Decent family room.
Good hotel particularly for a family group, room had 2 separate adjoining bedrooms. It was a bit dated but fine for our stay. Lift is very small only room for 2 people with cases.

Know what you are NOT paying for.
No air conditioning! One little fan, not nearly enough for hot humid nights! European so no wash cloths and maid service once a week! Also I am allergic to down and the only pillows they had were down. Sick the next morning, put the pillows in the closet opened all the windows and put the little fan on but they came in turned it off and closed the windows! My fault for not realizing there was no AC but only having down pillows was pretty un believable and unpleasant. Had to roll up an extra blanket to use as a pillow….

Great breakfast
Make sure you include breakfast in your reservation. It’s the best deal in Basel. Great location near many transit lines but walked from SSB in 35 minutes before got Basel pass. Comfortable room with opening windows. Cons were shower door opens into bathroom so can’t step onto mat and keep floor dry. Also, on Saturday night, loud music came from outside until 2 am.

Great value for the money and the location was very convenient. The young gentleman at the reception was incredible with his service and tips. Basic but clean hotel and our room was very spacious. Bathrooms could use some updating, but all in all, we were very satisfied with our stay and would come again.

Excellent, despite short stay
Excellent hotel. Staff are very friendly. The Basel Card which gives free tram travel and reduced prices in Basel's museums/theatre was appreciated. Only short tram ride into main centre of Basel. Close to exhibition/conference centre. The hotel is located approximately 15 mins walk from the old town. However, it is conveniently located close to tram stops for the town centre. If you download the SBB app then it is easy to plan journey via tram/bus (including trip to the airport). If you travel from Europe/UK be aware that Switzerland requires different travel adaptors.
