Location is a 10, just opposite to the train station and direct bus to the airport. Staff in the reception is very helpful, especially the gentleman who assisted us to check out, who was very friendly and patiently answered our questions and also recommended us where to visit before we went to the airport. Thank you so much!

Good business hotel next to Basel SBB. Been there for 4 nights. Room was clean and had all amenities expected from a 4 star hotel. Structure of the building is a bit odd. You need to take two elevators and navigate some interconnected buildings.

Beautiful hotel! Literally across from the train station, so convenient for people traveling by train. The area around the hotel isn’t the most beautiful, but it felt safe, and overall much nicer than train stations in many other large cities. Would definitely stay here again!

The staff was amazing and went out of their way to set up up to go the Alps when our tour was cancelled. It was a beautiful hotel across the street from the train station and walkable to many restaurants and shopping.
