10/10

Excellent location / friendly staff / good room / older hotel but well maintained / comfortable bed / included a ticket for public transport during the stay which i think is a great idea / we had a room towards the front therefore it was a bit noisy from the Trams in front of the hotel but that did not bother us.

Very conveniently located across from the train station and local metro trains and buses. Staff was welcoming. Rooms was roomy and clean. Televisions are not ‘smart’, can’t stream. Cleaning staff was not through for daily cleanings, left dirty glasses and didn’t refill hand wash.

Fantastic location, one block from train station. Two blocks from Hertz to drop off the car. The local street car was out front and a quick 2 stops to the Christmas market. Staff was kind and knowledgeable! There is a bar on lobby floor to play games on large table. A big five star experience!

It is a good railway station hotel convenient for a traveller's stay and for getting around by tram and, apart from the period over Baset Art Messe, modestly priced for Basel if one books far enough in advance.
