I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern with a lovely view, but the bathroom was quite small. Having different comforts was a nice touch, and the fact that breakfast was included added value. However, the price seemed a bit high for what was offered.

I found this hotel to be a mixed bag. On one hand, the rooms were spacious and modern, with some snacks provided. I also appreciated the large bathroom and comfortable beds. The cleanliness was top-notch. However, the location was a letdown due to its proximity to the red light district of Basel and the presence of prostitutes nearby. On the bright side, it was convenient to reach the beautiful riverside and the train station for airport transfers. In terms of dining, the Sicilian products offered were a nice touch. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel is nestled in a charming square, a short walk to the river where lovely restaurants await. The rooms are spacious and modern, but there is noise from the district nightlife. The service is exceptional, although the laundry service could be improved. Dining is included with traditional Greek products, which was a delightful addition. The facilities are top-notch with great value for money.

I had a mixed experience staying at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast included some snacks. The service was good and they even offered laundry. However, the location, although close to the center and the river, was in a district with a number of prostitutes nearby. The dining included some cheese but was not impressive. The facilities were decent for the price paid.
