The room was spotless and very chic. Its small, so not a lot of room for big luggage. The location was perfect for traveling by train because it's one bus stop away from the train station. Down a few stairs and you're in the charming streets of Basel. I would stay here again!

Nice hotel - shame about the construction work.

Lovely staff - really welcoming, and offered sweets which my daughter loved! Great location with bus stop almost right outside. Clean room, comfortable bed. Surprising inclusion of a gramophone and records. Unfortunately there was construction work going on right next to our room which no-one mentioned. The drilling was limited but very annoying, and I was shocked that we were not prewarned at check-in or before.

So easy to get to from the airport. #30 bus stopped right outside of the hotel to take us to our ridership. Staff was very friendly. The hotel was a 5 minute walk to the Christmas markets, dining and shopping. Wood stay there again!
