This was our second time staying at this hotel and we were looking forward to staying here again with our parents but was a little disappointed. The pillows were terrible. So flat they should be considered as blankets. We asked for more pillows and was told there’s 1 extra pillow in the room. Still not enough. So we asked for 2 more for each room and was only given 1. Staff were not as friendly as well. Breakfast was disappointing as well. They always ran out of eggs and sausages and took forever to refill.

Wonderful hotel in Basel.
Fantastic location, one block from train station. Two blocks from Hertz to drop off the car. The local street car was out front and a quick 2 stops to the Christmas market. Staff was kind and knowledgeable! There is a bar on lobby floor to play games on large table. A big five star experience!

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.

Great little hotel near Basel SBB. Close to the downtown. We only had the chance to stay one night before an early train ride. It worked perfectly. Very, very friendly and efficient check in. Rooms are very clean and well decorated.
