Couples first time in Basel
The hotel is in a very good location, very quiet surroundings. The service from the reception to the breakfast service is fantastic. The bed was a little uncomfortable and they need to renew the carpets in the hotel as well. The bathroom and room are super spacious. Fantastic breakfast. We went to the Christmas markets, and it was very convenient to walk.

We arrived early and appreciated storing our many pieces of luggage until our rooms were prepared. The location was great for both walking and going to a trolly stop. Would stay again.

Ideal location for exploring Basel
Loved the room size, could comfortably spread out and relax. Perfect location eith easy access to trams/buses and walking to just about everything. Quiet and peaceful too. Only complaint was how hard it was to keep the room cool in October without having to crack open the windows. Otherwise, we would have suffocated.

A small “old style” hotel, very conveniently located close to trams and city center.
Downside: small room (single room), with no coffee/tea in the room. Upside: very nice breakfast and impeccable service.

I didn't know I had to take 2 trams to get to the hotel. Changing the tram was bit challenging since this was my first time visiting the city.
The hotel is pretty old, and the room was quite away from the reception area. Had to take 2 elevators, walk a long hallways and stairs with my luggage. Floor made noise and the building was right next to the church which rang the bell for 10 minutes!
