My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were stunning, embodying the historic charm of the hotel with silk wall-coverings and separate shower and toilet facilities. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to ensure a wonderful experience. The location was unbeatable, right on the river and a short walk from Marktplatz, allowing me to dive into the heart of historic Basel. Dining at the two Michelin star Cheval Blanc was a true culinary journey, albeit on the pricier side. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly luxurious.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms, while not overlooking the Rhein, still offered a splendid view of Basel and were wonderfully spacious. I particularly enjoyed the silk wall-covering and drapes, as well as the separate shower and toilet facilities. The presence of a writing room on the first floor was a nice touch.
