Rooms were clean and comfortable.Breakfast staff were particularly friendly.Location wasn't the best, but we got a basel card which let us travel on buses and trams for free, which we made good use of. It also got us half price for various attractions.Parking was very expensive.

Wonderful guest services--everyone so polite and friendly--and thoughtful gestures, including the available battery banks and free beverages in the lobby and the guest room. Superb bedding. Great location. Lots of comfortable public space in the lobby for hanging out or working (including the conference table on the mezzanine). Good WiFi. Clean and quiet. Highly recommend.

Nice hotel for a budget price. To save time you can do online checkin before you get there. Staff were shorthanded but they are nice. I have to get the bathrobe from the reception myself. The room package I got includes free minibar and breakfast. The ironing room is in a common area. Overall, it is a nice hotel to stay in.
