Nice place, good value.
Nice hotel, well situated on the edge of the Old Town. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable and the bedding very fresh. Given the prices of everything else in Basel, this hotel was fantastic value. It’s basic, but nice.
There’s a tram stop just outside which makes getting around really easy.

The hotel is located in an attractive spot with a tram nearby. Unfortunately, the property is extremely dated and smells quite musty. The carpeting in the room was very stained and rippled. The bed was comfortable. Would not recommend.

Comfortable, friendly and close to everything
Was in Basel for work. Great location. Easy to walk to everything or take tram 3 right outside the entrance to almost anywhere. Staff were super nice and friendly. We arrived at 9am hoping to simply store our bags until afternoon check in. But rooms were already available so they let us check in! This was highly welcoming after a long travel day. I will stay here again next time I’m in Basel.

Small hotel in old town Basel.
Paid for at time of arrival, and this was the first card activity upon reaching European soil and after notifying our card company we were traveling. Immediately received notice of questionable activity on our credit card of purchases to an Indian online clothing store and one other. This hotel is, I believe, under Indian management as they had an Indian restaurant and signs up for Ayurveda. Buyer beware
No free internet -pay extra
Basic mattress
Basic shower with curtain
Pipes that makes noise
Parking with extra cost (normal because city center) but to enter you need a key (they have only one) that you have to give them back
Conclusion : very expensive for the conditions provided.

Die spartanische Ausstattung war schrecklich, man spürte jeder Federkern der Matratze, das Badezimmer grausam! Der Titel „ Hotel „ verdient dieses Haus nicht!
