6/10

Super location, friendly staff, great restaurant and service. Unfortunately, the rooms have no air conditioning, which is very uncomfortable during summer temperatures. We were offered 2 fans, which helped, but not really a solution. The room with the city view faced towards the construction site across a small street, which meant very loud noise starting at 7 AM every morning. The pictures on the web did not accurately show the room setup; the double bed room was super small and had only a very small closet. Overall, great location, service and food, but poor accommodations.

Great location! Basel is a wonderful town! We were disappointed to find our room at the back of the property was a laneway, with a number of bistros that were open late, even on week nights!

Very nice hotel in a convenient location. Rooms were all updated, while common areas had a nice historical feel. The only negative on a hot day was no air conditioning. Staff was very helpful and pleasant.

Everything was great about this hotel. Location, staff and room. The hotel is a historical landmark in the city and I highly recommend. We only stayed one night to catch our river cruise the next day, however we wished we had stayed a couple more. Next time!!

The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was welcome and comfortable. There were so many thoughtful inclusions, like a water jug in the room and filtered water tap on every floor. The room was comfortable and had great views of the river.
