Amo questa struttura e la consiglio vivamente
Pros:

La posizione della struttura che frequento da anni é top. Il sistema Grander per l‘acqua corrente é un surplus da non sottovalutare

Cons:

I dettagli cominciano ad essere meno curati. Se il servizio di pulizia deve bussare alla porta per sincerarsi di poter riassettare, non va bene. Vuol dire che l’organizzazione vacilla

Unkomplizierter Check in. Kompaktes Zimmer. Alles da. Nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig und sogar noch ein paar kleine Extras wie ein Buch

Parfait
Pros:

Très bien situé, on peut laisser la voiture au parking et si on descend au 3 eme niveau on sort dans la vieille ville. Le personnel était charmant et très avenant.
La chambre est optimisée et tout est refait.

Delightful hotel in great location.
Pros:

Modern, clean, bright, well designed hotel. Very comfortable room and mattress. Quiet at night. Welcoming staff. Delightful garden. Great breakfast. Very happy with the location - only one stop on the no. 30 bus from the station and the hotel was then only a 10-15 minute walk from the Minster, Rathouse and the old centre. (Nice evening meal in the library courtyard.)

Cons:

No negative comments to make. Would stay here again. Basel is very expensive but there’s no way round that!
