One of worst hotel
The room for the 3 nights was like a furnace. Even with the fan going, the rooms remained super hot for the entire period. There was no coffee facilities in the room especially needed at night. Though you could obtain free coffee and tea, this was in the lobby which was not a private space. Nowhere in the room were you informed if the water in the tap was drinking water. Especially needed when the room was so hot and no bottled water was provided. Room service was non existent. I came with a bigger party. But I will not be staying here again

A lovely stay in Basel.
My husband and I had a 3 night stay with another couple. The rooms were very pleasant, although they were very warm. The breakfast was delicious, with both hot and cold food and a very good variety of choice. The breakfast staff were delightful and very helpful, as were the reception staff. It is easy to get into town over the river on the tram.

THE BEST HOTEL
This hotel is possibly THE BEST HOTEL I have ever stayed in. Myself and colleagues were there for a couple of nights and all commented on the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, the delicious breakfast (especially the pastries) and the nice additional touches (a games room, use of umbrellas, well-stocked complimentary mini bar ...) I will always now use this hotel for our trips to Basel.

The hotel is in an excellent location and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Only minor criticism is there is no AC, but the windows open wide and the room was supplied with a large fan so not a major gripe. Overall a wonderful stay.
