Great location, friendly staff.
Great hotel - was able to let me into my room a bit early which was appreciated. Also upgraded my room as I’m 193cm and the staff said my original room may be a bit small!
Bit of an older style decor etc but clean and functional.
Great location on Clarastrasse, but quiet in room at back.

Stay was pleasant , location convenient.
Hotels .com booking was misleading I'm sure i booked rooms with breakfast but both at check in and when I contacted HDC it not confirmed. With it being an expensive booking over eurovision weekend in basel i would never have booked a hotel without breakfast, so i doubt i'll book with the website again.

A very comfortable hotel, clean, friendly staff. The only thing I would say is they need to update their towels they are very thin.

Good spot in Basel
very good hotel in right spot.
Trams leave almos from the door. Walk to river or to old town is not a big task.
Public transportation is free in Basel if you have hotel reservation. Excellent!

A lovely hotel in the centre of Basel, very close to the airport. Trams and bus stops very nearby, we were also given a Basel card during our stay which meant free travel and discounted prices on several tourist attractions. Local supermarket also close by as well as several affordable dining options. The staff are friendly and always there to help. Will definitely be returning!

An interesting old hotel with charm but a small room. The dining room was nice and the food very good. I ate there every night as there was a good menu and easy to get back to bed after.

The hotel in itself was nice however, on the first floor there is a pot wash and a function room so between the hours of 6pm-11pm all I could hear was loud chatter and plates being washed. Not good if you want a early night!
