Excellent hotel, great location, staff were all amazing, room was great! Highly recommend!
Pros:

We were provided with the late check in procedure details prior to arrival, as we were on a late flight... however here were still staff around when we got there. Check in was very quick and easy. We dropped our luggage in our room and went to the hotel bar for a couple of drinks. Service was great. Our room was excellent, spacious and clean. Location was great for what we needed... we were going to see an exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler which is less than 5 mins walk from the hotel. There's also a tram stop right outside the hotel and the trams are free with a BaselCard so we used the trams to get in to the city centre. Will definitely stay at this hotel again, it was amazing!

Charmant séjour d'une nuit avant la visite de l'expo de Cezanne
Pros:

L'établissement a été rénové récemment avec beaucoup de goût. La chambre a été calme, pas grande, mais bien aménagée. Le Landgasthof Riehen est excellement bien situé pour visiter la Fondation Beyeler que se trouve à 5 minutes de marche. Le petit déjeuner - service à table pour les boissons et buffet pour la nourriture - était juste parfait! A ne pas manquer non plus: le Restaurant du Landgasthof où nous avons très bien mangé le soir.

Sehr empfehlenswert!
Pros:

Der Landgasthof Riehen ist ein sehr angenehmer, lebendiger Ort! Freundliches Personal, schöne, saubere Zimmer. Ruhig. Ausgewählte, geschmackvolle Gestaltung des Ganzen.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war in jeder Hinsicht super!

Cons:

Uns hat eigentlich alles gefallen. Was wir schade fanden, war, dass wir erst um 18.00 Uhr das Angebot der Abendkarte bekommen konnten. Gerade an einem Abend, wo um 19.00 Uhr bereits ein Konzert beginnt, wäre eine etwas „flexiblere“ Lösung erwünscht. Das Essen war aber trotzdem fein!

Pros:

La chambre était confortable et très propre. Elle était dans un bâtiment annexe (vis-à-vis). On reçoit un qr code qui permet d’utiliser gratuitement le tram et d’avoir des rabais dans plusieurs attractions bâloises, par ex le zoo.
Le repas du soir était excellent et le service très sympathique et efficace avec des employés parlant français. A 5 minutes de la Fondation Beyeler.

Cons:

Peut-être faudrait-il donner un plan ou des informations précises pour savoir où stationner à l’arrivée. On ne savait pas dans quelle ruelle s’engager même avec le GPS.
