The room was spacious and although next to quite a busy road junction it was quiet. The maids kept it extremely clean and it was serviced daily. There was a good variety of hot and cold food on offer at breakfast. The staff were all lovely, extremely polite and very helpful. The Basel card which is active from arrival at the airport with a hotel booking confirmation gives free travel on buses from and to the airport , and also buses and trams while staying in Basel. There is a bus stop just across from the hotel. The number 30 takes you to the SBB Swiss station, then the number 50 bus from the same place to the airport. On the opposite side at the Spalentor Gate, a bus will take you to the German Station, I can't remember the number of the bus but the timetable at the bus stop tells you the destinations. The tram station is a few metres away from the SBB, The transport system in Basel is amazing and so efficient.

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, and it was an amazing experience from the moment we arrived. The check-in process was very simple and easy. The staff at the front desk were very helpful and attentive. The rooms are spacious and have good air conditioning. The housekeeping team does a great job keeping everything clean. The hotel’s location in the city center makes food and transportation very easy to access. The swimming pool is clean and convenient, and the gym is well-equipped. Overall, we definitely plan to come back next time, and I highly recommend this hotel!
