"Hotel was clean, close to shops and restaurants, and the staff was very helpful, especially Alex. The breakfast had a great selection of cold items and even scrambled eggs for our friend. We’re happy to be returning for another two nights prior to our Viking Cruise."
"Really nice place to use as a base. Location is perfect for exploring Basel. Facilities were clean and perfectly functional for our needs.
The breakfast was ample, with a good variety of fresh food and drinks. There is a bit of a walk from reception to the room but not excessive and does involve a couple of flights of stairs. Breakfast is on the 8th floor which you can get to by lift. From here you have lovely views over the city.
The staff were always helpful when we had questions. Would...
"The lady at the desk with the short blond hair and glasses in her late thirties / 40's was very cold and not helpful. We felt we were an inconvenience to her. Had to pay for water and coffee in the morning."
"Convenient location next to tram station. The air conditioning and the free coffee were very much appreciated. The staff were helpful and friendly. Small room, but it was clean and quiet."

"We scheduled an extra day to spend some time in the area. We were able to use the free local bus system that stopped right across the street from the hotel."
"Don't stay here while hotel is under construction - safety issue.
First, the in-room mini-fridge was broken—the front desk failed to mention at check-in. If we were notified, we wouldn't buy groceries. Because the hotel was under construction, they had to take our groceries to a sister property three blocks away to keep them cold. When we were ready to pick up our groceries the next day, we were told we had to walk over and retrieve them ourselves, which we were not aware..
The biggest issue,...
"Quick overnight before an early flight out of BSL. Front desk was friendly and helped schedule our ride for the morning. Free airport shuttle was on time and honestly a blessing. Room was small but served its purpose and was comfortable."
