Everything. Beginning from the first impression - the very beautiful and colorful lobby, the bar, the very kind, professional and helpful stuff, that also arranged for me earlier entrance in the room as scheduled, since I arrived really early in the city and asked if there is any possibility for that. You can also leave your luggage there. The room - same as in the photos, big enough for me, cute and stylish, very clean. I liked the glasses for water, the quality of the liquid soap, shower gel and body lotion in the bathroom. The bed and pillows were comfortable. And to finish with the restaurant where the breakfast was served - very, very beautiful, with big windows and view of a garden. The breakfast offer was miscellaneous. I would sort it in the direction to 5* hotel - really good decorations that drew my attention and everything was tasty. Very nice dessert too. To mention that the location is quite central, one could get on foot, if wants to have a little walk, but the connection to public transport was very good only 2 min to bus and tram, that are really frequent. You get a city card in the hotel with which you don't pay for the tickets and to 50% off for visiting museums. I'd definitely stay again in this hotel! .

Very good room, with a view on to the garden. Great thing is socket with different shapes, so you dont need to use any switch. Bed is very confortable, and room si clean. Mini bar is free of charge if you want to use it. Inside a min bar are some soda, water, and beer. Breakfast is very good, enough choice for eating usualy or sweet breakfast, diferent type of juices (orange, multivitamin, grape...), coffee as you wish (machiato, expresso, long, short, with milk..). Stuff is very polite and so kind, ready to help you at any time. Location is good, close enough to old town. Anyway if you dont like to walk, you can rent a bike in hotel and drive around a city. All city is bike friendly city so I highly recommend to rent a bike and go to sightseen witha a bike. Bycicle is electrical so even an older quests could drive it. Great hotel, great experience, definitely I will use this hotel again.

Breakfast was awesome, with great coffee and lots of selection for even the fussy eater. It's 7-10 am though, even on weekends so I would recommend prolonging it to 11 am on Saturday/Sunday, but this is more a business hotel than family. Our Apartment room was fantastic. Huge beds, very comfy pillows, and bedding. Huge bathroom and blackout curtains. I slept like a baby. The coffee in the room was great, and the fridge and all types of kitchenware, you can't go wrong. Daily cleaning was superb. The towels weren't very fluffy but now I am nitpicking. Overall, we got a great deal on the hotel I booked 9 months ago, and it's definitely worth the splurge if you want comfort with family. Bus #30 gets you to Bahnhof in 10 mins and #50 gets you to the airport in 20. Overall, this place was perfect for our stay. Tip: there is a great Indian restaurant around the corner that is cheap, called Chickpea.

Top position, easy to reach all city areas with bus and tram. There are also a couple of good Asian restaurants close to the hotel - Nua - the dumpling spirit & Boo Klybeck. We have been there to take part to the famous Basel carnival, the staff at the reception has given us all needed information. There is also the possibility to have breakfast at 3AM before going to the morgenstreich. Excellent breakfast buffet, there is everything you wish and the quality is very good. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

Anissa

Friendly staff, clean and very spacious room. Well decorated, too, as a bonus. The breakfast was fantastic, lots of choice of literally anything you would want from a continental breakfast. The highlight was a free "Basel card" for the duration of our stay which allowed us to use public transport for free, as well as accessing museums at half price during our stay. Generous breakfast time (7 to 11) with just as welcome late checkout at midday.
