Clean and lovely rooms although rooms are very small. We couldn’t lay on floor both suitcases. Hotel is down an alleyway which makes it very quiet in rooms but not ideal as far as an entranceway goes. Very convenient to a number of attractions and restaurants in Rome. Also a bus stops close that takes you straight to train station.

On the river, close to old town

Room comfy if not small. No aircon, but small fan was provided as it was quite warm late Sept. Great to have onsite parking, tho' it was very limited and we needed to jockey around for positions with the hotel manager to get a place to park. Very close to walk to 'old city', but the free Basel transit pass made it easy to travel around the city and get discounts on museum fees. We traveled out of the city to the Augustus Romanica roman ruins, a very worthwhile tripl

Disappointed

It was extremely warm in Basel and all there was to cool was a small oscillating fan! No A/C. There was a private event the first night and cleanup carried on into the early morning hours. No sleep at all. Asked to move but the hotel was full. Lovely view bit that’s it!

Very clean and comfortable room with a fabulous view of the river below. Beatrice at the front desk was very helpful with resolving a covid testing snafu before our flight home. We would have loved sitting outside on the patio restaurant, but it was not open on a Monday or Tuesday during our stay (October, 2021). Great location for getting around Basel.
