Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is in an excellent location for travel in and out of Basel Bahnhof, and walking around central Basel. Service and the buffet breakfast are both very good. I had a cosy single room with thick window glazing to block most noise from the street below. I did not experience internal noise from other guests and slept well. The choice of eating options at the hotel and in it’s immediate vicinity is limited but there are great cafes and restaurants a short tram ride or a 10 minute away.

Amazing location
This is a very centrally located hotel in Basel, adjacent to the SBB train station and across the street from a variety of city trams. This makes getting to anyplace in the area very easy. The hotel was comfortable, had a good breakfast, and was clean. The bathrooms are large relative to the room. My only complaint was the pillows--would be nice to have something that had shape. But al in all, I would definitely stay here again.
