Lovely hotel next to the Basel Bad train station
Pros:

Good location next to the Basel Bad train station. Basel hotels also give you a free public transport card for the duration of your stay. The hotel serves you a taylor made breakfast to the taste of your liking.

Cons:

Some distance from the city center, but tram 2 takes you straight there from just outside the hotel.

Pros:

Mise à disposition du pass de la ville

Cons:

Au vu de la note, je ne m'attendais pas à ça. Au dela du personnel du check-in qui finit sa journée (trop) top, il n'y rien dans la chambre d'hotel, aucun mobilier ou presque. Ce n'est pas un style minimaliste comme certains veulent le croire, c'est juste le sticte stricte stricte minimum et sans grande qualité (pour un 4 etoiles). J'ai quitté la radisson pour venir à cet hotel pour une petite différence de prix, je l'ai amairement regretté.
Pas de climatisation
Et le parking qui se trouve non pas à l'hotel, mais à une centaine de mètre, et bien sur aucun endroit pour vider le coffre à moins de 50m de l'hotel, super pratique avec valises et enfants.
