    I was particularly impressed by the modern and artsy decor throughout the hotel. The communal seating areas were inviting.

    A double duvet would enhance comfort.

    spacious room
    comfy bed

    The room was spacious and super clean, with a comfy bed, made it easy to get a good night's sleep. Soundproofing was on point, so it was nice and quiet despite being in a central area. The bathroom was modern, though a bit small. I felt it had everything I needed for a short stay.

    The central location allowed easy access to nearby attractions. Clean, stylish room offered comfort. Minor inconvenience with a kettle absence, but the overall charm made up for it. I loved my experience!

    Welcoming staff, bright and absolutely fantastic rooms with a very comfortable bed. Amazing and fantastic location, not very far from Muensterplatz. And adjacent to Basel as a whole, the city centre and the train station and the old town centre.

    Decent food and relaxing drinks. Practical and modern room with an extremely comfy bed. Location not far from great bars and restaurants as well as a pedestrian zone of Basel. Also, within walking distance of pretty much everything.

    The location was exceptional, right in the heart of the Christmas market, making our stay vibrant and lively. The friendly staff lent us a Swiss adaptor that was a lifesaver during our visit.

    great design but average amenities

    The architecture impressed us with its modern and sleek design. We loved the inviting feel of the staff, who were always ready to assist us .

    The breakfast selection could use a bit more variety.

    Ideal Base for Exploring Basel

    As a solo traveler for one night, I appreciated the clean, stylish room with everything I needed. The staff were very good, preparing an early breakfast so I could catch my train. A tip, take tram 8 or 11 for easy access to the train station!
