8/10 Very good

Great stay.

Everything was great. Just didn’t realize how close to the train station it was. Very convenient but noisy.

Big nice room!
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is nice and the location was excellent- close to the station and transport hub. The room was clean and large for a single, but the layout was oddly claustrophobic with the bed squeezed up against the wall despite having plenty of room for a better layout. Also the bed was quite uncomfortable, so I didn’t really get much sleep here. I’m sure in a different layout room the hotel would be a great choice.
Jane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel in excellent location

Excellent location / friendly staff / good room / older hotel but well maintained / comfortable bed / included a ticket for public transport during the stay which i think is a great idea / we had a room towards the front therefore it was a bit noisy from the Trams in front of the hotel but that did not bother us.

Claire, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay. Only one minor issue — the AC did not provide quite enough cooling. The staff provided a floor fan which met our needs. Would definitely stay here again.
Kevin, 1-night trip

Great location next to bus station easy to catch way into town area was clean and safe
Brandon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel. Great location by the train station. If you're looking for something in the city center, this might not be the hotel for you - but as a someone pass through and stopping in Basel for a night, it was perfect. Affordable for Switzerland. Very large rooms. We were there during a heatwave and not only was the AC great, but the hotel had ice and water. Very good internet (I had some work video calls and was a little nervous after traveling to some other hotels around Europe). Would 100% stay there again. Felt like it was a great find.

wonderful staff that addressed all of questions being out of towners. So great to be so close to the train and bus stations and was given free access to the public transportation. Loved this hotel!
Dirk, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very conveniently located across from the train station and local metro trains and buses. Staff was welcoming. Rooms was roomy and clean. Televisions are not ‘smart’, can’t stream. Cleaning staff was not through for daily cleanings, left dirty glasses and didn’t refill hand wash.
Kelly, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place to spend for a city trip. Well located to public transportation and in walking distance to almost all cultural attractions. Ideal to go to the Morgenstraich!

Nino, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in an excellent location for travel in and out of Basel Bahnhof, and walking around central Basel. Service and the buffet breakfast are both very good. I had a cosy single room with thick window glazing to block most noise from the street below. I did not experience internal noise from other guests and slept well. The choice of eating options at the hotel and in it’s immediate vicinity is limited but there are great cafes and restaurants a short tram ride or a 10 minute away.
Malcolm, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The only drawback is that there is no refrigerator.
NAOKI, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful hotel that was very clean and excellent staff. All of the front desk staff spoke English well. The room was very comfortable and well designed. We loved its location next to the train station and with lots of trams right outside the front door. Transportation on the city trams is free for hotel guests and the staff helped us make good use of it. The location is excellent, quite near the old town. In fact, it is only two tram stops from old town. Even though the hotel was right next to major transportation hubs, it was very quiet inside. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.
