Great room and hotel location. The only downsides were the slim pillow and lack of street noise soundproofing. The breakfast while good and delicious, had no warm options. Overall though, would come back again!

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.
