Stayed here for a conference at the Messe. Check-in was very efficient. Jasminka was really knowledgeable and helpful throughout the stay. She explained the travel routes, trams, buses all in detail. Answered all the questions that we had. The other male receptionist was also really helpful asking about our stay. The room was clean and really quiet. Very roomy and bathroom equipped with all the essential toiletries. Hotel just 1 min from the Bus to the Basel SBB main train station. Highly suggest to have a day trip to Colmar, Lucerne, and the Outlet Mall in Germany border. Highly recommended. A short walk down the steps will be the Toy Museum and the main tram station to the city and river. 10 min walk to the old town and main shopping areas.

Nice property, good sized room
Clean, fresh looking property in Basel. Nice sized room, especially by European standards. Very nice fitness facility. We did not upgrade to breakfast so cannot comment on food, but plenty of good places to eat in walking distance. Close to tram stop and Basel SBB train station (10-15 minute walk). 15 minutes to city hall/Rhine river by foot. Close to museums as well.

The old town of Basel was right behind the hotel. Easy to walk around and the hotel also gives you a free 24 hour transit pass. We walked 20 minutes to get to the river and took a tram back. We booked a standard room which was very nice and a good size. Everything was very clean. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We asked for a kettle and one was quickly provided. Would highly recommend this hotel.
