Lovely hotel In a wonderful location

A really good stay. The station is in a really good location near the station and a minute walk from the tram. Staff were really friendly and everything was neat and comfortable.

Basel 3 night stay

Stayed for 3 nights as a city break. Location is ideal next to train station making it easy to walk everywhere/jump in public transport. Hotel was clean with good room sizes. When we arrived reception was unmanned with only an automated machine to check in (which felt very impersonal & made thing feel more painful than needed for "weary travellers who'd just arrived in the country"). Room temperature was our main issue as it fluctuated up and down wildly making sleeping difficult - and this was centrally controlled with no option to adjust heat within our room (and nothing reception could do). Breakfast selection and quality was acceptable.

Hiltje, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Self check-in can be a bit fiddly but everything else is very decent and close to Basel SBB station (where a basement level supermarket is). Staff from adjacent (associated) hotels would help you if needed. Comfortable bed, big screen & complementary espresso machine. Happy to stay again.

Quick stopover

Perfect for our 1 night stop over in Basel
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very pleasant stay

A lovely hotel - we made several minor requests of reception staff and they were fulfilled cheerfully and promptly. Room was clean and comfortable and the hotel is very near the railway station and other transport links.
Peter, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Even though it was close to the train station and main bus stops (making it super easy to get to where we wanted to explore), the room was quiet and spacious. Highly recommend!
Unja, 2-night trip

Easy to find from the train station. Staff efficient but not really friendly As described

Sylvie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is in an excellent location and the rooms are reasonable and clean. No reception service between certain hours and you are directed to the larger sister hotel around the corner. Breakfast was adequate but service was slightly lacking.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The continental breakfast buffet was excellent! Unlimited cappuccinos (or any other coffee you would like), meuselli with fresh berries, lovely fresh bread, eggs, bacon, cold cuts, cheeses, fresh fruit - everything you could desire.
Corinne, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Needed a place to stay for one night after a flight and this hotel was perfectly placed. Easy assess late at night with clear info on check in process. Room clean and beds comfy. Fit the bill. Recommended.

Very clean. Great location near the train station and bus to the airport, plus excellent public transportation for getting around the city. The staff was super nice and helpful. I would definitely stay again.
Zicky, 1-night trip

Arrived early morning, luggage storage was not an issue, recieved our Basel city pass which we were able to use straight away. Very helpful staff. Great location from Train station.
Phillip, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good location

Automated check-in works, but there are also friendly staff. Rooms are comfortable, and the price/quality ratio is good. Breakfast is pretty basic and pre-cutting the loaves means they can be a little stale
David, 1-night trip

Great stay!

We loved the helpfulness of the staff. They were very helpful!!
Christine, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel close to the train station. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Friendly helpful staff. Enjoyed our stay. Only downside was I wanted twin beds which I thought was guaranteed and not a request.

Good stay
Simon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent Stay

To check in we had to go to the connected hotel around the corner but after that the location near the station and not too far from the old town was excellent. The service that we received from the staff was excellent. The room was large and well appointed. The continental breakfast was better than average.
