Best hotel ever

Best hotel experience I've had in my life. And I'm 54 years old so I've been in a lot of hotels. It's not just that the hotel itself is incredible, the staff went above and beyond my expectations every day. If I return to Basel I will definitely stay at this hotel and not even look for another one

The room was very warm, but the staff provided us with summer blanket and a fan which truly helped get us through the night. The staff was very helpful with directions to tram, restaurants provided a dry bag for floating down the river ride, which was exceptionally fun

Great location, very clean, great internet access, very friendly and accommodating staff. A little noisy due to the tram and although they state it has air conditioning, it's in the pipes in the walls, so the room does not get cool if it's hot.
