While our room was very, very small and the only window looked out on the indoor elevator shaft, the location of the hotel was wonderful. Right on the river with several restaurants nearby, including one that is part of the hotel. The breakfast was very good. We asked for another room but was told there was only one left and it was even smaller and that the reason we got the room we did was because it was a discounted room. However, we were going on a river cruise and we could easily get a taxi to the dock.

Great room and hotel location. The only downsides were the slim pillow and lack of street noise soundproofing. The breakfast while good and delicious, had no warm options. Overall though, would come back again!

Brilliant location by the river with food options onsite, and nearby transport options. Lots of character a little noisy at night due to being above bars on riverside. Must be one of the best places to stay in Basel.

Room 302 was overlooking the elevator shaft with no exterior windows, very small with long narrow bathroom that didn't accommodate 2 people very easily. Dust balls found under the desk which is where I crawled to reach a usable electric outlet. Terrible dim lighting in the bed area. Bathroom needed at least one shelf to store toiletries; there werenone. No place to set suitcases off the floor. Breakfast was good and hotel location was great for the old town sites.
