Pros:

Habitacion, recepcion (muy atentos)

Cons:

Nos dijeron que volvamos en un rato para desayunar ya que estaba todo lleno, a lo que consultamos si habia una lista de espera porque habia muchisima gente esperando. Terminamos decidiendo quedarnos a esperar ahi. Nunca me paso algo asi, el hombre que estaba en recepcion no fue muy eficiente manejando la situacion y luego no llamaba por orden de espera

Für eine Nacht sehr gut geeignet, gute Lage in Basel.
Pros:

Die Lager u. das Frühstück waren sehr gut. Ebenso haben wir die Bar bzw. das Bistro genutzt, da das Restaurant am So geschlossen war. Das Food-Angebot und die Qualität waren für "Bar-Food" aussergewöhnlich gut. Der Eingangsbereich und die Bar sind sehr schön gestaltet.
Die Dusche im Badezimmer war Klasse, endlich mal ausreichend Wasserdruck.

Cons:

Das Zimmer, ich glaube Standard Kategorie, war sehr Basic eingerichtet. Es gab nicht mal ein Bild oder etwas charmantes in diesem Raum. Irgendwie hatte es den Charme zw. Jugendherberge und Luxus-Gefängnis. Wir konnten auch das Licht nicht dimmen, es war so hell wie ein Tagungsraum, was es nicht besser gemacht hat. Alles "kalte" Oberflächen wie Holz, Leder etc. was wiederum keine Wärme / Gemütlichkeit gibt. Klar war das Zimmer Standard-Kategorie, aber etwas mehr Gemütlichkeit wäre nett gewesen. Zudem hat mein Mann sehr schlecht geschlafen, ihm waren die Matratzen zu fest.

Awful White Spirit smell
Pros:

Hochwertig und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Zimmer.

Cons:

Auf den Zimmeretagen riecht es penetrant nach Testbenzin / Lackbenzin / Terpentinersatz (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) White spirit / essence de pétrole / white spirit désaromatisé (France and elsewhere)
Es war mir schon bei einem früheren Besuch sehr unangenehm aufgefallen, dachte jedoch es war nur an diesem Tag und nur auf meiner Zimmeretage. Bei diesem erneuten Besuch über 2 Tage, wo ich umd meine Frau im 16. Stock und unsere Tochter im 14. Stock untergebracht waren, wurde mir klar dass der Geruch in jedem Stockwerk allgegenwärtig ist! Das ging so weit, dass unsere Kleidung noch Tage danach vom Geruch imprägniert war! Unglaublich aber war.
Zudem kam noch dass unser Zimmer nicht gereinigt wurde; einfach ausgelassen, keine Wasserflaschen..., was wir um Mitternacht als wir zurück kamen nicht mehr reklamieren wollten. Am nächsten Tag beim checkout teilte man uns tatsächlich mit, dass der Zimmerservice intern angegeben hatte, dass unser Zimmer gereinigt wurde! Wiedergutmachung gab es praktisch nicht, lediglich 43 CHF der Minibar abgezogen.
Ziemlich enttäuschend der ganze Aufenthalt...

Super!
Pros:

Das Frühstück war perfekt, die zentrale Lage Gold wert. Man konnte nur der Basel Card kostenlos die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel benutzen.
