Great stay! Highly recommend. Perfect neighbourhood - walkable to most sights plus great connections to public transport. On site restaurant is magnificent as well including a cute courtyard to enjoy in warmer days. The Junior Suite was very spacious and well designed.

Comfortable well situated hotel, suitable for short stays. Food quality was excellent, although somewhat pricey. Bed was comfortable and the shower very nice. Only complaint is that the hallways and rooms are decorated in dark colours and dimly lit.

This is a very attractive, modern hotel in a lovely older building. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. We appreciated the design and eco-friendly touches. The only downside was the room was very warm and the thermostat seemed unable to go below a set temperature. We had to open the windows to cool off. Otherwise, a really nice stay.

The staff are outstanding! So helpful, we forgot a converter to charge our phones and they loaned one to us, answered countless questions and gave us walking directions for everything. This is so centrally located to shopping, museums, and restaurants. Only wish we knew to make reservations at their restaurant when we booked the room - they were fully booked the one night we had open to visit. Book here, you won't regret it!

We had a brilliant stay. The location was great, only a little walk over the bridge to see the centre of town. The hotel was great, had a coffee and water station on our floor plus apples for snacks. Really enjoyed it.

Great hotel, beautiful rooms. Hotel bar is great. You can use the gym just 50m down the road. Great area of Basel to be in, easy to walk or get the tram/bus everywhere. The first two nights I was in a room facing the road that was extremely noisy, thankfully they moved me to a courtyard room which was much quieter.

The design and decoration of the rooms is unique and very well done. Everything gives a sense of quality, quiet luxury. The amenities are great and the staff was extremely helpful and available. I coudn't recommend the place more, in the heart of one of the most beautiful urban parts in Switzerland

Stayed 3 nights and would definitely return to this boutique hotel in great location. Excellent wifi, 24-hour access to unlimited nespresso coffee machines on each floor, and loved the cold sparkling water available at the coffee stations. Rooms vary in size, but smarttly laid out. Great service from front desk; grateful for the daily delivery (on request) of large bucket of ice.

The room was very cold. The shower and bath had no hitting at all. Floor was linoleum. No pot coffee or tea in room. Felt like student hotel, not 4 star

Rooms were very hot and if you are the street it is noisy with the window open. Out shower did not work properly and daily cleaning was a bit erratic.

Room was too warm, with ‘air conditioning’ only adjustable down to 21.1 degrees C. When this was queried with reception we were told it was local regulations, with no option of a fan offered. Location was very noisy, with social/restaurant area beneath two windows, and then a street where deliveries took place from about 5:30am beneath the other windows - so with windows open to try and control the temperature, sleep was limited due to the noise
