The view from our bedroom is outstanding and unforgettable! The location is a 10! The room is comfortable and the bed too. The yoga mat is a nice touch, though I didn’t visit the gym facilites this time.
SwitzerlandThe location could not be any better! Excellent view of the Rhine the middle bridge and old town. Room was very roomy! Plenty of space for the few days we stayed. Had drinks outside both nights at Cafe Spritz. All the staff we encountered were excellent, very courteous and always helpful! Especially for those of us who speak English. The breakfast was perfect! Great variety of food and all delicious! Not sure if we will be back in Basel again but if so, would be staying heat again!
