Check in/out easy. Breakfast was good. Staff helpful. The hotel is older-floorboards in our room had rough areas, hot water shower control didn’t work well, couldn’t switch between showerheads. Body lotion, liquid body/hand soap provided, but no shampoo. Towels are very thin. There is construction,with a crane, outside window but that was ok. City nice to explore & the Basel City card from hotel provides free public transport

Le camere con vista sul fiume hanno un’ottima visuale che permette di scattare bellissime foto. Il letto della singola era molto confortevole e il bagno spazioso, moderno e pulito. Consiglierei solo l’installazione di aria condizionata per praticità, ma il grande ventilatore in dotazione era comunque sufficiente ad arieggiare.

We arrived on a Sunday, please bear in mind the kitchens closes early on a Sunday. We got so busy that we didn’t notice it was close to 9pm and we missed out on dining. The only criticism that I have is the pillows. We only got one each and was lacking volume. The staff were so nice & friendly. Breakfast was included and it satisfied our hunger. We love the location. Thank you.
Comfy bed but would like extra pillows
Notice that there’s an electric fan. This indicates the building doesn’t have aircon.

Brilliant location by the river with food options onsite, and nearby transport options. Lots of character a little noisy at night due to being above bars on riverside. Must be one of the best places to stay in Basel.

La struttura si trova in una posizione strategica, facile da raggiungere e ben servita, oltre che i trasporti efficienti e sempre in perfetto orario, sono presenti supermercati e negozi. Lungo il fiume vi sono vari locali, affollati durante il tramonto. La struttura è molto carina, stanza spaziosa e luminosa. In struttura vi erano inoltre varie persone che parlavano italiano e la colazione insulsa era buona. Lo staff è molto cordiale ed efficiente.

Mit Charme und schön gelegen

Das sehr individuelle, charmante Hotel ist wunderbar in der Altstadt und direkt am Rhein gelegen, und vom badischen Bahnhof direkt mit der Straßenbahn erreichbar. Da mir bei Ankunft gleich die Baselcard überreicht wurde, konnte ich mit Straßenbahnen und Bussen alle Ziele in der Stadt erreichen, ohne mich um Tickets und Tarifringe kümmern zu müssen. Zwar gingen die Fenster meines Zimmers auf einen Innenhof, das wusste ich aber bei der Buchung und wurde durch die gelungene Gestaltung und den Topzustand des Zimmers voll aufgewogen.

When we checked in to our rooms, we were not happy that we were put in an inside room with a view of the elevator, we had booked canal view. We were immediately moved to the rooms we booked and had a wonderful stay!
