Lovely hotel In a wonderful location
A really good stay. The station is in a really good location near the station and a minute walk from the tram. Staff were really friendly and everything was neat and comfortable.

A very pleasant stay
A lovely hotel - we made several minor requests of reception staff and they were fulfilled cheerfully and promptly. Room was clean and comfortable and the hotel is very near the railway station and other transport links.
Peter, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good location
Automated check-in works, but there are also friendly staff. Rooms are comfortable, and the price/quality ratio is good. Breakfast is pretty basic and pre-cutting the loaves means they can be a little stale
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Even though it was close to the train station and main bus stops (making it super easy to get to where we wanted to explore), the room was quiet and spacious. Highly recommend!

Quick stopover
Perfect for our 1 night stop over in Basel

The continental breakfast buffet was excellent! Unlimited cappuccinos (or any other coffee you would like), meuselli with fresh berries, lovely fresh bread, eggs, bacon, cold cuts, cheeses, fresh fruit - everything you could desire.
Corinne, 4-night trip

Very clean. Great location near the train station and bus to the airport, plus excellent public transportation for getting around the city. The staff was super nice and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Arrived early morning, luggage storage was not an issue, recieved our Basel city pass which we were able to use straight away. Very helpful staff. Great location from Train station.

really well hotel and nice staff. The position, near the central station, is very easy for every address in the city. I appreciated the late check out offered by the hotel. I'll suggest the hotel to my relatives and friends. Thanks for the kindness WS

Excellent Stay
To check in we had to go to the connected hotel around the corner but after that the location near the station and not too far from the old town was excellent. The service that we received from the staff was excellent. The room was large and well appointed. The continental breakfast was better than average.
Allan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice clean hotel right through. Nice size room. Lovely shower. Friendly efficient staff. Centre of Basel, but very quiet. 5 minute walk to railway station, and 5 minute walk from airport bus drop off. Definitely stay again.

Lovely hotel close to the train station. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Friendly helpful staff. Enjoyed our stay. Only downside was I wanted twin beds which I thought was guaranteed and not a request.

Good hotel
We stayed for one night and had a very pleasant stay. Easy to check in and very nice room. Breakfast was also alright.

Located opposite the main train station with buses to the airport, and easy access to the city center, this cozy hotel is perfect. Large rooms, clean, with comfortable beds and very quiet. Restaurants and coffee shops nearby. I highly recommend

It is hard to imagine a more convenient location, with the train station just around the corner, and major attractions just a few stops away on Basel’s excellent tram network. The BaselCard you receive upon check-in means you travel for free anywhere you please on city transport.

This is not a 4 star property; at best it's 2 stars. The elevator did not work so we had to haul the luggage up 2 floors. Room and reception area is sparse, with minimal staff on duty. Very good location close to the train station and trams to downtown are frequent.

8/10 Very good

Not excellent but not terrible either
Overall a comfortable stay with large, comfortable, warm rooms. When we arrived there were no staff on reception despite advice that there would be until 10:30 so we had to go to the hotel next door to check-in. Unfortunately, because there are no staff at night, smokers congregate in the canopied entrance with the doors constantly opening and thus all the communal areas stank of cigarettes. This did dissipate by the following day but it wasn’t a great arrival especially as the smokers made little effort to move as we tried to lug our suitcases through them up the staircase.
