Great location, service, food. Poor accomodation ☹

Super location, friendly staff, great restaurant and service. Unfortunately, the rooms have no air conditioning, which is very uncomfortable during summer temperatures. We were offered 2 fans, which helped, but not really a solution. The room with the city view faced towards the construction site across a small street, which meant very loud noise starting at 7 AM every morning. The pictures on the web did not accurately show the room setup; the double bed room was super small and had only a very small closet. Overall, great location, service and food, but poor accommodations.

This was a cute little hotel right along the River in Basel. The staff were very friendly upon check in and even let us check in super early, like noon! We could walk to many cool spots from here and really enjoyed the local nightlife along the river. Our room was large, it felt like an apartment! We liked the towels in the waterproof dry bag if we had wanted to float the river. Close to lots of restaurants and shopping.

We had the premium room on the roof with a huge bathroom and bathtub. Room was always the right temperature with a big covered balcony. No minibar/fridge but had a coffee machine and hot water maker in the room Parking was a bit difficult but the staff went above and beyond to figure it out for us. Very close to all of downtown Basel. Small, very basic breakfast for 20cfh per person is not worth it but all in all very nice quiet hotel on the water. Once again, amazing staff.

Check in by an unfriendly, subtly condescending staff member. Room was on the city side on the first floor above the street. Smokers below on the street caused room to smell like cigarette smoke all night. Noisy room with construction sight directly across a narrow street. Small bathroom. Best part of our two night stay was the beverage center on each floor. Would not recommend this hotel.
