We were upgraded, which was quite a nice surprise. Check in was very easy, reception was very friendly. Room was large, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Location was also very convenient to the train station but also shopping areas. Breakfast was the only criticism- the food was fresh but for the price, I would have appreciated a few more warm options.

Modern and Trendy

A lovely modern hotel in the heart of Basel. The room was large with lots of nice touches such as a free minibar. Despite being near a number of bars and clubs we found the soundproofing excellent.

We enjoyed our stay here very much, the location is very central to the train station and trams, as well as easily walkable to main tourist attractions. The hotel is on a bustling street with late night bars. The breakfast buffet is provided with fee, but it was very delicious.

Great hotel; very odd location

The interiors and room quality is excellent. However the hotel is in a shopping and restaurant centre so it feels very odd and there is a great deal of external noise. Our very large window looks out on to a service yard... That said the location in town is good, so fine for a one night stopover.

Lovely hotel in centre of Basel. Nice staff, nice breakfast (extra) and free mini bar (not re stocked during stay which was a shame). Only irritation - very noisy of a weekend as hotel is right on Main Street on top of bars. Woke on Saturday night / Sunday morning by a brawl outside window. To be fair hotel make you aware of risk of noise - but only after you have booked it. Nice place tho and very pleasant rooms and very comfortable with pleasant open plan design.
