The staff were friendlier and more helpful than the norm.

While the rooms aren't large objectively, they make the most of their space. And it doesn't require a PhD to work out the lighting, A/C etc.

Some reviews say it is a 10mins walk from the train station.
There are 2 train stations and the international one, we came in from Strasbourg, is a 36mins walk!
Our mistake but worth noting.
The bus back ( which is free) stops outside the hotel.
A functional busy hotel with friendly efficient staff ideal for a 1 night stopover

Staff was fantastic - very friendly and helpful. The hotel room was pretty standard - bed was a little hard and shower was okay but the towels were terrible. The location was pretty far from the city center (christmas markets)so unless you're attending a meeting at the nearby convention center, you'd be better off booking something closer in.

The room was small, but clean. The room was also very noisy with the street noise. If you are a light sleeper upgrade to th4 courtyard rooms. I didn't know that until after i checked out. Staff was fine. The check in process was a bit long, but they offered us a free drink in the bar to make up for that

The hotel is very nice. The breakfast was very good with all kinds of options. The room was clean and well taken care of. It is a business hotel very close to the convention center, so it’s not the most luxurious. It worked out great for our needs.

Very nice hotel

The air conditioning didn’t seem to cool the room and we were quite hot which is why I can’t give it 5 stars. Didn’t sleep very well because of warmth in room. Every other aspect was great, location, staff, cleanliness.

Great stay for Vacation in Basel

This Hotel is Basel is a really good choice for people looking for an affordable and very nice hotel. The location for the hotel is also convenient for people using public transit also and made it very easy for me and wife to go places throughout the city which wa important to us. The cleanliness of the hotel was very nice along with customer service and amenities the hotel offers. I would recommend a stay here for anyone looking to stay in Basel!

Great hotel.

Our stay was perfect. Location is very good to access the city centre by foot or they will supply a free travel permit for the duration of your visit on all public transport.
When you come from the airport you don't need to buy a bus ticket to your hotel as your hotel reservation entitles you to free travel.
Over all great experience with and in the hotel. Will stay again.

A cozy hotel outside of the main city portion of Basel yet within walking distance to the public transportation that is frequently served throughout the city

The city tax paid to the hotel includes a Basel card that gives you unlimited access to public transportation as well as discounts on many museums.

Reasonably sized room with basic amenities including a mini fridge and a safe. Shampoo and body soap combo with no hair conditioner. A timed sun lamp to keep the person warm after coming out from the shower, there is no bathtub. The exhaust fan is strong so the washroom doesn't steam up

One big con would be the size of the blanket for the bed, it couldn't even cover the bed, and many times I woke up with a chill since my sleeping movement pushed the blankie away

Blocks away from convenient stores, and restaurants as well but the hours of operation are quite limited so better check the time before heading out

Would use again next time in Basel

Just a 10 minute walk to the Rhine with the city centre on the other side of the river, bus & tram stops just outside the hotel & easy free access from the airport with the hotel reservation and they provide a Basel card on check in, some small bars and food outlets nearby but the main activity is in the centre. Good breakfast at a reasonable price compared to other eateries in Basel (expensive city). If in Basel again I would use this hotel.

Good

The main reason for my score was because the bed and bedding wasn't very comfortable. Not the mattress, pillow, or comforter were very comfortable and had a strange set up.
The staff and food was great and its location is fairly convenient for venues like the convention center and for shopping/restaurants/entertainment close to the Rhine River.

Pleasant stay. The staff were most helpfull on all occaisions and went out of thier way consistantly. The only draw back , was the traffic noise. Our room was on the street side of the hotel and at various times the noise was significant. I would come back , but request a room away from the street

Ideal hotel for a 3 night break

Very comfortable 3 night stay. All the staff were exceptional! A very decent selection at breakfast Although the room was very modern with good a/c it was on the smallish side and had very little storage. The shower room was very modern, exceptionally clean The hotel was in an ideal location for us as it was situated 5 mls from the airport and about 1ml from the city centre. We were able to access the centre of Basel and St Jakobshalle using the extremely efficient tram service (the stop was very close to the hotel) We would definitely return to this hotel.

Đúng ra anh ta phải coi trước khi nói với khách như vậy. Nhân viên nữ phục vụ ở phòng ăn sáng không được niềm nở cho lắm,họ chỉ hỏi tôi số phòng trong khi những người khác không hỏi.

The location was excellent for the Messe. The rooms are basic but clean.

The staffing levels seemed poor & we had to wait for drinks more than once while staff went to exception. There was a heatwave while we were staying & it was disappointing that we only had complimentary water on one night of a four night stay.
