I am not good at writing reviews, but this hotel deserves one. The whole hotel was very new and clean, the staff was super super nice, delicious breakfast and the best hotel fitness I have ever used. At first I saw the hotel was near a big street, but the rooms was faced to the other side and the location turned out to be amazingly close to the town area with restaurant ect. I will book it again next time I come to Basel :-)
