Great hotel, beautiful rooms. Hotel bar is great. You can use the gym just 50m down the road. Great area of Basel to be in, easy to walk or get the tram/bus everywhere. The first two nights I was in a room facing the road that was extremely noisy, thankfully they moved me to a courtyard room which was much quieter.

Brilliant stay
We had a brilliant stay. The location was great, only a little walk over the bridge to see the centre of town. The hotel was great, had a coffee and water station on our floor plus apples for snacks. Really enjoyed it.

Amazing staff in an average hotel.
Amazing staff at front desk who were super friendly and helpful. Did their best to make my trip comfortable. Really appreciate it. However, the amenities, facilities and general comfort of the hotel is sub-par. For starters, the rooms are extremely noisy throughout the night. There’s drunk people, trams, garbage trucks, church bells etc. all keeping me up through the night. The pillows were uncomfortable, mattress was hard and was painful. The curtains would not close throughout leaving gaps for bright light to pass through. No iron in the room so you had to take all your clothes to a different floor. No coffee machines or fridge either in the room and there’s one in each floor and you have to wait. No fitness center or sauna. They give you a pass for next door to a really shabby gym. The breakfast is very lacklustre and they wouldn’t serve al a carte even though they had some items on the menu. The dinner menu was just average as well. I get all of the above if you’re trying to be a budget hotel, but you aren’t :/

Great Location and Excellent Service
Stayed 3 nights and would definitely return to this boutique hotel in great location. Excellent wifi, 24-hour access to unlimited nespresso coffee machines on each floor, and loved the cold sparkling water available at the coffee stations. Rooms vary in size, but smarttly laid out. Great service from front desk; grateful for the daily delivery (on request) of large bucket of ice.

Room was too warm, with ‘air conditioning’ only adjustable down to 21.1 degrees C. When this was queried with reception we were told it was local regulations, with no option of a fan offered. Location was very noisy, with social/restaurant area beneath two windows, and then a street where deliveries took place from about 5:30am beneath the other windows - so with windows open to try and control the temperature, sleep was limited due to the noise

Excellent hotel and location in Basel. Convenient and easy access via bus and train from Airport. Very friendly and excellent staff. Wonderful boutique style hotel with great restaurant and bar sidewalk area. Glad I booked her and plan to stay again when I return. Thank you!
