    chaotic check-in

    Had a blast with friends! We visited the amazing Christmas Markets and the beautiful museums nearby. The place was perfect location by the river. With comfy beds and friendly staff, our group felt well-catered. The free morning croissants were such a nice touch!

    Unfortunately, the check-in process was a bit chaotic, taking nearly 45 minutes to sort out. Our friends ended up on a different floor, frustrating.

    The location was unbeatable and exceptionally nice: shopping centres and a public market were within walking distance. The bed was comfortable and the rooms were fully-equipped.

    The breakfast was very tasty and the waitress was especially attentive and friendly. . Only to recommend. :)

    The bathroom was very narrow. In a superior room, one might expect something different, but one should not forget it, it is a hotel and I only had the room for one night.

    The location at the "middle Rhine bridge" is sensational and to be woken up by the sun in the morning is as well. Standing on the small balcony overlooking the old town of Basel is a gift.

    Ideal hotel with river views and extremely helpful and very friendly staff. Comfortable beds in our superior twin room. Great to have an attached restaurant with good food and 10 % discount. Thoroughly enjoyable overall experience...

    cramped room

    My wife says that the room was quite cramped for our family. It would be great to have larger rooms for families with kids.
