Week end a Basilea
Pros:

Accoglienza alla reception e posizione.
Camera grande.

Cons:

Balcone non pulito. Posaceneri pieni di sigarette.
La stanza era rimodernata ma nel contempo sembrava già ‘vecchia’, c’era una grande trascuratezza nei dettagli e non solo. Vedere le foto. Peccato.

Günstiges aber winziges Zimmer bei der Messe
Pros:

Einzelzimmer 205. War froh, dass ich am Wochenende der Herbstmesse noch ein relativ preiswertes Zimmer erhielt. Das Notwendigste vorhanden, aber bei meinen regelmässigen Besuchen im Rheinfelderhof in den letzten 25 Jahren das deutlich kleinste Zimmerchen. Ankunft etwas schwierig, aber Receptionistin hat mich am Morgen aufgemuntert. Frühstück wegen Umbau des Restaurants verlegt ins nahe Hotel Alexander, ein fensterloser Saai, aber reichhaltiges Frühstück.

Cons:

Wegen Ausfällen und Verspätungen der Deutschen Bahn verschob sich meine abendliche Ankunft um fast drei Stunden, unterwegs telefonisch mitgeteilt. Pförtnerglocke nicht in Betrieb, aber Zettel mit Telefonnummer an der Türe. Was tun mit leerem Handy-Akku? Zufällig vernahm der Nachtportier meine Klopfzeichen. Obwohl ich seit Jahren Stammgast bin, waren meine Personalien fehlend oder fehlerhaft vorgemerkt. Keine ausgedruckte Basel Card, nur digital auf dem stillgelegten Handy... Nicht nur winziges Zimmer, auch das Bett empfand ich als schmal und kurz, aber es reichte für eine Nacht...
Ich entschuldige mich hier beim hilfsbereiten Nachtportier, bei dem ich meinen ganzen Unmut über Reise und Ankunft entlud...

once the work is carried out it will be a good value option hotel again
Pros:

I've stayed at the hotel 3 or 4 times now and it meets the price point it is pitched at. It's clean, staff are helpful and i would generally recommend the hotel

Cons:

while i knew the hotel kitchen / restaurant was being refurbed and out of action no mention was made of there being work carried out on the whole 1st floor. The work men often blocked off the lift which was annoying and work was being carried out 6 days a week. coffee facilities in the reception area were often not operating and often ran out of cups when it was operating. which was frustrating.
