Great hotel; very odd location

The interiors and room quality is excellent. However the hotel is in a shopping and restaurant centre so it feels very odd and there is a great deal of external noise. Our very large window looks out on to a service yard... That said the location in town is good, so fine for a one night stopover.

Lovely hotel in centre of Basel. Nice staff, nice breakfast (extra) and free mini bar (not re stocked during stay which was a shame). Only irritation - very noisy of a weekend as hotel is right on Main Street on top of bars. Woke on Saturday night / Sunday morning by a brawl outside window. To be fair hotel make you aware of risk of noise - but only after you have booked it. Nice place tho and very pleasant rooms and very comfortable with pleasant open plan design.

When I booked this property, it was classified as a 4star hotel. This place is less than 3. The pictures in the website with the terraces are very deceiving. There’s only one in the top bar. This Place is extremely loud and I was not able to sleep. The reception area is smaller than my living room and guests’ rooms are right off this area (lack of privacy when entering/ leaving the room). They state on the website that they have laundry facilities. They do NOT. They have a laundry service which charges per piece. They should clarify that in the website. Laundry service is very different than laundry “facility.” We had prepaid over $300 per night for two days; however, the place was so disappointing that we decided to leave after only one night, forgoing the $300 for the second night and leaving town early to find a true 4star hotel. I would never stay in this place again.
