La demoiselle à l’accueil était d’une gentillesse incroyable. Nous sommes arrivés à l’avance, et elle nous a aisément accommoder. En prime, ils ont offert un verre de boisson gratuit en début de soirée. La chambre est propre, et c’est calme. Je recommande fortement, rapport qualité prix imbattable !

Great buffet

The only reason I’d grant this hotel stay 4 instead of 5 stars is that the bathroom is teeny tiny. The buffet and filtered water stations are wonderful!

The room was spotless and very chic. Its small, so not a lot of room for big luggage. The location was perfect for traveling by train because it's one bus stop away from the train station. Down a few stairs and you're in the charming streets of Basel. I would stay here again!
