Super Zimmer, ruhig gelegen und trotzdem zentral, schönes Frühstück mit nettem zuvorkommenden Personal - Top: 10 von 10 Punkten;
Geburtstagsüberraschung für meine Tochter wurde super und unkompliziert zur vollsten Zufriedenheit umgesetzt; ganz leckere Herz-Bonbons ;-)

Schönes Hotel an toller Lage (Frühstück aber eher wo anders…)
Pros:

Sehr schön gelegen, tolle Zimmer.

Cons:

Leider ist der Frühstücksraum nicht geeignet um ein gemütliches Frühstück einzunehmen!
Hauptsächlich hat es Sofas und Sessel mit kleinen Beistelltischen. Sehr unbequem um zu frühstücken. Das Frühstücksbuffet hat leckere Sachen, ist aber sehr klein - sobald 4-5 Personen am Buffet stehen, hat man keine Übersicht mehr, was das Buffet alles her gibt.

Cons:

Unser Klo hat unsufgefordert dauergespuelt - wir haben dies gemeldet und sofort wurde uns ein neues Zimmer angeboten, top 👍

A very pleasant stay in a beautiful, well-located hotel, although the 24/7 bar would benefit from more staff during
Pros:

A stylish and comfortable hotel in an excellent location for exploring Basel and attending the Basel Tattoo.

Cons:

The breakfast seemed too expensive, and the bar-style seating with low tables and armchairs did not look ideal for eating.
