Close walk to the center of town.
-
the location was magnificent, staff were friendly. the hotel was right by such local attractions as messeplatz.
-
The central district is located in close proximity.
-
In very close vicinity to the town centre
-
100 metres away there is Casanova, where you can dine. A decent place for exploring Basel. The rooms met needs well. We greatly enjoyed this hotel and would absolutely stay here again...
-
The hotel is located only a short walk to Marktplatz. Rooms are big and clean and the hotel is overall good value for money.
-
Friendly service and nice people Great location
-
We loved the location of the hotel. Walking distance from the town and easy access to trams, trains, etc... The stay came with breakfast each morning. The room was very cozy, quiet and clean. Really enjoyed ourselves. We would go back!
-
Location Free tram pass included (though this is apparently standrd in all Basel hotels) 2 min walk from tram stop Sound of the Spalenbrunnen fountain at night (after the trams stop)
All-pervasive smell of Indiam cooking from the restaurant Failure to give us an alarm call as requested at 06.30 on our last morning. We might have missed our train
-
It is a very comfortable hotel and it is easy to get to by tram 3 to Universitat stop, the hotel is opposite. I was very pleased to be given a free ticket for all trams and buses for the duration of my stay.

However the room was very oldfashioned it was very clean. The location of the hotel is perfect to visit Basel.
The hotel staff is really hard to find. There was a persisting smell of smoke in the hall, in the corridor and in the restaurant, where the breakfast is served, but not in the room. The breakfast is nothing special. Please be careful: the hotel has a basement, in which there is a tipically "Night Bar". The entrance of the hotel and of the the "Night Bar" is the same. It could be that you meet some customers of the Night bar in the hall or in the corridor of the hotel. We didn't expect to find this "setting" for a 150,- chf room...we really didn't appreciate that...
-
The hotel is close to the University and city transportation. We were greeted with a map of Basel and a map of the subway system, so we could get anywhere. We could walk to many things we wanted to see. Management was friendly and helpful.
-
Friendly staff, large room, good breakfast included in price. Staff knew english.
-
Free parking, which was why we chose this otherwise terrible hotel.
Breakfast was awful, with yesterday's croissants, eggs you have to boil yourself and weird sheets hung around the room.
-
Parking available. Better than average breakfast buffet.
Aroma of food cooked in the restaurant permeated the hotel. Decor is a little dated, but this is a minor complaint.
