    Pillows could have been a bit more comfortable.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was clean and spacious enough with all amenities needed. Location is very convenient: everything can be reached by foot and there are tram and bus stops right at the corner in case needed.

    The extra bed was not comfortable for an adult. The bar closed very early so could not relax after dinner at the hotel bar and there was nowhere nice nearby.

    Lovely room and shower. Great size of room and facilities.

    The elevator did not work. I had to carry my big suitcase and bag up to the second floor.

    The room was very spacious and comfortable. The design of the room was beautiful and the air conditioner worked great. The breakfast was very good although expensive.

    Nothing!

    Everything! This is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. Beautifully designed with a real modern flair that stands it apart from the run of the mill corporate feel of so many hotels. Spotlessly clean and the attention to detail is outstanding. From lovely glass tumblers in the room as opposed to the ubiquitous plastic water bottle, to the drinks station on each floor where you can help yourself to tea, coffee, fruits and on tap sparkling or still water which you can decant into a glass carafe and take into your room. The breakfast choice is wide and delicious. Recommend the scrambled eggs which are so easy to get wrong in a hotel- superb! The staff are polite, welcoming and efficient. The hotel also provides a free travel card for use on all public transport in Basel during your stay. All in all, a must stay hotel.

    The local church bells ring the time all the night!... Makesure you ask for a room on the other side of the hotel if you are a light sleeper!

    The room was huge and lovely furnishings etc. Coffee/tea making on each floor as well as fresh water and fruit. Breakfast was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    I wasn’t wild about the restaurant. The hostess was pretty rude and said I could only have one course because of booking but it was less than 1/4 full by the time I left. I thought the food was so-so.

    The design of this hotel was gorgeous. the pictures don’t do it justice because the texture of materials and use of wood made it extra special. it was a delightful room.

    We stayed in a Corner Room. Oddly there is a porthole window on the bathroom door making for potentially awkward encounters if you are not staying there alone. Also, you could hear water dripping in the bathroom above but I don’t know where it’s was going. 1st floor is loud in the morning if you are facing the ally way.

    Very stylish rooms in a beautiful historical building. The staff were lovely and helpful. I would definitely stay there again just not in the same room type.
