Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location was central enough, very close to tram stops for easy city access. The rooms, though initially smelly from smoking, were clean and quite spacious. The service was lovely and helpful, offering assistance with breakfast arrangements and taxi bookings. The dining experience, although good, could have been earlier. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel is ideally situated in the old town of Basel, offering a convenient location for sightseeing and access to the city's excellent tram and bus system. The rooms are generally quiet and spacious, though cleanliness could be improved and maintenance issues with the lavatory faucet were noted. The twin room layout, instead of the paid-for double room, was a drawback for me.
The hotel is in a convenient location, perfect for visiting Basel with the tram right outside the door. The rooms were small and not exactly as pictured, lacking AC but with heaters available. The service was friendly but sometimes provided contradictory information. The location is ideal for exploring the city, with easy access to public transport. Overall, the hotel offers a decent stay with some room for improvement.
