Guest Ratings & Reviews
I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were well-decorated and spacious, although they tended to get quite hot and could have used better cooling. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff offering great recommendations and even providing a complimentary parking service. The location was convenient with easy access to transport options and attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory with a decent breakfast selection. Overall, a nice place to stay.
The hotel offers a modern stay with spacious and well-presented rooms, although not completely quiet due to church bells at night. The staff is very pleasant and professional, with helpful recommendations for dining. The location, with lovely gardens and easy access to the old city, is perfect for a relaxing stay.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were warm and spacious, although a bit noisy at times. The staff was very helpful and provided us with valuable information about the city, even offering the Basel card for our convenience. The location, while close to the city center, had a small drawback despite the free travel card included in the stay. The dining experience was enjoyable, particularly when seated outdoors, but slightly on the pricey side.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, very well presented, and incredibly comfortable. They were clean and had access to free wifi. The service provided was top-notch, with exceptionally pleasant and professional staff. The location was lovely, especially with the Christmas lights adding a magical touch. The dining experience offered a decent selection, although breakfast felt a bit like a do-it-yourself affair. Overall, a great value for the money with wonderful facilities.
The hotel rooms were spacious and clean, offering comfort albeit with a modern design that may not suit all tastes. The service was very helpful, especially with city insights and a useful Basel card. The location, though generally excellent, had a minor setback despite the complimentary travel card provided. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a quaint setting in a separate building surrounded by nature. A good place for those looking for a peaceful stay with helpful staff but may not be ideal for those seeking ultra-luxurious accommodations.
