The hotel Was nice staff was friendly. Our bathroom smelt like urine. It permeniated the room. The bathroom light was out of service. I did ask the front desk for some spray to clean. Not sure they understood what I was asking. It was kinda gross.

The only reason I’d grant this hotel stay 4 instead of 5 stars is that the bathroom is teeny tiny. The buffet and filtered water stations are wonderful!

The room was spotless and very chic. Its small, so not a lot of room for big luggage. The location was perfect for traveling by train because it's one bus stop away from the train station. Down a few stairs and you're in the charming streets of Basel. I would stay here again!
