I was working around the corner; the location was extremely convenient for me. Staff at front desk were always kind upon coming and going from the property and helpful with everything I asked. I didn’t see the garden until my last day somehow but hope to stay again next year. It’s very clean and orderly as a hotel should be. Had everything I needed for my stay including gym and laundry! I do not have any complaints. Thank you!

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.

Really good location, ideal to cut through into town. Property was spotlessly clean. Good correspondence with the owner, who was very helpful and answered questions promptly. Would highly recommend this place when visiting Basel.
