Located directly by a tram stop, the hotel is a sound, reasonable value (comparatively!) choice for a short-stay city break. Our good-sized room was quiet, comfortable with all necessary facilities. Buffet breakfast was simple but filling with meats, breads, pastries and a welcome coffee to start the day. The restaurant appeared to be limited in its opening. Staff on reception were friendly and efficient. Officially the hotel is just outside the Basel city boundary but its only 7 minutes by the extremely frequent and efficient tram, or a 30-40 minute walk to the city centre via the road or along the River Rhine path. There are a range of restaurants within walking distance.
