Pros:

Sehr gute Lage, grosse Zimmer, Regenwalddusche, viel Stauraum, kinder WC Sitz im Familienzimmer. Die Betten waren sauber

Cons:

Ein angegessenes Sandwich lag noch im Kühlschrank vom vorgänger, teilweise war es noch recht staubig vor allem im Bad, es war Recht warm im Zimmer, hatte aber einen Ventilator.. der half aber nur bedingt. Gratis Kaffee gabs unten in der Lobby. Ich hätte mir einen Kaffeeautomaten m Zimmer gewünscht

Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien situé, à proximité de la vieille ville de Bâle et de la gare, accessibles en environ 10 minutes à pied.
Le tramway se trouve également juste à côté de l’hôtel, ce qui est très pratique pour se déplacer facilement dans la ville.

La chambre était spacieuse et confortable. La nôtre donnait côté rue ; nous avons dormi la fenêtre ouverte et il y avait un peu de bruit durant la nuit, ce qui reste tout à fait normal pour un hôtel situé en centre-ville.

Cons:

Rien à signaler
