Great location i with friendly staff.
Pros:

The room was larger than expected and had a lovely view over the old part of town. The staff were helpful and the room very clean. Basel offers tourists free bus travel and discount to its many museums. We made the most of these offers.

Cons:

The shower could do with modernising as it was small with a curtain.

Anbefales.
Pros:

Flott hotell, vi hadde veldig bra rom.

Cons:

Litt moderat frokost, bra nok, men ikke veldig bra. Gammelt og ærverdig hotell, men ikke så mye "varme" i form av kunst, bilder og annet som kunne gjøre at man følte seg "hjemme". Litt institusjonspreget.

Kar egy szep, kenyelmes szallodaban a szobaba tenni a WC-t…
Pros:

Udvarias szemelyzet.

Cons:

A WC-zuhanyzot egy toloajto valasztja el a szoba belsejetol, tehat az ember lenyegeben ugyanabban a legterben urit.

Pros:

The location, beautiful hotel and comfortable beds.

Cons:

It was a little confusing trying to navigate getting to our room and a few stairs with a lot of luggage. Breakfast was expensive in my opinion, but it was a very good selection.
