Great location. Right across the train station
Carmen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Perfect location for a short break, rooms were clean and well maintained. Staff were super friendly and polite. Our reservation came with a city pass which was very handy to explore the local area!
Stuti, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a great hotel - perfect if being near the main station/transport is important. It’s a very traditional place in terms of decor but everything was immaculate and well looked after - our room was really spacious and even had an exercise bike which we weren’t expecting! The staff were all lovely and super helpful.
Katherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We got a lovely, private room far enough away from the train station to be pretty quiet. We appreciated the air conditioning, robes, and friendly, helpful staff.

mascha, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stay. Only one minor issue — the AC did not provide quite enough cooling. The staff provided a floor fan which met our needs. Would definitely stay here again.
Kevin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely Swiss hotel with atttentive staff. Room was very nice - comfy bed, lots of pillows. The AC worked wonderfully despite temps over 90°F and being on the fifth floor. Great breakfast. Proximity to public transportion was key for our busy, compressed schedule and so easy to use. The BaselPass saved us hundreds of dollars on cabs.
