The hotel is very well located for a few days in Basel. We took a day trip by rail to Lucerne and the hotel location was perfect for this reason. Also, the Old Town of Basel is a short walk. The close proximity to the train station was a bonus, but you must expect a little low level noise from the train and buses nearby. This didn't bother us. The breakfast was really good and the wait staff serving were excellent.

We stayed in 15 hotels while in Europe. This was absolutely the finest, while at the same time being the least expensive. A classic hotel that has been completely upgraded. The room was twice the size of other places we paid far more. Simply amazing!

What a pleasant surprise. The location of the property is perfect to catch a Tram to anywhere in Basel and right across from the train station to travel to other cities in Switzerland. The breakfast is delightful in a beautiful traditional Bavarian style room. We would stay here again if we returned to Basel.

WOW! Did not expect it but the reviews were accurate, this is a great hotel at a great price! We arrived in Basel a few days before our River Cruise. Had regular double room. The frig was stocked w/lemonade, apple juice beer and water, ALL COMPLIMENTARY! It was 92 degrees and the room was so nice and cool! Bed VERY comfy, and you get a scan code at checkin for half off on all museums and free trams (buses) which is super convenient considering the main station is steps from the hotel! Great city, old town is great, River has many nice restaurants. When we checked out and sat for a bit to kill time, we received cappuccinos and bottled water. Btw- PREPAY for BREAKFAST! It is SO worth it! Selection and service so good…(fresh squeezed juice, cheeses, eggs,….
