Beautiful and quiet but too hard bed

Beautiful space, quiet, excellent shower, but the bed was way too hard and the 1 pillow provided too flat, which made the sleep less than great.

Got bus into town and short 10-15 walk to hotel (Free bus from airport if you staying in Basel) room was comfy, clean, excellent powerful hot shower. Very comfy bed, liked how curtains totally blocked out light so get a great nights sleep. Sauna in hotel was very good, needed after a long day in the cold outside. Nice little touches like tea, mulled wine and cookes in reception, again very wlecome after coming in from the cold. Location was great, short walk into town and christmas markets, or to station to get train to Luzern or Zurich or wherever, perfect location in that respect. Staff were beyond excellent, gave us so much advise and just so friendly. Didnt eat at hotel as we were out most the time and so many options around town, but it looked good. Loved our stay

The best staff! The staff here was truly exceptional. Their friendliness, helpfulness and attentive service is beyond compare. Every single person made us feel like we were someone important. The hotel was very nice too - comfortable and quiet. The Basel Card they gave us was a nice perk too, giving us free access to public transit and discounts at attractions. I would consider returning to Basel even more, just to stay here again.

We arrived early after being on a cruise. They stored our luggage and I went exploring for a bit. I was not feeling well and returned to see if my room was available. The reception staff were kind. The room I was booked into was not available, they provided me an upgraded room to allow me the opportunity to have so rest. This was much appreciated.
