It's a lovely place to stay. Nice rooms, good bed, really tasty breakfast. Not in the city center, but it is a small city so you don't notice. The staff is really helpful and the spaces and the rooms are clean. Even the bathrooms are clean, and the showers are good enough to bring your things with you. Also, they give you a city card, so you don't have to pay for public transport and you get discounts on different places around the city.

We stayed in the two-bedroom apartment for a week as we prepared to leave Switzerland after 17 years. It was a bitter-sweet time for us, but we were immediately at ease when we checked in. The apartment was spacious, clean and fully stocked. Everything one could think of was at our disposal. Kai is a thoughtful host and if we needed anything we just needed to message him and he was ready to help. The location is fantastic with two tram lines just a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Supermarkets and restaurants are all around. For an expensive city like Basel this guesthouse is a real find.

This hotel offers ultimate luxury from start to finish. The style is traditional, everything is impeccably maintained, and the entire place is spotless. The staff were exceptional, always greeting us with a smile and being incredibly helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious, the cocktails were perfect, and the breakfast, cakes, and other treats were outstanding. Our room was extremely comfortable and very quiet. Every piece of furniture and every detail had clearly been thoughtfully considered and was in perfect condition. They provided robes, slippers, shoehorns, an umbrella, and more. The welcome treats included fresh fruit, chocolates, and a little Eurovision-themed cake. In the evenings, they tidied the room for turndown service, closed the curtains, and neatly arranged our belongings. The corridors were carpeted with a thick central runner, which meant we never heard anyone passing by, even though the hotel was fully booked. We were also given a jar of hotel jam to take away with us and we can't wait to try it. If you’re considering this hotel and can afford the price tag, you will not be disappointed. Book it.

I've spent a night in the room, as i was traveling for work, and i needed to buy some personal stuff, and Isan (the person who receives you) helped me a lot about where i could find good stores and good prices around the area as she is a local. She's very friendly, and you get a surprise gift after leaving the place!! I would reserve a room again if I'm around.

    The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

    This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
