Very nice hotel, great staff and clean, just avoid being on the road side if you need the window open.
Pros:

Great rooms on the back of the property. Very clean, very nice staff. Breakfast was nice, Ideal for going into town with the tram.

Cons:

First night had a room on the Main Street, even though we had booked a comfort room on the rear. It was very loud with the window open, But the hotel did change this the next morning and gave a free breakfast as an apology.
No refrigerator in the rooms.

Pros:

Prostorný pokoj, dobrá snídaně Mobility pass na tramvaj se zastávkou před hotelem, 10 min do centra Basileje.Bezplatné parkování.

Cons:

Během našeho pobytu dosahovaly teploty 35 stupňů, a v ppkoji bylo bohužel strašné horko, nedalo se tam spát. Vzhledem k tomu, ze obec nepatří pod Basilej, nemohli jsme získat výhodu slev na vstupy v rámci BaselCard.
