Comfortable hotel for business or leisure in Basel

Convenient location with access to the river and city centre. Comfortable rooms and the best breakfast with a quiet shady patio area. Very friendly staff. The rooms do not have air conditioning which is only an issue when temperatures are very high, which is not often. I have stayed here several times and will return again.

The hotel is in an excellent location and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Only minor criticism is there is no AC, but the windows open wide and the room was supplied with a large fan so not a major gripe. Overall a wonderful stay.

THE BEST HOTEL

This hotel is possibly THE BEST HOTEL I have ever stayed in. Myself and colleagues were there for a couple of nights and all commented on the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, the delicious breakfast (especially the pastries) and the nice additional touches (a games room, use of umbrellas, well-stocked complimentary mini bar ...) I will always now use this hotel for our trips to Basel.

A lovely stay in Basel.

My husband and I had a 3 night stay with another couple. The rooms were very pleasant, although they were very warm. The breakfast was delicious, with both hot and cold food and a very good variety of choice. The breakfast staff were delightful and very helpful, as were the reception staff. It is easy to get into town over the river on the tram.

- right next to a tram spot - super clean rooms and nice bathroom - all staff we dealt with were wonderful - free mini bar! (One beer, two cokes, two waters) Only downfall was the room was SO hot! It was 0 degrees mostly when we were there but had to sleep with the door open as it was too hot / stuffy. Otherwise, I really recommend and thank all of the staff! :)

Great for a weekend in Basel

Very elegantly renovated hotel in great area of Basel. Nice simple breakfast with free choice of eggs. Only coffee from machine, not from espresso machine. Also, every floor have a coffee /tea/water machine with real water glasses, but why are coffee cups in cartons? And not real cups? Is this the most sustainable solution? Reception was a bit arrogant depending on person, but overall nice and the buildings/interior is so great!!
