Great hotel with questionable breakfast
Brilliant room, great staff, breakfast was nasty. Stone cold scrambled eggs, very odd tasting sausages and nothing else hot.

Nice stay
The elevator was not large, but they can help you with the luggage. The front desk is very helpful in directions and they provide Basel card for the duration of the trip- which is a pleasant surprise (allowing you all the public transportation for free in the city)

Know what you are NOT paying for.
No air conditioning! One little fan, not nearly enough for hot humid nights! European so no wash cloths and maid service once a week! Also I am allergic to down and the only pillows they had were down. Sick the next morning, put the pillows in the closet opened all the windows and put the little fan on but they came in turned it off and closed the windows! My fault for not realizing there was no AC but only having down pillows was pretty un believable and unpleasant. Had to roll up an extra blanket to use as a pillow….

Great breakfast
Make sure you include breakfast in your reservation. It’s the best deal in Basel. Great location near many transit lines but walked from SSB in 35 minutes before got Basel pass. Comfortable room with opening windows. Cons were shower door opens into bathroom so can’t step onto mat and keep floor dry. Also, on Saturday night, loud music came from outside until 2 am.
