“Very good and do NOT skip lunch”

A very simple, clean, and pleasant hotel. The rooms are very simple and basic, but quite decently comfortable. (Beware of a tub-only bathroom: murder to climb in and out of. Ask to switch if you're concerned.) The staff are extraordinarily pleasant and helpful, the grounds and setting are beau… more

A very simple, clean, and pleasant hotel. The rooms are very simple and basic, but quite decently comfortable. (Beware of a tub-only bathroom: murder to climb in and out of. Ask to switch if you're concerned.) The staff are extraordinarily pleasant and helpful, the grounds and setting are beautiful, the free trams swoop you around the city in minutes, and this may be the single quietest hotel anywhere in the universe. If you don't take breakfast, you can still pick up a free croissant in the lobby (wonderful little buttery explosions), but buffet breakfast is served within-rate if you take that. It's mainly in business as a hotel for small conferences, which is how we got there, and very convenient for that. If your conference serves lunch, you are in luck: THE FOOD IS AMAZING. We had three days and none of the Euro-American attendees could stop praising the food. -- So if you're used to the high life in big hotels, this will take some getting used to, but it's worth it.

“Wheelchair accessible room has roll-in shower”

I was confused before I arrived in person, so I will clarify the situation for you. There is an elevator that goes up to the fourth floor. The wheelchair accessible rooms have roll-in showers.

I was confused before I arrived in person, so I will clarify the situation for you. There is an elevator that goes up to the fourth floor. The wheelchair accessible rooms have roll-in showers. There are bathtubs in two rooms on the fifth floor, which requires going up a flight of stairs. We stayed in a room on the fifth floor because it was more important to us to have a bathtub than to have a wheelchair-accessible room. Bonus: the rooms on the fifth floor have air conditioning! There is a shower in the bathroom. There is also a separate bathtub, which is surrounded by rocks. (Why?) The bathtub sides are steep. We found the mattress to be comfortable. The room has a sloped ceiling because the roof is sloped. There are hardwood floors and sky lights. There is also a glass table and a couple of chairs in room 550. We found the front desk staff to be very friendly and helpful. There are various free drinks and fruits (espresso drinks you make, water, and tea; apricots, apples, plums) and other drinks for purchase. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch (closing at 13:30). The garden is nice.

“Solid 3 star hotel”

Stayed 3 nights for a business course. Convenient location only ~ 20 minutes from the Basel airport and walking distance to the town centre. I was a little surprised at how small a single room was. It was reminiscent of a university dorm, single bed, small desk and a TV. En suite wet room with a shower /toilet. The pros: clean room, comfortable bed and uk satellite channels. Also decent WiFi. Staff were professional and polite The cons : small room, not particularly cheap for a 3 star, rather basic breakfast (only hot options were scrambled egg, boiled egg that I could recall)
