's hot.

10/10 Excellent

A+. Had a wonderful long weekend in Basel. The hotel is convenient to the tram and an easy 5 minute walk to the Rhine or 5 minute ride to Basel SBB. From the moment we arrived, we were happy. Am American traveler’s hotel - comfy beds, big towels, free bottlea of water, and ample room for living in the room! Highly recommend and would stay there again in a heartbeat!
Beth, 4-night trip

Craig, 1-night trip

The location was great! The staff were friendly and accomodating. Very nice hotel! We overslept since we'd had a huge travel day, and although we were late checking out, the staff were very understanding and didn't charge us extra.
Denise, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great sized, immaculate designer rooms
Kim, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was very nice, located in central Basel. The only downside was that it, apparently like other recently renovated hotels, did not have air conditioning (and it was unseasonably hot in Basel.
Michael, 2-night trip
