My stay at the hotel was perfect for a city trip, offering a great panoramic view and amenities like a mini bar, coffee maker, big rain shower, sauna, and lovely staff. The location was warm and provided an ok view towards the rear of the city, giving me more space, luxury, free use of the mini-bar, and access to the executive lounge. However, the view might not be the best but the hotel still offers a convenient location with easy access to trams.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room had a fantastic view over Basel, even though it was small. The bed was comfortable, and everything was clean and nice. The service was very kind and eco-friendly, and they helped us get a taxi to the airport. The location is excellent, with a transportation card provided for public transport, and the hotel is close to both the city center and exhibition halls. The dining spread had a good variety, although the fresh fruit selection could be improved. Overall, a pleasant experience with a few minor areas that could be enhanced.

Upon arrival, the room wasn't ready, but they offered an upgrade for an additional 25€ per night, which made me wonder if it was a little bit of 'upselling. ' The room became uncomfortably hot as the AC wasn't powerful enough to cool it down properly. However, the room was very clean with a large window allowing for some pleasant sunlight, though it was disappointing that I couldn't open the window for fresh air.
