Pros:

Tarihi bir binada modern imkanlarla konaklayabilmek çok değerli. Otelin konumu Basel tarihi merkezi için çok iyi bir konumda. Çalışanlar güleryüzlü ve nazik. Kahvaltısı zengin ve çok taze. Orelin kendine ait bir otoparkı yok ama 5 dakika yürüme mesafesinde yer altı parkı imkanı mevcut.

Adorable historical hotel amidst the cafes and shops in Basel began our holiday!
Pros:

The room was very spacious, and had all the comforts we needed. The only difficult part were the stairs throughout the hallways with luggage, but we managed. The location was perfect, and enabled us to walk to adorable areas, and cafes. The breakfast was terrific, and we wanted for nothing at that breakfast bar!

Cons:

The stairs throughout the complex were a little challenging with luggage, but we got it done.

Uma estadia idílica no centro da adorável Basileia.
Pros:

O hotel tem uma localização fantástica para conhecer a cidade. Ficámos num quarto voltado para as traseiras, com uma vista para o casario extremamente agradável. É possível ver e ouvir os passarinhos a cantar e ao longe um coro a ensaiar. Idílico. Quarto espaçoso. O hotel é muito antigo e é um edifício classificado. Os funcionários, principalmente os portugueses, são extremamente atenciosos. E os outros também. O pequeno-almoço também é variado e a sala agradável.

Cons:

Nada a registrar.

leuke plek, maar het hotel is wel heel basic. In Basel heb ik wel eens meer value for money gehad.
Pros:

lokatie

Cons:

Allemaal wel heel basic. Kleine kamer, kleine badkamer (met douchegordijn), ontbijtruimte kan wel wat extra aankleding gebruiken. Bed was zozo lala.
