We had the premium room on the roof with a huge bathroom and bathtub. Room was always the right temperature with a big covered balcony. No minibar/fridge but had a coffee machine and hot water maker in the room Parking was a bit difficult but the staff went above and beyond to figure it out for us. Very close to all of downtown Basel. Small, very basic breakfast for 20cfh per person is not worth it but all in all very nice quiet hotel on the water. Once again, amazing staff.

Great smaller hotel right on the Rhine River in Basel with perfectly located within a short walk to the old town and many attractions. During our stay the annual Christmas market was just outside which was quite fun but did make accessing the hotel require a block or two walk with our luggage. We enjoyed a penthouse suite which didn't have much of a view but was spacious, clean and very quiet for a restful night's sleep. We'd certainly consider a return visit.

Not sure how it is 4 stars
The room was not clean at all. Dust in many places, a lot of hair in the bathroom. There is no fridge, kettle, coffee maker in the room. Instead, they were very proud of their shared facilities and explained how you could sit and read and have a cosy time. However, the "space" is at the stairwell, and our floor had one chair to sit on. There were not enough clean cups and tea spoons, most of the tea canisters were empty. The fridge was crowded by another guest's champagne bottle and take-away box (the fridge was very small and shared by the whole floor). A few days before our stay the hotel sent an email to let us know that there would be a street party on the weekend of our stay. 1) the email was in german only, so I could only halfway understand it and 2) if I had known sooner than a couple of days before then I would have rebooked to another hotel. As such, there was nothing we could do and the extremely overexcited woman in reception simply offered us some earplugs and advice us that staying in the city is expected to be noisy. And it was :( The most important advice for breakfast is: Get there early. The first day it took almost 30 min to get a small cup of coffee and the food was not all restocked. Furthermore, it looked rather "worn" since it was a buffet and had had many "hands on it" before us. The next morning we had to get up early for a flight and the breakfast was actually a pleasant experience.

The staff was so helpful and friendly. We had an amazing view of the river! There were a couple of things that were an issue: the bathroom was so tiny- you couldn’t do anything at the sink without getting water all over the floor. The toilet was so close to the shower that I kept hitting my leg and knee on it while trying to clean off. I finally learned my lesson and stood sideways and cleaned off. The pillows were so flat that I found folding it up helped the first night. Then, I requested a second pillow which helped a bit. The bed was comfortable, though. The room was a bit too sparse. Overall, a pleasant staff, a decent breakfast (great cup of coffee), and great view of the river but next time in Basel I will probably opt for a different hotel.
