Wonderful hotel in Basel.
Fantastic location, one block from train station. Two blocks from Hertz to drop off the car. The local street car was out front and a quick 2 stops to the Christmas market. Staff was kind and knowledgeable! There is a bar on lobby floor to play games on large table. A big five star experience!

Great little hotel near Basel SBB. Close to the downtown. We only had the chance to stay one night before an early train ride. It worked perfectly. Very, very friendly and efficient check in. Rooms are very clean and well decorated.

Amazing location
This is a very centrally located hotel in Basel, adjacent to the SBB train station and across the street from a variety of city trams. This makes getting to anyplace in the area very easy. The hotel was comfortable, had a good breakfast, and was clean. The bathrooms are large relative to the room. My only complaint was the pillows--would be nice to have something that had shape. But al in all, I would definitely stay here again.

Hotel was very near the train station. Was given a tourist card which allowed me to travel foc on the buses and tram for the period I was in Basel. Breakfast was good.
