Comfortable hotel for business or leisure in Basel

Convenient location with access to the river and city centre. Comfortable rooms and the best breakfast with a quiet shady patio area. Very friendly staff. The rooms do not have air conditioning which is only an issue when temperatures are very high, which is not often. I have stayed here several times and will return again.

- right next to a tram spot - super clean rooms and nice bathroom - all staff we dealt with were wonderful - free mini bar! (One beer, two cokes, two waters) Only downfall was the room was SO hot! It was 0 degrees mostly when we were there but had to sleep with the door open as it was too hot / stuffy. Otherwise, I really recommend and thank all of the staff! :)

It was a nice property with very helpful staff. Well maintained. The coffee machine in the lobby was fantastic and convenient. The only downside was the heat in our room. There is no Aircon. We opened the window and turned on the fan but it was still to hot.
