BIEN COMUNICADO, ZONA TRANQUILA Y CON SERVICIOS, HOTEL MODERNO Y ADECUADO.
Pros:

El hotel es un hotel bueno, zona tranquila y de descanso, TREMENDAMENTE BIEN COMUNICADO, el autobús 30 te deja en la estación central en unos 15 a 25 minutos dependiendo del tráfico, andando puedes estar en el casco antiguo en media hora, hay otros autobuses y tranvías que se pueden usar para diferentes partes de la ciudad, está a diez minutos de la estación para ir a Alemania, tiene a pocos minutos varios supermercados. El hotel está cuidado y es moderno. El personal es atento. Hay cafetera con cápsulas y te ponen agua de cortesía el primer día, tienes minibar, te reponen el café y las infusiones. La leche y el azucar o sacarina no sé si te lo deberían reponer a diario pero no lo hacían.

Cons:

La limpieza, por tema de idioma no pude explicar bien, que es necesario dedicar algo más de tiempo a la limpieza, y vaya por delante que no quiero decir que esté sucio, ni que al personal se le tenga que reñir por ello, pero sí es cierto que si un día barrían, otro no, vamos que la habitación completa no la hacían nunca, un día no nos hicieron la habitación. Con esto no quiero decir que no se vaya por favor eso no, porque yo en mi casa no barro todos los días, pero en un hotel te esperas otra cosa.

Ideal für den Besuch vom Baseltattoo und Städtetripp
Pros:

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig, grosszügig, frisch.
Die Lage ideal für verschiedene Anlässe in Kleinbasel, aber auch zum Rheinufer.
Die Zimmer sind sauber und schlicht gehalten. Der Grundriss nutzt die Fläche optimal aus.
Zwei Sitzgelegenheiten vervollständigen den Komfort zu zweit.
Garage tip top. ÖV-Haltestellen sind sehr nah.
Extrawunsch, Zimmer beieinander wurde berücksichtigt und perfekt erfüllt.

Cons:

Die Hauptstrasse verursacht in der Hauptverkehrszeit auf der Strassenseite schon viel Motorgeräusche.
Schade, dass die Bar unter der Woche beim Tattoo schon so früh schliesst. sogar vor der angegebenen Zeit,...
Gerne hätten wir noch einen Schlummertrunk genommen.
