Arrived in Basel from a river cruise on a Sunday. Taxi to hotel from Dock are was 50 euros which was exorbitant . The hotel is located about 200 meters from the main Basel railway station which is very handy to both trains and trams. Unfortunately we arrived on a Sunday and unbeknown to us nothing was open - no... More

Rooms are utilitarian and prices gouged us taking advantage af the Baselworld trade fair. No restaurant except for breakfast buffet and wine choices in the bar were minimal. Very convenient to trams and railroad.

Stayed here over the weekend in one of their economy room and it was quite awesome. The room was big and bright, very modern and clean with all the amenities including a free wireless Internet. The breakfast was included as well! The location was great, very close to the main train station. Would definitely stay here again.

An old family-run hotel, which first opened in 1864. However, it has all been renovated, and it was a very comfortable place to stay. They don't serve evening meals in the Dining Room (only breakfast), but there are plenty of restaurants in Basel, and snacks can be obtained in the bar. The staff on Reception and in the bar &...

I stayed here for 2 nights and was very pleasantly surprised with this place! I was told it was an older hotel but upon arriving, I saw it was completely renovated. My single room had hardwood floors and a balcony. The entry was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The room also had a safe, a comfortable sitting... More

While on business in Basel, I usually stay at the Victoria. However, they were booked so decided to try this one as an alternative. It is just as convenient (the Victoria is right next door). Lobby is smaller, but staff was very friendly. It has its own little bar right in the lobby that, as I recall, never closed. Prices... More

Convenient locatiion near train station, but tram point in front makes it noisy. Small duvet on bed means an average man can not cover head and feet. Room clean, but as expected at over 350 ChF per night. Breakfast buffet was bland / ordinary at best - Starbucks a better option. At this price in Basel you can do better.
