Amazing location, clean room, lovely people, top breakfast!
Pros:

The room was bigger than the photos, it was very clean with a super comfortable bed. The stuff was kind and helpful. The breakfast was super, especially for Europe standards. It starts pretty early so I was able to eat and go to the event every day. The waiters were very kind as well. In front of the hotel there is the tram, super easy to reach anywhere you want and almost zero noise.

Cons:

Nothing that I didn't like. I would appreciate to have a small fridge in the room maybe, but all good.

Nice hotel in the centre of Basel
Pros:

This is our second time at this hotel. It is a lovely hotel next door to the main Basel railway station and tram stop.
From this hotel it is easy to get a tram to anywhere in Basel, but it is also close enough to walk to the city centre and the river.
The room was spacious and had a good bathroom.
The breakfast was good.
