Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
Pros:

Die Lage ist nicht zu toppen - direkt am Rhein, perfekt, um mit den Einheimischen im Fluss schwimmen zu gehen. Und mitten im Herzen des Kleinbasels. Ueber die Mittlere Bruecke ist es 5 Minuten zu Fuss ins Grossbasel, und mit dem Tram gelangt man in 10-15 Minuten zum Badischen Bahnhof.

Cons:

Wir waren am heissesten Wochenende dieses Sommers dort und waeren fuer eine Klimaanlage dankbar gewesen.

Pros:

Πολύ ευγενικό προσωπικό, καλη τοποθεσία.

Cons:

Το ξύλινο πάτωμα στο δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ παλιό και έτριζε σε κάθε πάτημα. Η τιμή είναι πάρα πολύ υψηλή για ξενοδοχείο με δωμάτια χωρίς κλιματισμό και 24ωρη ρεσεψιόν. Το πρωινό είχε πολύ λίγες επιλογές.Ζητησαμε extra σεντόνι και μας είπαν πως δεν διέθεταν..
