Nice scenic view from my room. Street noise was a bit too much at night from bars nearby. They offer free bicycle rentals, which is great for exploring the area.

Just a prime choice for a weekend vacation in Basel with fantastic value. The hotel was super clean, and I loved the treats in the hallway like gummies and chocolate. Opt for a room facing the river for a quieter stay.
