Reception staff came quickly and was friendly and helpful. Tight car parking, but very close. Nice restaurant attached with live music and chef who showed us proper way to eat some Ukranian dishes. Greet street car access to various sites. Our std double room had a small, but very workable bathroom. Our window opened into a building filled court yard.

Great hotel with questionable breakfast

Brilliant room, great staff, breakfast was nasty. Stone cold scrambled eggs, very odd tasting sausages and nothing else hot.

Nice stay

The elevator was not large, but they can help you with the luggage. The front desk is very helpful in directions and they provide Basel card for the duration of the trip- which is a pleasant surprise (allowing you all the public transportation for free in the city)

Decent family room.

Good hotel particularly for a family group, room had 2 separate adjoining bedrooms. It was a bit dated but fine for our stay. Lift is very small only room for 2 people with cases.
