Beautiful hotel. Only set-back is that noise appears to travel somewhat, such that I could often hear footsteps in my room.

An excellent hotel and location with a boutique style and fantastic rooms. The breakfast includes Cava, freshly squeezed orange juice, pastries and breads, scrambled egg, smoked salmon and bacon (amongst other things). You can have eggs, porridge and bacon made to order (if you can flag down a server). The 'minibar' included in the room is more mini fridge, as it only includes soft drinks, crisps and a toblerone. An excellent inclusion but certainly not a bar. The air-conditioning is limited by local law, with the room maintaining a warm temperature unless a window is opened - However the trams running limit this use to sleeping hours without interruption. The hotel did provide a fan to help. The front desk staff were all very friendly and always quickly resolved any request. We had a great stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great location and the rooms were spacious and so clean. We enjoyed our stay and they were so kind at the front desk. They helped with bags and gave us a room early, which was so nice. We would stay again.

Beautiful hotel in Basel
This was an amazing hotel. Although an old building, it has been thoroughly modernized. The room was very spacious, the king bed was super comfortable and even the pillows were good. A nice perk is the sauna and steam room available at no extra cost. The attached hotel restaurant was good - we had a nice lunch there. Be forewarned that Switzerland is expensive and restaurant dining and taxis may be way more than expected. Luckily, the hotel is situated in a shopping district where a supermarket, open markets, takeaway and bakeries are readily available for more cost-effective dining options. Highly recommeneded
