All good. Our room was clean and good size, the bed and pillows were very comfortable, bathroom was clean and well equiped. Nice touches with water/coffee available at the reception. Good location, just 2 min walk from the bus stop. Reasonable price for Basel.

A very nice hotel, well located, close to the city centre. The staff was very helpful and always keen to help. The room was comfortable, a tad small but just what you need for a long weekend. Very easy to reach by tram, bus, or foot. Breakfast was very good as well.
