Reviews and Ratings
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 hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with a beautiful view of the Spalentor. The service is extremely friendly, professional, and includes young people studying tourist management. Its exceptional location right at the entrance to the old town provides ease of access to major sights and public transport. The dining experience includes typical European food and a nice start to the day, although some options could be improved. Overall, a great choice for a stay in this spectacular city.
The hotel offers spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet rooms, although there were some noise issues due to the streetcar passing by every 15-30 minutes. The location is excellent for exploring the city, within walking distance of major attractions, but it can be a bit noisy with the busy junction nearby. 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.
