The front desk lady was friendly and extremely helpful, which made our stay that much easier. This was much appreciated. Our room was clean and comfortable, with good facilities. The breakfast was great. This property was well positioned for us, and well serviced by trams, making travel around the city quite convenient. The Basel visitor card, from our hotel, enabled free public transport travel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Comfortable bed, cool air-conditioning, good wifi, simple but good breakfasts, helpful staff. The one problem was the automatic late check-in. I found the instructions difficult to follow, but a manager answered the phone quickly and let me in. However, that didn't detract from an excellent stay. The hotel was everything I wanted it to be, and more.

Skuffende ophold

Grundlæggende så synes jeg egentlig det er var okay. Men jeg synes der er noget du selv kunne gøre bedre. Altså jeg synes indsætningen var en katastrofe fordi receptionen var lukket og folk har svært ved at gå ind på deres værelser fordi den der til genstand den ikke rigtig fungerede. Derfor så synes jeg at den trak meget ned og så sendte og så var der heller ikke rengøring om søndagen selvom jeg har sendt mit skilt på døren. Jeg er på vej lidt skuffet over det og morgenmaden var heller ikke imponerende.
