AL
The hotel is quite old, and its overall appearance is not well maintained. The shower was not properly cleaned, and there were visible signs of mold and bacteria.
Stephen
The hotel is central and accessible in a quiet neighbourhood. The room was basically clean and functional. Staff were helpful but not always available. The Indian restaurant smells pervaded the spaces. Overall, the hotel is in dire need of refurbishment.

Very Disappointing Stay
The hotel building is very old and poorly maintained. The reception staff were unprofessional and unfriendly when speaking with tourists. The mattress was extremely soft — after sleeping on it, it felt like a hole had formed, and I woke up with back pain.
The entire building had a strong garlic smell, which was unpleasant. There was no extra toilet paper in the room, even though we were four people staying there. When I asked reception for more, they told me, “This is enough for you, you don’t need more,” which I found rude and unacceptable.
Overall, I would not recommend this hotel.

This property might be an option for those on extreme budget, but in general I would not recommend.
The room does not have AC. Opening the windows in our case meant taking it off the hinge and laying it open. Minimal fan.
Open windows also meant exposure to traffic noise - this property is on a tram route - as well as insects.
Water in shower drain backed up.
TV remote batteries were corroded in place.
We tried to cancel after one night of a two night reservation. Owner would not refund second night....
Recommend to avoid and I am a bit surprised it is listed on the Orbitz site.....

Nice staff. Quiet room. Room would be perfect if it was 80 years ago Breakfast so-so
Annette
it was close to the marktplatz, where we got trams and buses to get to places. There was no bar though! I'd stay there again b/c of the location
Emile
Old but clean
Not bad accommodation. Conveniently located close to old town. Pillows were awful and main desk was unable find more because the service person had the day off. Also locked us out at 8pm. Had to ring offsite number to get a pin. Lucky we had phone service on holiday sim. All and all not bad but hard to recommend
Steven
Good stay in Basel
Great stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location to old town and reasonably convenient parking.
ROBERT
The hotel is easy access by bus or tram, so look it up before you arrive. Walking with Google map to hotel is a bad choice. The staff is great, the restraunt is good, the breakfast is ok, the room was good, but the bed was creaky and just ok.
MUSTAFA
Location is ok
John
Efficient check in. Room was nice and large with comfortable beds. The bathroom was very typical of European hotels.
Area is great and close to “Old Town” where one may enjoy restaurants, bakeries and bars.
We were given free tram/bus ride tickets for the duration of our stay.

Basel a great place to stay
Great location, parking off site but limited and a 3 minute walk. Not a lot of parking elsewhere for long term. Excellent location great walks in to town. Restaurants and shops everywhere.
Bruce
It was clean and convenient to the train station.
Mark
Excellent location to tour this beautiful and historic city. Free transit pass given to all guests. Bus and tram service in Basel is outstanding.
David
Nice place, good value.
Nice hotel, well situated on the edge of the Old Town. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable and the bedding very fresh. Given the prices of everything else in Basel, this hotel was fantastic value. It’s basic, but nice.
There’s a tram stop just outside which makes getting around really easy.

The hotel is located in an attractive spot with a tram nearby. Unfortunately, the property is extremely dated and smells quite musty. The carpeting in the room was very stained and rippled. The bed was comfortable. Would not recommend.
Michael
Comfortable, friendly and close to everything
Was in Basel for work. Great location. Easy to walk to everything or take tram 3 right outside the entrance to almost anywhere. Staff were super nice and friendly. We arrived at 9am hoping to simply store our bags until afternoon check in. But rooms were already available so they let us check in! This was highly welcoming after a long travel day. I will stay here again next time I’m in Basel.
Ezio
looks not so fancy but nice rooms and good price
It is an honest three star hotel, looby looks rather gloomy but rooms and very nice and clean (and spaciuos) Definitely worth the price. Very good location.
