Cons:

Завтраки очень скудные, и мое окно выходило на улицу где делали ремонт и они начинали делать его в 5 утра. Так же почему-то было одна подушка и очень тоненькая, и прошлось попросить еще одну подушку

Potentiel mais beaucoup de petites choses à améliorer
Pros:

Emplacement, vue et taille de la chambre

Cons:

Lit double divisé en 2 lits simples, le sol qui grince et surtout les murs ne sont pas isolés on entend tout ce qui passe, réveillé par les voisins du dessus à 6h30 du matin

Ci sta per una notte
Pros:

La vista sul fiume e il personale carino e gentile. Anche la colazione.

Cons:

Il bagno era con zero privacy, inoltre non era per niente insonorizzato. Sopra la nostra camera c'era qualcuno che continuava a camminare e sentivo scricchiolare il pavimento dalle 7 alle 9. Anche durante la notte.

Pros:

Die Lage ist topp. Die Altstadt und viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Die Aussenterrasse direkt am Rhein, mit Blick auf das Münster und die Altstadt - toll.
Das Baselticket, das wir an der Rezeption erhielten ermöglichte zudem die kostenlose Nutzung von Bussen und Straßenbahn, und beinhaltete Rabatte für diverse Museen.
Charmantes, altes Haus, und ein gutes Frühstücksbuffet.
