My stay at the hotel was a fantastic experience. The rooms were nice, very clean, and had a huge, comfy bed. The atmosphere was a bit cold, but everything was super clean, spacious, and comfortable. The location was great, right at the train station and next to all the trams. The service was polite and friendly, although there was a small hiccup with our booking. The dining could have been more elaborate, but the organic products were a nice touch.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic, being right at the Main Station with easy access to transportation. The rooms, though quiet, were smaller than expected, especially compared to another hotel I had stayed in before. The service was excellent, with attentive and conscientious staff. However, dining was a bit pricey, and the breakfast options were limited.

The hotel offers elegant and spacious rooms with good air conditioning, perfect for surviving hot days in Basel. The rooms are beautifully appointed, clean, large, with wood floors, strong showers, and a view of the trams out front. The service is friendly, but could benefit from improved customer service training. The location, though close to the train station, can feel somewhat seedy with many homeless and beggars around. The dining experience exceeded expectations with delicious and plentiful dishes, but the water for tea wasn't hot enough. Facilities are well-maintained and satisfactory.

The room I stayed in was at the front, overlooking the tram and train station. It felt like new, had an excellent wifi connection, a sumptuous breakfast was served, a big bathtub, and it was just a two-minute walk from the bahnhof. Plus, they have always been check-in ready when I have arrived.
