Picked the Hotel for closeness to the station a 10 minute walk.
Stylish hotel in the heart of Basel in walking distance to all the major attractions.
Lots of dining choices nearby.
Reception staff excellent,room superbly large by European standards,breakfast good variety.
Would definitely return
Very nice and comfortable rooms. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The location is great, walk to many old town areas, and central to many tram lines.
A real oasis in the hustle of the city with short walks to the central train station and old town. Free refreshments in the minibar and an excellent Bluetooth speaker was icing on the cake
Highly recommend - beautiful clean rooms, the friendliest and helpful staff and the location is perfect! Walkable to hotspots like Basel Zoo, Barfusserplatz, Kunstmuseum
Super convenient location in the heart of everything. Near a ton of restaurants, easy to access the transit system, and walk to the Rhine. Highly recommend
The interiors and room quality is excellent. However the hotel is in a shopping and restaurant centre so it feels very odd and there is a great deal of external noise. Our very large window looks out on to a service yard...
That said the location in town is good, so fine for a one night stopover.
Large beautiful and comfortable room, only diwnside is a pet peeve, not enough places to hang towels, and they dont provide a bag for taking dirty laundry home. Really good location, in the middle of everything.
We received a free room upgrade due to the bad weather. Room was gorgeous and included a free minibar and card that gave free transport around the city and discounts at certain museums.
As Americans, we are not used to not having A/C. A bit uncomfortable. But the staff were amazing helpful and friendly. Interesting location near lots of open restaurants and bars.
Lovely hotel in centre of Basel. Nice staff, nice breakfast (extra) and free mini bar (not re stocked during stay which was a shame). Only irritation - very noisy of a weekend as hotel is right on Main Street on top of bars. Woke on Saturday night / Sunday morning by a brawl outside window. To be fair hotel make you aware of risk of noise - but only after you have booked it. Nice place tho and very pleasant rooms and very comfortable with pleasant open plan design.
The hotel was very nice. Accessible to Old Basel, the room was clean and the staff was more than helpful, they were, in a word, delightful. The only drawback (which is not their fault) was that there is no air conditioning, due to regulations for new buildings in the city built after 2021. It was quite hot the first night we were there, so a bit uncomfortable. We were given a fan for the second night which made all the difference. You have to ask for one, they don't automatically make one available. Overall, though, I would give this hotel very high marks.
