Situation idéale pour visiter le vieux Bâle.
Pros:

L'emplacement était idéal pour visiter le vieux Bâle. La chambre côté Rhin était très belle, propre et confortable.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner était bon mais je m'attendais à plus de choix, notamment en salé. Le pain était très bon. Au vu de l'emplacement, risque de nuisances sonores, notamment le soir.

A good place to stay close to the town center overlooking the Rhine River
Pros:

A good place to stay in a historic Hotel close to the town center overlooking the Rhine River
Good breakfast and helpful staff.

Cons:

It was a bit noisy the night we stayed as it was festival time with bands marching around the area and Hotel location, they did stop just after 10pm so no late night issues.
