Check-in: Check-in was quick and efficient, making arrival hassle-free. Room: I received a complimentary upgrade to the Villa Ambiente. The room was very spacious, beautifully presented, block out blinds and extremely comfortable. The large rainfall shower was a standout feature. Wifi worked well. Breakfast: Breakfast was on the smaller side, but there were enough choices to start the day well. Location: The hotel is perfectly located just across from Basel SBB station, making it ideal for easy transport connections and exploring the city. Overall: A smooth stay with excellent service, a great room, and unbeatable location.

We had one of the larger rooms in the "villa" annex, and it was very spacious and comfortable. Everything was very modern, including window blinds that are operated electrically. It took a bit of experimentation to figure out what all the switches did. The walk-in shower was especially nice.
