This is a nice little hotel. Rooms are super spacious, clean and modern. Service was good. The hotel is right across the street to the train station Badischer Bahnhof. The breakfast was the only minus point rather minimal lots of packed food no fruit salad

Short one night stay. Ideal structure for short stays. Spacious and very clean rooms. Essential services. Public transport very close, and possibility of public parking also very close. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pet friendly with little attention to 4-legged friends.

We only spent one night in Basel but thoroughly enjoyed it. This hotel helped make for a great stay. Traveling with five has had us mostly staying in Airbnb’s and a hotel is never as spacious. …

Good hotel, practically next to the Sbb station, not the central one. Convenient automatic check-in, very clean fourth floor. Extra bed for 14 year old son not comfortable (sofa) for a 4 star is not good. …
