Excellent overnight stay for train travellers.
Pros:

Excellent location right by the railway station and breakfast served in time for an early train the next morning. Very spacious room and quiet apart from the soft deep rumbling of trams in the early morning. Excellent food hall nearby offering treats from all over the world - we chose a delicious Palestinian dinner.

Cons:

No problems at all.

Para quem quer ficar perto da esta ao é uma otima opcao.
Pros:

Localizacao perfeita para quem vai utilizar a estacao de comboio que era o meu caso. Deram me um quarto de esquina que era bem espaçoso e confortavel.

Cons:

Por estar bem perto das paragens dos eletricos sente se uma ligeira tremedeira por causa dos mesmos.

Fine for our requirements
Pros:

No hotel facilities used

Cons:

All good apart from the noise of the trams which stopped about midnight and started about 0600. Earplugs were supplied which helped.

Pros:

The rooms were big, fairly priced, professional staff. Really easy to get to the hotel.

Cons:

It’s right next to the train and tram station so it was a bit hectic and noisy, but nothing too bad.

Pros:

The location is superb, and the room rate was very affordable. The room was spacious, the bath too. Pretty quiet.

Cons:

The room could have been a little cozier (more blankets, pillows, carpet). The breakfast cost of 35 CHF was pretty hefty.

Un très bon point de départ pour visiter Bâle
Pros:

Le rapport qualité prix de la chambre

Cons:

Le prix du petit déjeuner, mais compte tenu des tarifs pratiqués dans les tea-rooms ou boulangeries alentours, nous le prendrons la prochaine fois

Odličan hotel, sa još boljom lokacijom
Pros:

Sve je bilo odlično, hotel sa 3 zvijezde, koji definitivno zaslužuje više zbog onog što nudi. Lokacija, čistoća, osoblje. Sve super
