Reviews and Ratings
I had a cozy stay with a river view in a comfortable room, although it was on the smaller side for a four-star hotel. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, but I wished the price reflected the room size better. The location was very convenient with easy access to public transportation and the old town area.
The hotel is wonderfully located, right in the city center, with spacious and quiet rooms that even have air conditioning, making it a rare and delightful find in Switzerland. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and offering useful transportation tips. The location was unbeatable, close to the river, old town, and fantastic dining options. However, the dining experience is a bit overpriced for the offerings, but the buffet breakfast makes up for it. Overall, a great value for the price.
The hotel is situated in a central location, right by the river and a few minutes' walk from the market square, making it perfect for exploring Basel. The rooms are nicely furnished, spacious, and impeccably clean, although they tend to be on the smaller side compared to standard sizes. The service was accommodating, with staff like Sabrina, Sandra, Cécile, Stephanie, and Andrea being very professional and always willing to assist. While the dining offerings were varied, the space was limited, potentially leading to overcrowding during peak times. Overall, a convenient place for a stay with some room for improvement in dining arrangements.
The hotel's rooms were gorgeous, perfect for couples seeking a quiet stay, though on the smaller side compared to other places. The heavy doors can be a bit noisy when closing. The service was exceptional with staff going above and beyond to assist in a very polite and helpful manner. The location was ideal, convenient for Viking cruise embarkations and easy access to the tram station and city attractions. The dining experience was average, with some disappointing aspects but also overpriced items. Overall, a great location but might lack in some essential areas.
Our stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The room I had was super small on the ground floor, but the early morning view made it worth it. However, the room lacked space for our bags, which was a bit inconvenient.
The hotel room was a bit small, but it worked well for the two of us. It was a little noisy, but nothing that bothered us too much. The view was just like the picture, and surprisingly being on the top floor didn't cause any issues, which is unusual for Europe.
My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and had a modern washroom, with wonderful comfy beds and a lovely design of a small space. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, providing maps of the city's points of interest and free passes for the local trams. The location was great, just one easy tram ride from the train station, close to the center of the city, and with access to all public transport options. The dining experience was fresh and varied, offering a good selection of fresh and tasty options. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay.
The hotel is uniquely equipped with air conditioning, which was a pleasant surprise during the unexpected heat wave we encountered. The rooms had limited storage space but featured modern amenities like two TVs and electric blinds. The location was outstanding, offering easy access to various attractions and public transport. The dining options were limited to continental breakfast but of good quality. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
