Jacqueline, United Kingdom

Staff, staff, staff, they were so nice. All the little things made the stay - drinks in the garden on arrival, upgrade to room with balcony, dvds available at desk, fresh flowers, slippers, breakfast to go on the last morning. Bed was super comfortable. Big plus was number 3 tram just across the road, or a walk under the Spalentor arch to cafes and bars

Louise, United Kingdom

Perfect location, staff excellent, cost reasonable for Basel

Mark, United States of America

Nice hotel right on the edge of the old city. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Despite being on a busy road the hotel is very well sound proofed and have aircon. Breakfast excellent. Bus and tram stops outside hotel and day tickets are provided by the hotel.

David, United Kingdom

I hardly know where to begin. The reception staff was wonderful and friendly. Each of them always knew how I could get to where I wanted to go. They always went the extra mile trying to find additional information about where I might want to go, how to get there, and other options of what I might want to do. There was always fresh fruit at the front desk. The room was quite spacious and modernized with a number of "perks," including a 3D DVD player and a huge selection of free DVDs down at reception. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a large, stuffed chair and found it was also a rocking chair!

Ml, United States of America

Excellent service. Front desk personnel were outstanding. Room was lovely.

Mary, United States of America

Staff!!! Ladies on the reception are one of the most professional and pleasant I met (and I have almost 100 reviews only on booking.com). Nothing is problem for them to do. In addition they upgraded my room FOC. Room was very spacious and clean with nice balkony and comfort bed. WI-Fi excellent. Very nice small bar next to reception. Breakfast quite rich. Parking in hotel rented garage just across the street. Location- 7 min walk to downtown with tram line in front of the hotel. This is the best value for money I found in Basel so far.

Ideal place to visit and enjoy Basel. Well above expectations.

눉We did not like the breakfast - both variety and quality. It doesn´t match with a 4 star hotel. The corridors smells badly. Maybe this was caused by the extreme heat outside (and the corridors are not covered by AC), but still. We suspect the old looking and not that clean carpets for that bad smell. We were also surprised by the fact hotel parking is several streets off the hotel and you have to pay 15CHF per car/night. I am afraid Booking.com did not advertise this in advance. And finally, the hotel took a preauthorisation of the credit card two weeks prior to the arrival, but when we checked out the reception deducted the amount again. This meant the preauthorised sum was released by the bank two days after we were all gone. And this is not convenient.
눇We liked the approach of the young staff at the reception desk. We considered it nice that the hotel offers the "fish bags" for swimming in Rhine river. It is comfortable when you get a public transport ticket for the whole stay. The location is almost strategic for exploring the whole city.
