I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and had excellent shower and bath facilities. The service was incredibly kind and helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring the old town. Although the dining was a bit simple, the overall experience was great.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with great amenities but lacks the option to make hot drinks. The breakfast buffet is satisfying. The customer service is exceptional, going above and beyond with friendly and welcoming staff. The location is convenient with good public transport links to the historic center, though car noise could be bothersome. The dining experience provides a good selection and free rides on trams and buses.

The service is top-notch, with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The dining experience is varied, with delicious options available. Overall, a great stay with some minor noise disturbances.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms, making it a great place to stay in Basel. While facing the main road into town creates some noise from 6 am onwards, the value is excellent.
