Ein schöner Traum in Basel, Schweiz
Pros:

Das freundliche Personal, das kleine aber nette Frühstück und die Umgebung. Gute Anbindung zum Hauptbahnhof sowie eine ruhige Lage. Das Hotel liegt zwar sehr zentral, jedoch war die Lautstärke sehr diplomatisch, also sehr ruhig und eine gute Atmosphäre.

Cons:

Gar nix hab nix zu bemängeln

Çok iyi seçim
Pros:

Çalışanlar çok yardımcı ve güleryüzlü; küçük oda ayırtmamıza rağmen ücret farkı almadan bir büyük odada kalmamızı sağladılar ve bunu kendileri teklif etti; konumu gayet güzel; her yere yürüme mesafesinde. Tüm sorularımıza içtenlikle cevap verdiler; odada Pikap ve plaklar var; bu da çok hoştu

Séjour parfait !
Pros:

Emplacement idéal, à 2 pas du Centre historique, et à 25mn à pied de la gare. Nous avons été surclassé. La chambre était parfaite. Le petit déjeuner était varié et excellent.

Het ontbijt is erg duur, maar er is ook een kleiner ontbijt verkrijgbaar met een beperkter assortiment. Dat stond echter nergens vermeld.
