G.J., 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Brilliant location by the river with food options onsite, and nearby transport options. Lots of character a little noisy at night due to being above bars on riverside. Must be one of the best places to stay in Basel.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

La struttura si trova in una posizione strategica, facile da raggiungere e ben servita, oltre che i trasporti efficienti e sempre in perfetto orario, sono presenti supermercati e negozi. Lungo il fiume vi sono vari locali, affollati durante il tramonto. La struttura è molto carina, stanza spaziosa e luminosa. In struttura vi erano inoltre varie persone che parlavano italiano e la colazione insulsa era buona. Lo staff è molto cordiale ed efficiente.

Great Location Staff and Breakfast

Great Location, Great service and Breakfast. Hotel is old but very clean. It was comfortable but was a bit noisy due to all the trams running by. We did sleep pretty well anyway :-) Very walkable to old town :-)

Jean, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Personal ist super freundlich und höflich, auch sehr hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist zentral, daher freitag abends ist etwas laut. Charmante Altbau, daher der Boden quietscht auch sehr unangenehm, ich habe mich so gefürchtet, ich störe die Gäste unten.
Hwee Chong, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

When we arrived the area was not well lit. One night we were locked out and had to go into a bar and ask for help getting in. They were helpful to get us into our room.
Angie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Mit Charme und schön gelegen

Das sehr individuelle, charmante Hotel ist wunderbar in der Altstadt und direkt am Rhein gelegen, und vom badischen Bahnhof direkt mit der Straßenbahn erreichbar. Da mir bei Ankunft gleich die Baselcard überreicht wurde, konnte ich mit Straßenbahnen und Bussen alle Ziele in der Stadt erreichen, ohne mich um Tickets und Tarifringe kümmern zu müssen. Zwar gingen die Fenster meines Zimmers auf einen Innenhof, das wusste ich aber bei der Buchung und wurde durch die gelungene Gestaltung und den Topzustand des Zimmers voll aufgewogen.

The location was excellent in all respects. There was neighborhood noise on the street side from bars and restaurants and construction. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Exceptional place!

When we checked in to our rooms, we were not happy that we were put in an inside room with a view of the elevator, we had booked canal view. We were immediately moved to the rooms we booked and had a wonderful stay!

Great central location. Clean and well kept. Old building is well maintained and has a nice rustic vibe. River view makes for a great atmosphere, but adds a bit of noise, which we enjoyed, but some may not.
