Solides Hotel beim Bahnhof SBB Basel
Pros:

Lage sehr zentral beim Bahnhof SBB Basel. Wir sind spät aus Madeira in Basel gelandet und waren ca. um Mitternacht im Hotel. Wurden sofort freundlich empfangen. Schönes altehrwürdiges Hotel in Basel. Tolles Frühstück.

Cons:

Im Zimmer gab es keine Mineralfläschli oder Minibar. Fand ich etwas seltsam in einem Hotel dieser Kategorie. Bis wir dann lesen konnten dass es in einem Zimmer beim Lift Wasser gibt. Musste also durch den ganzen Gang um Wasser zu holen. Fand ich jetzt etwas mühsam um 1 in der Nacht. Es war eine Nacht auf Samstag und leider recht laut beim Bahnhof. Viele Leute und die Trams. Hört man auch mit geschlossenem Fenster relativ gut.

Kommen wieder.
Pros:

Lage wenige Schritte vom Bahnhof entfernt, ideal für ÖV-Benutzer ( SBB )
Frühstück fein, schöne Auswahl, sehr gute Brote.

Cons:

Im alten Trakt knarzen die Holzböden etwas stark.
Da die Tramhaltestelle vor dem Haus ist, rumpelt es lange in der Nacht und wieder am Morgen Frühstück einem aber nicht stören, da ideal, keine langen Wege zu den Trams.

Un passage sans souci dans un cadre confortable et harmonieux.
Pros:

L’accueil, l’emplacement

Cons:

Le matin une odeur de bacon se répand dans tout l’hôtel et jusque dans les chambres. C’est le seul petit problème.
