    I was surprised the outside of the building covered, apparently it is getting a new skin (paint). It would be nice to advise clients ahead of time about the work via email.

    Excellent location across the train station. Clean, friendly and accommodating staff. Outstanding front desk employees, they have switched our triple room to make easier for me so I don’t have to climb stairs within the booked original room.

    I like having a pot of coffee and hot milk instead of having to ask for a cup, but that is a minor point

    Excellent choice of foods, pleasant staff. Really liked that it was till noon at the weekend

    The hotel is located very close to the Basel train station with easy access to local trams and buses. The full breakfast was amazing. The room and beds were very comfortable. We are looking forward to staying there again at the end of our trip.

    A Great Place to Stay in the Centre of Basel
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • SMART Double Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    I wished there were more pillows provided for neck support. However, I was still able to sleep very well and woke up feeling rested during my entire four night stay. There was some renovation work so it was a bit challenging to find the entrance on arrival.

    The hotel is very centrally located right across from the main Basel Train Station. Although the hotel is located in the centre of Basel, my room was quiet and I was able to sleep well. The hotel had lots of character and style. Staff were very friendly and helpful and attentive. I loved the refreshments that were available for guests in the lobby and also that the mini bar was included in the room. I also enjoyed the selection at breakfast.

    Ideal spot for a visit of several days in Basel.

    Rooms were very small but adequate and well thought out.

    Breakfast was very good and the slight variations daily on offerings were welcome. All of the staff were outstanding from the front desk to the breakfast staff and beyond. The location is unbeatable, directly across the street from the entrance to the train station and right at the hub of the tram system. It was also unexpectedly quiet, given the location. Also, the whole theme of environmental friendliness suited our values and they really "walked the talk" on that aspect of managing the property.

    Although the breakfast buffet was self service, coffee was served by staff, effectively limiting how much you could get.

    it was a very clean and beautiful hotel near the train station and old city. it was very convenient for our short stay in Basel after a river cruise on the Rhein .The bathroom had a great shower and large towels . The staff were very friendly and professional,they even let us check early at 09:30 am when we arrived from our cruise without us even asking for that ,we were hoping to be able to store our luggage to tour.
