The fact that there is no AC is crazy in 2025. I know there are very strict laws around this in CH but this is not ok. Especially now that there is lots of clinical evidence that sleeping in warm rooms is a trigger for Alzheimers and other cognitive diseases.

Great room and staff was super friendly. Great breakfast too

Noisy from construction works right outside the hotel. Warm was hot, no air con. Stupid sink design in the bathroom. Few power outlets in the room and no USB.

Lovely position on the river side. Good restaurant.

the keys were too heavy, had to leave at the reception every time I went out.

room was too small, did not have a good view.

The hotel was supposed to be 4 star, my room was a disgrace. Just because we are travelling solo doesn’t mean we deserve to be in a shoe box. The price I was charged, certainly did not reflect the quality of the accomodation.

Close to tram line and old town.

Living room area was cluttered and covered in used coffee cups. Used mugs not removed from rooms when cleaned. Difficult to charge mobile phones etc as many plugs didn’t work

Lovely spot. Chaotic breakfast service. Had to wait for a table. The waitress was rushed off her feet.

The room we were given overlooked a construction site. They started working very early in the morning (7am). It was very noisy. The room was not very nice. The floor was uneven and squeaky. The bathroom was very, very small.

The location was probably the only reason to stay there.

Very bad positioning of the switch for bedside light and socket for mobile phone charger. In my room 2-6 these were positioned at the back of an alcove and could not be reached (photo). The window was warped and didn't close properly, leading to a draught and street noise. Water had obviously leaked in (photo). Access to the tiny shower was obstructed by fixed furniture (photo).

Great location by the river. Good choice at breakfast. Convenient coffee and tea station on the landing of each floor. When I asked for non-feather duvet and pillow these were provided. I asked for a bath robe and they brought it within 5 min.

In the room the parquet is very old and squeaks uncomfortably and loudly. It needs change for new ones definately.

The breakfast was wonderful! The service was perfect. Waiters are polite. The bathroom is brand new, very nicely designed.

Unfortunately it falls short on value for money. The Dyson fan was dirty as was the shower (pictured). I initially thought the cleaning staff had forgotten, but turns out it’s the anti-slip surface of the shower that with time has gotten grimy. I would expect to see this in a hostel but not a 4* hotel in the centre of Basel. Then there’s the communal drinks stations and ironing boards. Imagine arriving late from dinner, changing, and discovering you need to dress again to go and get a glass of water by the staircase. The ironing board is a meter too short so good luck ironing anything. If your room is not facing the river and you’re staying on a Friday or Saturday night, be prepared for a lot of noise from the street as there’s bars and people stay there until 3-4am. We were on the 4th and last floor and I can’t say it helped much. The wifi also doesn’t reach the 4th floor. It would’ve been nice for half the price but you can find better hotels with more attention to detail in this city.

Very well-designed hotel. Rooms are spacious.

The reception was not welcoming and unprofessional. The rooms smelled quite musty.

I liked the old features and decor. The wine bar across the road was great!

Stayed in September 2024

No air conditioning only a fan. It was very hot in the room making it difficult to sleep. The view out of our window was on the street side facing a big crane and some construction.

Good location close to the tram and right on the river. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast.

Stayed in August 2024

Not for disabled people like me! And it is very loud because of the 2 bars on the street. The single rooms are to small but the double rooms opposite the hotel are comfortable! No air-conditioned, they display a Dyson Fan, which is not enough considering the heat and the noise of the street

Very friendly staff, the location is great at the Rhein river The food at the restaurant is delicious, i can recommend it

Stayed in August 2024

The room was too hot. As there was only a small Dyson to cool things down, it was not enough to serve as a proper climate control. I prefer a old fashioned ceiling fan ;) Opening the window at night wasn’t an alternative either as there was a lot of noise from outside. The parking discount (@Lidl) unfortunately did not work.

Location and historic buildings. The rooms were very nice and well equipped. There was free coffee, water, and sweets on every floor. Even an ironing station on each floor.

Stayed in August 2024

My room was rather small (that’s ok) but it was terribly hot because temperatures were so high. There was a very expensive fan but it was still too warm, maybe an old fashioned fan is actually more effective. It’s not a reason to get airconditioning and I understand it’s a result of high temperatures and reality but I didn’t sleep very well. Not a complaint just a fact.

Location and building and styling and staff all good!
