Such a lovely place.

Great location. Close to both the station and the old town. Hotel issued the Basel Card which was great for getting around on public transport. Super friendly staff and a lovely garden to enjoy breakfast in.

The room was spotless and very chic. Its small, so not a lot of room for big luggage. The location was perfect for traveling by train because it's one bus stop away from the train station. Down a few stairs and you're in the charming streets of Basel. I would stay here again!

Sehr schönes Hotel in schöner, bahnhofsnaher Lage ! Zimmerspezifisch: Schlafsofa war etwas durchgelegen, das innenliegende Bad wies zeitweise Geruch aus dem Abfluss auf und irgendein elektrisches Gerät/Schalter sendet ununterbrochen einen hochfrequenten Ton der nicht abzustellen war

We enjoyed our one night stay in this hotel. The front desk lady was super nice and let us check in before 3:00pm. She gave us Basel Card and explained how to benefit from it. It saved us a lot of money for public transportation and museums. The room was very clean. The only thing that we think could improve is the outlets by the bed. If they could put one outlet on each side of the bed, that'll be more convenient. Overall, it's a nice hotel that we would recommend to anyone visiting Basel.
