Self check-in The location is good, in the center of the old city, next to the river. You can walk around the old town! The disadvantage is that there are many people in the bar at night and it is noisy.

The hotel has no front desk and there was a problem with the check-in system. I had to find many people for help and it took more than an hour to check in. The experience was very bad.

The location is excellent, close to Basel's landmark Middle Bridge. Choose a room with a view of the Rhine River and open the window to watch the passing vehicles and pedestrians on the bridge. There is also a gingerbread store next to the hotel, which is super convenient for buying souvenirs.
