Close to transport links and good breakfast.

Hotel was close to the train station and bus back to the airport. Breakfast room on the top floor was good for choice of food and views. One of our rooms had a strange smell when we arrived but it faded over time.

Basel 3 night stay

Stayed for 3 nights as a city break. Location is ideal next to train station making it easy to walk everywhere/jump in public transport. Hotel was clean with good room sizes. When we arrived reception was unmanned with only an automated machine to check in (which felt very impersonal & made thing feel more painful than needed for "weary travellers who'd just arrived in the country"). Room temperature was our main issue as it fluctuated up and down wildly making sleeping difficult - and this was centrally controlled with no option to adjust heat within our room (and nothing reception could do). Breakfast selection and quality was acceptable.

Ideal place for proximity to the train station and the room is very comfortable. No staff at reception which makes it feel less secure. Check in is self service but easy. No Wi-Fi in rooms, only in lobby.

Great stay, excellent location next to train station but facing away from crowded area. Directly next to tons of transportation - which is free for tourists! Breakfast was nice in gorgeous panoramic dining room. To clear up the piece about the dual front desks - the hotels are CONNECTED -its a 10 second walk to the other hotel. I didn't have the need to do so. Very happy with stay, will be back for sure.
