Guest Reviews:

- "Horrible bed and pillow, would not go there again." - "It was very clean and neat. And the stuff was very kind and helpful." - "I had a lovely private room with bath, I used the kitchen at the YMCA hostel next door. They also stored by bags for me on the day of leaving so could walk around without them. The staff at YMCA were very helpful and there is a small shop/restaurant for snacks and drinks. Totally recommend!" - "Had a really good time at the hotel, it is very modern and clean, the staff are very helpful and friendly, the room I got wasn't as big as the one I thought I had booked, or that was showing on my booking confirmation email, not sure if you they use a generic picture?! The room though was very clean and modern, had wifi, but no TV. There is a communal area where you can cook something if you want, an area to eat and relax, as well as a pool table. You can buy breakfast and it's reasonably priced and very nice! "

Guest Reviews:

- "Seamless check in and out. Great location. " - "Good service and price" - "Lovely hotel very clean but on air conditioning " - "Very noisy due to club downstairs. Very rowdy patrons. No aircon too. Eventually also did not get the river facing room as requested. " - "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.; "
