Everything was excellent except the AC!!

Being a foreigner in Switzerland, I would have liked the TV to be really able to show subtitles. That was nearly impossible to do. The room was wonderfully located and very decently sized. The AC unit in the room was only adequate, and given the unusual heat at that time, an AC unit which could be adjusted would have been preferred. However, I did love the idea of getting away from the hyper-expensive AC systems as an idea.

The hotel completely exceeded my expectations. The room was super modern and stylish (I loved the design details), and little touches like a refillable water bottle and a Dyson air purifier really stood out. The location is also spot on: an easy walk from the train station and close to all the main sights and great restaurants. I’m not sure what anyone could dislike, though to be fair, I was only there for one night… maybe not long enough to find any flaws! 😄 Would definitely stay again.

Lovely hotel with great service

Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The room was cosy with a cool fit out and interesting items. We did have noise problems being next to the lift and the restaurant/bar playing loud music under us until late. The staff did an amazing job relocating us to a quieter room (even when it was fully booked out) and made sure we were happy.

I enjoyed the size of our room. We enjoyed having the privacy of the sauna area one night. The idea of having a coffee station was a good idea with fresh fruit available . At our check in Mika was very helpful pointing out areas in Basel to visit. The hotel is close to the tram service which is also complimentary . We used it a couple of times to explore. Hotel is close to Starbucks and restaurants that are very walkable. I felt I made a very good choice with this hotel.
