Noise AF. Didn’t sleep a second. The windows are right next to tram tracks and the trains run 24/7 every 5 minutes all night long. Zero soundproofing in windows.

We were so happy with our stay at this beautiful hotel in the heart of Basel's Old Town. It was within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to do, had very welcoming and helpful staff, and was so comfortable. I will definitely plan to stay here again on our next trip to the city.

This hotel is exceptional! I really loved my stay here. Our room was really clean and big. The location is conveniently located in the heart of the city. We were able to just walk to to the Christmas market locations in Münsterplatz and Barfusserplatz. The hotel staffs were really nice and very helpful. There is also a very good restaurant on the first level called Bohemia. I would definitely recommend this place.
