My wife and I stayed at this hotel early December as part of a break to visit the Christmas Markets - exemplary customer service at all times, thoughtful and supportive staff, lovely/well equipped room, very clean and comfortable. Lovely location with only a short walk to the centre (trams and buses stop outside the hotel if you do not wish to walk the short distance). After many years of business travel and many stays around the world, the service at this hotel was nothing less than exceptional. Our thanks to the dedicated staff and their exemplary customer focus and making our stay an absolute pleasure.

The staff here are so polite and nice and the room we had was lovely. The hotel is conveniently located just outside the old town, and one can walk to the cathedral in under 15 minutes. One perk that we didn't get to utilize was the free tram/bus tickets that are included with the hotel price. If you plan on exploring Basel, this is a great feature. Overall we loved the hotel; we really had no complaints and would easily stay there again in the future.

Close to local bars / restaurants, access to transport links. Large, spacious rooms, small bathroom, no air conditioning, warm at night. Opened the windows but noisy street below, traffic until the early hours. Good breakfast buffet, plenty of choice but some items cold (hash browns) omelette not always available.
