Great location. ##### Byong Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mark May 24, 2025 Basic functional room, the one pillow had no support. ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### John May 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Very functional, and only or a business trip or if you are poor - the room was relatively cheap. There is merely sleeping and washing provision, and a hot drinks machine and a croissant for breakfast all automatically dispensed from a sitting out area three floors below - there is no kettle in the room so no hot drinks on hand; there is no mini bar. - there is no reception staff on location. The hotel is clean; the room was a single room, as it had a great view of Basel across the Rhine - I suspect I was given this room by accident, as it would have been good for a romantic stay had it had reception and in room facilities; perhaps I got this room in error, as checking in was all done remotely.; ##### John Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Francisco Jun 8, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities My self checkin didn’t work. The code didn’t work, i couldn’t reach anyone by phone or email for hours and i have to check into a different hotel, now i’m struggling to get a refund for the room i paid in advance and they did not provide access too. Their costumer support is not being helpful. ##### Francisco Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Balthazar Jun 10, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I have been there before, i don’t know what this new management is thinking by ruining what was otherwise a charming hotel in Basel, with a real breakfast by the river. Now it’s self checkin with no staff at some hours and a police station looking room that offers croissants for breakfast - and yet, the price stays the same if not higher!!!!!!! Forget about this hotel. ##### Balthazar Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gregory Nov 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, amenities The self-check in was a mess. Wouldn't accept our code. Luckily a German speaking man called the number and helped us. Having no staff on premisses made it difficult to ask questions about the area, restaurants and to call a taxi. ##### Gregory Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chandra Aug 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Very noisy due to club downstairs. Very rowdy patrons. No aircon too. Eventually also did not get the river facing room as requested. ##### Chandra Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Valerie Jun 19, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel should be one of the most beautiful in the city — the view is truly stunning. And yet, the overall experience borders on unacceptable. During the busy Art Basel week, while we are paying $700 per night, there wasn’t even a staff member to welcome us — just a screen at the entrance. Naturally, the system didn’t work, so we had to call someone just to check in. But how is it possible that, in 2025, a hotel in the south doesn’t have air conditioning? Just a sad little fan? The room was stiflingly hot — completely inappropriate for the season. The furniture and decor seem stuck in the 1980s or 1990s. There’s been no attempt to update or refresh anything. Even a few simple museum posters could have brought a touch of charm or cultural relevance — but clearly, no effort was made. The mini-fridge barely worked, which made things worse given the heat in the room. The hairdryer was useless — more of a relic than a functional appliance. The breakfast area was dreadful — dirty, depressing, and entirely uninviting. And at check-out? No proper luggage storage. Only six lockers for the entire hotel, while most guests had large suitcases. Completely inadequate. Hotels in Basel seem to take their guests for granted, assuming that Art Basel alone is enough to justify high prices and poor service. But they’ve already lost the watch fair — if things continue like this, the art fair could be next. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9a66348c-f356-4556-9d33-e1caa91fdef6-1750342784793.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/87f67721-584c-417b-a747-db9220a82710-1750343141519.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/133d7ec1-63af-4f66-9276-99ca700ec097-1750343150287.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Valerie Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael Nov 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities The check in experiance was a trainwreck. I had to call the help voice line and it took time to find my reservation. The room refrigerator was broken. There was no bar soap. No in room coffee or tea. The bed was comfortable and the view was to die for! Mixed bag, caused alot of anxiety. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/92205aeb-62ce-4019-85f3-ff73f33b51fb-1762946098767.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cathy Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property has NO staff. (except a maid) That was a bit confusing at first. Although at the time of booking it does state that there is no manned check-in, it is not clear how to check in until you actually arrive. We didn't know if you could even get into the building, but you can. (not sure of "after hours" because after a certain time of night, you must use your keycard to enter) There are 2 check in terminals that you enter your information into and then you load your keycards yourself. There are also good sized, lockable, luggage storage cabinets available in the lobby in case you arrive before your room is ready. We requested and received a river view room. It was a great view but was a bit noisy into the late night due to restaurants and foot traffic. Closing the window helped a lot. It was a great location-tram was just outside the building, old town area was very walkable and you can walk up and down the river on a great, paved sidewalk. I would recommend the property. I only gave "Staff and Service" a 3 star rating because there really is no one that you see! ![View from our room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/38149d04-342f-4a23-a7cc-aabc33a9fa65-1760975184882.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Basel Minster Cathedral view from our room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2c8627f8-2129-4ea5-b853-f44768b53614-1760975226551.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cathy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Cecelia Sep 17, 2025 Zu einer Aufenthalt kam es garnicht - wurde einfach nicht auf Email-Anfragen - weder von Expedia, noch von mir persönlich - reagiert. Datumsänderung sollte vorgenommen werden gegen Gebühr, dazu kam es garnicht. Musste meiner Reise in die Schweiz deswegen abbrechen, aber bezahlen soll ich das Hotel, die ohne Rezeption ist am WE und nur mit Code zu betreten wäre. Das lasse ich so nicht stehen. Der Fehler lag nicht an mir - gab reichlich Zeit das Datum zu ändern, nur wenn keine Reaktion vom Personal kommt- wie hätte ich da reinkommen sollen an dem Sonntagabend. Eine Schande!

Wir hatten eine Junior Suite zu dritt, das Zimmer war leider sehr klein, aber der Blick war phantastisch! Es ist ein Self Service Hotel, zum Frühstück gibt es nur Gipfeli, die aber super lecker sind! Außerdem kann man sich den ganzen Tag an Tee und Kaffee bedienen. Also insgesamt doch ganz gut und Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis passt auch. ##### Kerstin Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Iwan Rudolf Apr 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Das Hotel ist gut. hotel.com ist eine Katastrophe.

Als ich eingecheckt war, hatte mein Zimmer keine Badewanne. Ich kontaktiere das Hotel. Jegliche Hilfe wurde abgelehnt. Alles muss über Expedia gehen. Also kontaktiere ich Expedia. Zimmerwechsel: Nein. Bezahlter-Zimmerupgrade: Nein. Stornierung? Nein. Ich fand es sehr "komisch" als das "Hotel" mir über Expedia mitgeteilte dass es keine Zimmer mit Badewanne hat, aber dann aber zirka eine Stunde später sah, dass mind. 8 Zimmer mit Badewanne als "frei" buchbar waren..... Ich war/bin sehr enttäuscht. Nicht nur denke ich, dass ich angelogen wurde, sondern Preis/Leistung stimmt nicht, nur ein Kopfkissen, dünne Wände, weiche Matratze, komplizierter Check-in, alter Lift, usw. Dieses "Hotel" benötigt eine Grundsarnierung! ##### Lukas Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Narang Jun 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### 짐 보관 불가. 좋은 전망. 발코니 리버뷰라 전망이 좋습니다. 다만 다리 옆이고 레스토랑이 1층에 있어서 조금 시끄러울 수 있습니다. 프론트에 직원이 없습니다. 그래서 체크아웃 후 짐 보관이 안 됩니다. ##### Narang Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alan May 13, 2024 Best duur voor de prijs kwaliteit verhouding.
