Prima Hotel neben dem Bahnhof Basel für eine Nacht - nur für Tiefschläfer, wegen lärmendem Tram
Pros:

Preis / Leistung ist prima. Gute Lage neben Bahnhof SBB für eine Nacht. Das Frühstück war gut. Meine Frau und ich schliefen prima, leben neben dem Flughafen Zürich ...

Cons:

Wer Ruhe braucht für seinen Schlaf, sollte ein anderes Hotel buchen. Denn die Strassenbahn donnert und lässt fast das Bett beben. Auf dem Nachttischli lagen Ohropax !

Comfortable hotel, close to the station
Pros:

The location near the main station with some restaurants nearby. There was also a very good grocery and eatery area next to the station.

Cons:

No mini fridge to keep milk for tea/coffee. Breakfast was basic and not cheap.

Pros:

Sehr gute Lage mit direkter Bahn- und Tram-Anbindung. Das Zimmer war geschmackvoll und geräumig und das Bad modern ausgestattet. Die Wasserspender von mild bis prickelnd auf mehreren Etagen waren auch sehr erfreulich. Das Frühstücks-Buffet war ausreichend, ich persönlich hätte mich noch über mehr verschiedene Körner und Samen und auch Kuchen gefreut.
Das Personal war durchgehend nett und freundlich.
Bei meinem nächsten Besuch in Basel würde ich sicher wieder hier absteigen.

Cons:
