Perfect location if you have a conference to attend in Basel, but it is also very easy to get to the airport, or either train station from here. I had a large room with en-suite on the 5th floor at the back of the hotel which was quieter than the front, although I could still here some tram noise and also noise from the room on the 6th floor which is in the roof and thus is half above the rooms on floor 5. Breakfast was very basic and the orange juice from the machine was so watered down it was essentially yellow water. I have still given the hotel a top rating overall, but it is not without its faults.
