Lovely staff - really welcoming, and offered sweets which my daughter loved! Great location with bus stop almost right outside. Clean room, comfortable bed. Surprising inclusion of a gramophone and records. Unfortunately there was construction work going on right next to our room which no-one mentioned. The drilling was limited but very annoying, and I was shocked that we were not prewarned at check-in or before.

We really enjoyed our stay - located very close to the train station (where the airport bus also stops), and old town so super convenient. Very quiet despite being close to a road. Super friendly and helpful reception (providing maps of the city, Basel card, tips for getting around the city easily and onwards travel) and a very clean and comfortable stay for a good price. I would stay here again for sure

So easy to get to from the airport. #30 bus stopped right outside of the hotel to take us to our ridership. Staff was very friendly. The hotel was a 5 minute walk to the Christmas markets, dining and shopping. Wood stay there again!

Quite near to central station and old center of the town.
The staff was very friendly and informative about what to do in the town.
The interior is a bit aged and the bathroom was small but very OK for the price.

The hotel staff, especially Elmira, was very helpful, professional and friendly.
Her reception made me feel very welcomed. The stay was very pleasant and the hotel itself very clean and comfortable.
I would recommend this hotel to any frequent travellers and would definitely stay again if visiting Basel.

We loved the hospitality at this hotel. We were warmly greeted, and well taken care of during our two nights stay.
The room was comfortable and clean and the breakfast amazing. The little garden outside of the breakfast area, was a delightful surprise. Would highly recommend this hotel.
