Great Visit
We booked the room for a brief Basel visit after a Rhine River cruise. Upon check in, they gave us a Basel Card for discounts all over the city including free public transportation. They took the time to tell us where to go and what to see. Very engaging and helpful staff. The room was very comfortable and had all the amenities. We enjoyed refreshments in the garden and then adventured out.

Simple, clean and functional. A bit far from the main attractions but spacious rooms and friendly staff, as well as free public transport & cheap Ubers make up for it.

10/10 Exceptional

My wife and I booked a one night stay at the end of a cruise from Amsterdam to Basel. We arrived at the hotel at 10 AM and were pleasantly surprised to find that our room was available for us. The hotel clerk was most helpful, providing us with passes for the local bus and tram system and directions on how to get to the meeting point for our walking tour. When I asked about how to get a cab to the airport, she offered to book one for us but pointed out that the bus trip was free and simple (it was!) and the bus stop was 100 yards from our hotel door. The room was clean, spacious and very nicely appointed. The hotel has an in-house bar but no restaurant, and in-house food options are limited. This was a total non-issue, as it is located a short, pleasant walk from many shops and restaurants and we were able to get a good feel of the city in the one day we were there. It may have been a little bit pricier than some other hotel options but given its proximity to some picturesque areas and the convenience of transport to BSL airport, it more than makes up for any price savings. Worth a look if you're planning a stay in Basel.
