Best hotel ever

Best hotel experience I've had in my life. And I'm 54 years old so I've been in a lot of hotels. It's not just that the hotel itself is incredible, the staff went above and beyond my expectations every day. If I return to Basel I will definitely stay at this hotel and not even look for another one
Rebecca, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very warm, but the staff provided us with summer blanket and a fan which truly helped get us through the night. The staff was very helpful with directions to tram, restaurants provided a dry bag for floating down the river ride, which was exceptionally fun

Overnight stay in Basel

Stayed for one night after a river cruise on the Rhine. Helpful friendly staff on reception, comfortable room. Had a roof top terrace with lovely views where you could drink your own wine or purchase from the restaurant.

The location was great! The staff were friendly and accomodating. Very nice hotel! We overslept since we'd had a huge travel day, and although we were late checking out, the staff were very understanding and didn't charge us extra.

My superior room was great with lots of bench and storage space and located very closely to the Old Town. I'll stay there again.
Sue, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was very nice, located in central Basel. The only downside was that it, apparently like other recently renovated hotels, did not have air conditioning (and it was unseasonably hot in Basel.
