I didn t know i needed some adaptators for my big european plug - but that is not directly related to the property. Having a free available adaptator in the rooms could be a great feature to add.

Great building / environement. Very kind and friendly staff. Room was cute and the view is nice!

There was a large heavy sliding door to the bathroom which was difficult to close.

Quirky hotel with charming original features. The staff could not have been more helpful and the hotel is right in the centre of the old town, despite this it’s a little oasis of calm

I found the bed a little short as I am tall but that would not stop me from staying again which I would if staying in Basel.

Location was excellent. Right in the heart of the old town. Food was superb in a delightful restaurant. Lovely and helpful staff. In better weather the terrace would be great. I really enjoyed and would stay again

The hotel was adjacent to a church and a music museum and the surroundings were calm. The room was exactly as shown in the photos and was nicely and clean. I stayed alone and was able to rest comfortably on a wide bed with a good firmness mattress. The shower had hot water. The heating was off, probably because it was the beginning of March, but I turned it on as it got cold at night. It was nice that it warmed up quickly. The hotel is located at the top of a gently sloping staircase path, but you can also take the lift. Check-out was 11am, which gave me enough time to explore the centre in the morning, have breakfast and then return to the hotel. Highly recommended!

Meals at the hotel are on the expensive side. We opted for breakfast in the city - just a couple of blocks away. There are plenty of wonderful options for lunch and dinner as well.

The elevator near the front desk led to the Christmas Markets just a block away. Also, one block away was the tram in and out of the city - it could not be easier to get around. And we were provided with Basel Cards that covered all transportation for the enirety of our stay. The front desk people were very helpful, directing us on where to go.

No big choice for breakfast & only 1 egg per person. The mattress was a bit too hard.

Location is very good and the staff are very friendly. It was clean and quiet. Also they gave me a Basel card, which gave me a 50% discount in museums and free public transport. Amazing

The hotel is very pleasant, the atmosphere and decoration of the restaurant are great, our room was overlooking Basele and had a view of the Christmas markets. The breakfast was very sufficient. The employees are friendly. You can reach the hotel from the street by elevator directly to the reception. Do not give up booking this hotel because of the stairs.

Historical, unique place, very nice location

Very convenient location, friendly staff, good breakfasts, hotel provides free bus cards, tasty coffee and tee are waiting at every floor. As the hotel is in the old building we were little bit worry about utilities, like weak water pressure or problems with sewerage, ventilation (common problems with old building). But no, there weren't any problems with that, everything works perfectly.

I liked the old world charm, but with an updated bath And elevators. The elevator down to the street shopping area is fantastic.

Narrow or very narrow beds in the 2 bedroom is not really confrontable

is an historic building and a classic place in the middle of an 800-year-old city. Building may h ave over 500 years and is off course well renovated preserving the original architecture

There was no tea/coffee making facilities in our room which was disappointing. The TV reception was poor with limited UK broadcast except for news Chanel’s.

The location, the staff were great, room was comfy and large, the shower was hot and powerful. The breakfast was good, with buffet and choice of freshly made eggs. Arrived early and left our bags and on leaving was also allowed to leave them while we went for our last walk around the City.

nothing I can think off

Our room on the top floor was excellent. We had a great view of the nearby church lit up at night it was excellent. The bathroom was great and the room we had was spacious. Having an elevator in the building was a bonus for getting our luggage up to the room.

There wasn't much we didn't like. Initially it was fairly difficult to find, but once we found it, it was easy to locate!

Hotel staff were very good, knowledgeable, and very helpful. If we needed information on where to eat, or setting up our wifi, they were there to help! The most comfortable bed I've ever slept on!! Great location for sight seeing, and shopping!
