Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable and tastefully decorated rooms with every facility available, though they can be on the small side. The service is lovely, striking a perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. The location is convenient, being directly opposite the Basel train station but still quiet. The dining experience provides plentiful and varied options in an elegant setting. The facilities are well-equipped to enhance the stay.
I paid 230 euros for a small single room, but it was very clean. The glass pocket doors in my room were nice, but one fell near me and broke.
The hotel is perfectly situated right across from the central train station and near the tram hub. The rooms, though small, are comfortably equipped with modern amenities and full of character. The friendly and helpful service made me feel welcomed, but a more proactive approach could enhance the experience. The dining, boasting organic products, was exceptional, yet more local options could be introduced. Overall, a convenient location with charming rooms and delightful dining.
My stay at the hotel was beyond delightful! The rooms were pristine and luxurious, offering great amenities. Stepping into my room felt like transporting to a different century; it was beautifully designed and truly a highlight of the property. The location was perfect, right next to the Basel SBB station and the main tram hub, offering excellent convenience. However, the dining experience, despite efforts, left a bit to be desired. The overall value for money was great, with exceptional service and a touch of old-world elegance.
I had a delightful stay! The rooms were large, immaculate, and had a lovely stairway adding to the sense of space and relaxation. The natural light from the dormer window made it nice and bright. The service was top-notch with friendly and accommodating staff throughout, including a beautiful canine resident. The location was awesome, right next to the Basel train station and trams for easy city access. The dining experience was exceptionally fresh and delicious. Overall, a fantastic choice with a few minor drawbacks worth considering.
Paying 230 euros for a small single room that was well-appointed and clean initially felt good, but the unbearable heat in the loft area was a downside. The service was among the most helpful I've encountered, with genuinely caring staff making the stay comfortable. The hotel's ideal location directly across from the train and tram stations made getting around Basel effortless. The dining experience was beyond expectations with a variety of quality options. The facilities were well-maintained and exceeded our needs.
Our stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had a strange layout with iffy stairs, but offered enough space for our family of four. The service was excellent, with a helpful and accommodating staff. The location couldn't have been better, right across from the Central train station. However, the dining experience, while good, had room for improvement in terms of variety. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.
