What an amazing place! Architecturally stunning and the friendliest and most helpful staff imaginable. The breakfast was delightful with organic produce - homemade bread, lovely cheeses, muesli ingredients and a freshly brewed coffee all included - and it was so easy to check in and out and leave my bags until the end of the day after I’d checked out. The location is fantastic with buses to Basel Bad HbHf and Basel BSS running close by. Supermarket around the corner and lots of eateries close by also. Options for singles, couples and dorm rooms all in an inspiring post-modernist building overlooking an expressway that makes for fascinating viewing - beats a TV any day!

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
