This hotel is in a great central location. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable and clean but the steps from sleeping area to bathroom were challenging. That’s my only “complaint”. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and so generous that we could go all day until dinner .

Best hotel ever

Best hotel experience I've had in my life. And I'm 54 years old so I've been in a lot of hotels. It's not just that the hotel itself is incredible, the staff went above and beyond my expectations every day. If I return to Basel I will definitely stay at this hotel and not even look for another one
