Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
Check in by an unfriendly, subtly condescending staff member. Room was on the city side on the first floor above the street. Smokers below on the street caused room to smell like cigarette smoke all night. Noisy room with construction sight directly across a narrow street. Small bathroom. Best part of our two night stay was the beverage center on each floor. Would not recommend this hotel.

Love the hospitality of the staff- friendly, helpful and professional. I just wish they had the door sign requesting privacy- the cleaning staff opened my door twice while I was in my room.

I stayed in a single room, and I didn't expect it to be so tiny. It doesn't have a closet. If you are a light sleeper you have to know it is noisy. You can hear people from the street, and upstairs neighbours walking. It is very well located, everything important is walking distance. A bus station that takes you to the train station just 1 min away. The staff is very nice. They have tasty snacks and coffee in every floor.

We had the premium room on the roof with a huge bathroom and bathtub. Room was always the right temperature with a big covered balcony. No minibar/fridge but had a coffee machine and hot water maker in the room Parking was a bit difficult but the staff went above and beyond to figure it out for us. Very close to all of downtown Basel. Small, very basic breakfast for 20cfh per person is not worth it but all in all very nice quiet hotel on the water. Once again, amazing staff.

Great smaller hotel right on the Rhine River in Basel with perfectly located within a short walk to the old town and many attractions. During our stay the annual Christmas market was just outside which was quite fun but did make accessing the hotel require a block or two walk with our luggage. We enjoyed a penthouse suite which didn't have much of a view but was spacious, clean and very quiet for a restful night's sleep. We'd certainly consider a return visit.
