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.
