AI Summary
The location near the Rhine offers beautiful views and easy access to the city center. Guests appreciated the modern, clean rooms and satisfactory breakfast. However, some found the pillows inadequate and beds uncomfortable.

What we liked best was the location. Very near the tram stop and overlooking the Rhine River. The Room was of a decent size and very clean. We arrived early and the receptionist was kind enough to give us an early check-in. The next day we left early morning and they gave us a packed bf too. The only minus point would be the noise from the streets but guess that's because ours was a Friday night. I would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you for a comfortable stay.

My room was on the 3rd floor, overlooking the street. Soundproofing was excellent. It was very quiet and I heard no noise whatsoever from neighbouring rooms or from the very popular bar located about 25m down the street, The room was large, with a table and chair and an easy chair. The bed was comfortable, but my personal preference would have been for 2 pillows, not one. The shower was very good and hot water almost instantaneous. There were power points on both sides of the bed, The buffet breakfast was good, with bread, croissant, a variety of cheeses and meat slices, yoghurt, dried fruit, cereals and coffee and tea supplied on demand. The location was perfect, with a promenade along the River Rhine at the rear of the hotel, a tram stop 40m away to the Bahnhof SBB, and just a walk over the bridge to the city centre 200m away. I recommend the hotel without any hesitation.

Wonderful location, our room had a view of the Rhine with big, deep windows. We were here in December but I think it would be wonderful any time of the year. The staff was professional and polite. Very helpful! The room was somewhat basic - the bathroom was large and modern. The parquet floors were VERY, VERY squeaky! It was very clean.

Great location by the Rhine, probably great in summer. Short tram ride or walk to old town. Service very good and dinner also very good. breakfast more typically European. Room adequate but not enough pillows and far too soft.

This hotel tries a little too hard to be cool and trendy and loses sight of providing a comfortable stay. The location is great and the staff are helpful. Sadly however a single room has a small single bed. The one pillow given is basically full of air. The sink is in the bedroom space and there’s hardly space for any belongings. No bedside table and if you are expecting to do any work then there’s no desk just a window sill. Also don’t expect any tea, coffee, shampoo or even any water in your room. Breakfast was substandard - nothing hot, just a few bits and pieces. If you need to stay (because the location is great) , make it just one night.

The location of the non resident cafe/restaurant by the side of the river is beautiful. We arrived for a simple evening meal, choosing burgers, pitza and salad. They were short staffed and it took an hour and a half for our food to arrive. The burger had to be returned to the kitchen as it was like leather, a bowl of chips was given by way of apology. Our waiter was muddled though pleasant and said the kitchen made mistakes. He apologised, we only paid for what we ate, after insisting, there was no offer from them.

1. Das Zimmer hat uns überrascht mit der modernen Einrichtung zum alten knarrenden Holzfussboden. 2. Schön fanden wir die weiße Seersucker-Bettwäsche mit der goldfarbenen Tagesdecke in ähnlicher Strucktur, sowie die Zeichnung an der Wand von der Rheinbrücke. Die Betten waren gut zum Schlafen, warme Bettdecken! 3. Den Einbau des Bades in das Zimmer fanden wir toll. Die Schranktür konnte man ganz zuziehen, allerdings musste die kleine Stufe beachtet werden! Im Bad war alles Notwendige vorhanden! 4. Das Frühstück ist in Ordnung. Der Kaffee wird gebracht, man kann nachordern! 5. Das Personal, (3 Personen lernten wir kennen), ist sehr dem Gast zugewandt und erledigt die Bitten des Gastes sofort. 6. Die Sauberkeit ist top! Das Restaurant hatten wir nicht besucht! 7. Die Lage, direkt am Rheinufer und die Nähe zu Tram und Bus ist ideal! 1. Negativ war aber, dass keine kleine Flasche Wasser auf dem Zimmer stand. Das hatten wir bisher in allen günstigen Hotels, wo wir waren, ist einfach umzusetzen und nicht sehr teuer! 2. Man hört im Zimmer Stadtseite nachts die Straßenbahn bimmeln und früh, wenn die Warenlieferung von Manor kommt. Aber für 1-2 Nächte ist es o.k. 3. Der Fernseher zeigte kein ARD, ZDF oder andere üblichen deutschen Sender, nur die Schweizer Sender, Shoppingsender und 3-Sat. Die Umstellung wäre noch in Arbeit, wurde gesagt! Aber für 2 Nächte ging es! 4. Wir mussten am Abreisetag 6.30 Uhr ohne Frühstück das Haus verlassen. Da hatten wir gefragt, ob man im Gegenzug evtl. dafür ein Zimmer zum Rhein bekommen kann. Das wäre nur gegen eine Zahlung von 30 CHF möglich. Kein anderes Angebot wurde gemacht! 5. Da mussten wir den älteren Rezeptionisten bei unserer Anreise wenigstens um ein Lunchpaket für uns beide bitten. Das wurde zugesagt. Wir sollten es im Restaurant abholen. Aber als wir am Abreisetag um 6.30 Uhr nachfragten, war es der Servicekraft nicht übermittelt worden. Ihr war das sehr peinlich! Ärgerlich war es deshalb, weil wir 11 Stunden Zugfahrt vor uns hatten und dann zusätzlich am Bahnhof noch etwas kaufen mussten!

Wir hatten eine Übernachtung unter der Woche zum Besuch des Basel Tattoo in einem Zimmer mit Stadtsicht gebucht. Die Administration ist unkompliziert und effizient, das Personal freundlich. Das Zimmer war klein aber sauber, die Glaswände zum Abtrennen der Nasszelle (Du/WC) zum Zimmer sind Geschmackssache. Das Lavabo ist im Zimmer vor der Nasszelle, Ablagemöglichkeiten beschränken sich auf ein textiles Hängeregal, das an der Schiebetüre zur Nasszelle hängt. Einen Kasten oder eine Garderobe sucht man vergebens. Das Zimmerfenster geht auf eine sehr belebte Strasse hinaus. Das ist mehr ‘Strassensicht’ als ‘Stadtsicht’…. Alles in allem für eine Nacht o.k. aber auch nicht mehr. Die Zimmer mit Stadtsicht sind allerdings sehr laut, und zwar von Morgen 6h00 Uhr bis abends um 01h00, wer Ruhe sucht, ist mit dieser Zimmerkategorie definitiv falsch beraten. Klimaanlage gibt es keine, im Sommer sind die Zimmer schnell sehr warm. Allerdings ist ein Lüfter vorhanden. Das Frühstücksangebot wirft einen nicht aus den Socken ist aber so weit ok. Der Kaffee allerdings für Schweizer Verhältnisse eine Katastrophe. Schön, dass man für das Frühstück im Freien, mit Blick auf den Rhein, sitzen kann. Zum Restaurant-Angebot können wir keine Aussage machen. Positiv ist zu erwähnen, dass die Basel-Card im Übernachtungs-Preis inbegriffen und die Lage des Hotels für eine Stadtbesichtigung ideal ist. Alles in allem, Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis grenzwertig. Für eine Nacht ok, wir würden allerdings die Zimmer zum Rhein empfehlen.
