Check in by an unfriendly, subtly condescending staff member. Room was on the city side on the first floor above the street. Smokers below on the street caused room to smell like cigarette smoke all night. Noisy room with construction sight directly across a narrow street. Small bathroom. Best part of our two night stay was the beverage center on each floor. Would not recommend this hotel.

Love the hospitality of the staff- friendly, helpful and professional. I just wish they had the door sign requesting privacy- the cleaning staff opened my door twice while I was in my room.

Simplicity, design, quality of everything. Free bikes and friendly staff. The hotel is almost perfect.
The only detail missing is A/C. It is very warm in the summer in the best rooms facing the river.

Comfortable older Hotel. Served our needs. We had the city side room so with the windows open there was noise into the late part of the night.

I stayed in a single room, and I didn't expect it to be so tiny. It doesn't have a closet. If you are a light sleeper you have to know it is noisy. You can hear people from the street, and upstairs neighbours walking.
It is very well located, everything important is walking distance. A bus station that takes you to the train station just 1 min away. The staff is very nice. They have tasty snacks and coffee in every floor.

We had the premium room on the roof with a huge bathroom and bathtub. Room was always the right temperature with a big covered balcony. No minibar/fridge but had a coffee machine and hot water maker in the room
Parking was a bit difficult but the staff went above and beyond to figure it out for us. Very close to all of downtown Basel. Small, very basic breakfast for 20cfh per person is not worth it but all in all very nice quiet hotel on the water. Once again, amazing staff.

Great smaller hotel right on the Rhine River in Basel with perfectly located within a short walk to the old town and many attractions. During our stay the annual Christmas market was just outside which was quite fun but did make accessing the hotel require a block or two walk with our luggage. We enjoyed a penthouse suite which didn't have much of a view but was spacious, clean and very quiet for a restful night's sleep. We'd certainly consider a return visit.

The room was not clean at all. Dust in many places, a lot of hair in the bathroom.
There is no fridge, kettle, coffee maker in the room. Instead, they were very proud of their shared facilities and explained how you could sit and read and have a cosy time. However, the "space" is at the stairwell, and our floor had one chair to sit on. There were not enough clean cups and tea spoons, most of the tea canisters were empty. The fridge was crowded by another guest's champagne bottle and take-away box (the fridge was very small and shared by the whole floor).
A few days before our stay the hotel sent an email to let us know that there would be a street party on the weekend of our stay. 1) the email was in german only, so I could only halfway understand it and 2) if I had known sooner than a couple of days before then I would have rebooked to another hotel. As such, there was nothing we could do and the extremely overexcited woman in reception simply offered us some earplugs and advice us that staying in the city is expected to be noisy. And it was :(
The most important advice for breakfast is: Get there early. The first day it took almost 30 min to get a small cup of coffee and the food was not all restocked. Furthermore, it looked rather "worn" since it was a buffet and had had many "hands on it" before us. The next morning we had to get up early for a flight and the breakfast was actually a pleasant experience.

The staff was so helpful and friendly. We had an amazing view of the river! There were a couple of things that were an issue: the bathroom was so tiny- you couldn’t do anything at the sink without getting water all over the floor. The toilet was so close to the shower that I kept hitting my leg and knee on it while trying to clean off. I finally learned my lesson and stood sideways and cleaned off. The pillows were so flat that I found folding it up helped the first night. Then, I requested a second pillow which helped a bit. The bed was comfortable, though. The room was a bit too sparse. Overall, a pleasant staff, a decent breakfast (great cup of coffee), and great view of the river but next time in Basel I will probably opt for a different hotel.
