Verified review

8/10 Very good

While our room was very, very small and the only window looked out on the indoor elevator shaft, the location of the hotel was wonderful. Right on the river with several restaurants nearby, including one that is part of the hotel. The breakfast was very good. We asked for another room but was told there was only one left and it was even smaller and that the reason we got the room we did was because it was a discounted room. However, we were going on a river cruise and we could easily get a taxi to the dock.

The room was very clean and the staff were pleasant. We stayed in a room with an elevator view. I would recommend getting the street or river view so that a window can be opened.

Brilliant location by the river with food options onsite, and nearby transport options. Lots of character a little noisy at night due to being above bars on riverside. Must be one of the best places to stay in Basel.

Great Location Staff and Breakfast

Great Location, Great service and Breakfast. Hotel is old but very clean. It was comfortable but was a bit noisy due to all the trams running by. We did sleep pretty well anyway :-) Very walkable to old town :-)

Great central location. Clean and well kept. Old building is well maintained and has a nice rustic vibe. River view makes for a great atmosphere, but adds a bit of noise, which we enjoyed, but some may not.

A 5stars-3 stars hotel

It is a 5 stars -3 stars hotel. Nice staff. Continental breakfast- very well located in the center and nearby public transportation ( transport is free ). It is clean and very good for a three stars. A bit thin pillows, but overall very good!

Check in/out easy. Breakfast was good. Staff helpful. The hotel is older-floorboards in our room had rough areas, hot water shower control didn’t work well, couldn’t switch between showerheads. Body lotion, liquid body/hand soap provided, but no shampoo. Towels are very thin. There is construction,with a crane, outside window but that was ok. City nice to explore & the Basel City card from hotel provides free public transport

East West stay

East West was a super location with a lovely room overlooking the river by the main bridge. Room was a good size and well equpped. Sadly no A/C and it was a very hot weekend, so just the fan was not enough! Also, forgot but swiss hotels dont hsve tea/coffee making facilities which is a shame as well
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The location was excellent. Check in and out was painless.The room and bathroom was clean. The pillow was very thin and when in use it was virtually useless. The windows were over looked by a glass side lift and corridor windows which meant that the curtains had to be shut, normally not a problem but there was no ceiling light. Shower was also on the dark side as only a mirror light was there. No bedside charging was a bit of a nuisance. Breakfast was fine, cereals, cold meats,coffee and juices. Lunch outside was good with views to the river.

Quiet room

I got a room with windows inwards to the elevator and it felt a bit claustrophobic not to be able to see out and open the window- But, it was so so quiet and relaxing without any noice from the outside world. So I was happy ! (I was offered to change if I wanted)
