I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was lovely with a huge bed and a balcony, offering great facilities and all the comforts I needed. However, the location, although very central in Basel, was noisy due to nearby bars. The service was exceptional, but the dining experience lacked variety in menu options.

I stayed at the hotel, which boasts a smart room with a huge bed. The room was comfy and had all the necessary comforts, but also had some noise from nearby bars. The service was attentive with room service available, and the location was right in the center of the lively city. The dining experience offered fresh Mediterranean dishes, and the facilities were top-notch. Price was fair for the value provided.
