The structure was clean and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was nice and freshly prepared, and there were lactose and gluten free options, too. I also had dinner at the hotel restaurant once, and found it not only fresh and delicious, but also fairly reasonably priced. Included in the price were also free transports and discounts on several museums and attractions—which made my stay easier. The location was great, because it was at a walkable distance from the centre, and the free transports made that distance even shorter.

Unfortunately, a few tramlines stopped right in front of the hotel, making it hard to sleep at night, similarly to the church bells, which would ring every half an hour all night through. Also, I found both the mattress and the pillow to be way too soft, and the remote control wasn’t working. Nothing that can’t be fixed, but it adds up to the stress of a business trip. I can’t say anything about communication, as I speak fluent German, however, I wasn’t even asked if preferred English or German, which seems to suggest non-German speaking guests might be disadvantaged.

This was an accidental discovery, but it worked out just fine. The best part is that they allow for late arrival, which many in Basel don't have any more. It's not exactly in the historical center proper but across the river. However, it takes 2-3 tram stops to go to the main attractions, and trams are frequent and run at night as well (or it can be a nice walk across the bridge in good weather). There is a direct tram to the train station (about 12-15 min) if you walk one block, or a tram to the center just across the hotel. A big Migros supermarket/dept store nearby that is open late by Swiss standards (8 pm), with large choice of food and other necessitieis. The room was better than expected. Furnished simply but everything is well taken care of. Surprisingly comfortable bed, large TV with international channels, stable WIFI. They even had a fridge and a coffee maker. Spottlessly clean. I didn't have the time to try their restaurant, but it seemed popular with the locals and had tempting aromas at dinner time. Reasonable prices for Basel. Everyone was very professional and friendly. Next time I'm in Basel I'll try this hotel first.

Everything was fine.

LOCATION! The hotel has ideal location everything is within walkable distance, there are stores around and cafes as well. The room when entered was spotless clean, room cleaning was not that bad either. The room is definitely not soundproof, but if you plan to be out all day and just sleep at night, works perfectly well. Everything is silent after 11:00pm. The cleaning starts at 9:00am, so if you prefer to sleep till late hours maybe not best option. Staff very nice and helpful. Hotel provide Basel card which is simply life savor! FREE transport within Basel city and almost 50 % discount on all museums. Room not spacious, but enough for 1 person. Overally, recommended, especially considering the location and price, plus room amenities was not bad as well.

Would loved to have for breakfast something more than eggs and cheese. Very moderate breakfast, but bearable :D

Helpful & friendly staff. Very good value at £72 per night for my 4 night stay. Solo traveler upgraded to twin room: Comfortable, modern and spacious with all the facilities I required. Safe & secure; Good location - a 5/6 minute walk to the bridge leading to the Old Town and right next to supermarket & bus/tram stops. Guest receives a BaselCard - offering free bus & tram travel (useful as a 20-25 minute wall to the main train station) AND half price entry to museums & galleries - including the world renowned Kunstmuseum & Vitra Design Complex

Nothing

It is unusual for a hotel like this to have only two stars, I would definitely add one more star, meaning three stars at least! It seems that the hotel has been renovated because the rooms seem new, while the toilet is quite spacious. The staff was very friendly, they will help you answer all your questions. In addition, I had an early morning flight and wanted to just leave my luggage and go sightseeing right away, but I still managed to check in earlier. All praise for the hotel, especially since the ratio of price and quality is ideal, bearing in mind the Swiss high life standard.

I have no complaints, but perhaps air conditioning would be welcome - although it is not a requirement for me personally because I spend very little time in the room (I come just to take a shower and sleep).

Location in the city center, close to the tram stop and bus stop. Room with bathroom clean. Small coffee machine in the room and small fridge. Rooms small (8m2), but enough for a short stay. Received Basel City Card that allows me to use public transport free of charge.

Hotel has a restaurant at the ground floor and there is a kitchen that had a door opened to the stair case, which allowed all smells from this kitchen to go to hotel corridors. Walls thin - I heard neighbors quite well.

The room was incredible, very spacious with a sofa, a large desk and equipped with fridge, kettle and tea/coffee and chocolates, which was a nice touch. The location is good, only 10 minutes walk to the main square and with good connections with the station by tram.

We live in a quiet place and maybe that's why we felt that at night the traffic was too loud from the room. We understand that there's no much the hotel can do about it and we only stayed for one night.

The room was really good for the price in Switzerland. It had good privacy, a beautiful balcony and having a private washroom with this price is a really good thing. Overall, a good stay.

Usually, when I arrive a hotel earlier, they check the rooms and if there is a room available, they will check me in earlier. Or just simply say that there are no available room till the check in time. But this time, I arrived around 4-5 hours earlier as I had a night bus. The agent at the hotel asked me to pay a full night if I want to check in earlier, which was a really bad first impression.

No. 14 tram from railway station stops right at the door. I had advised that moring that I would arrive earlier than planned. Altho I arrived about 13.30 my room was available for me and the man on reception was very pleasant and helpful. All hotel guests in Basel are given a Baselcard which apart from discounts to sights give FREE travel on all trams and buses including to and from airport. Hotel restaurant had a good menu and 3 or 4 3 course set meal. The cheapest SF21.50 was excellent value for money. The breakfast choice was not vast but more than adequate. My single room was small but very clean and comfortable.

Shower cublicle was small and when turning around I either pressed the tap off or the door opened. Hairdryer could have been better placed as it made leaning over the sink difficult.
