The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and they were able to communicate in English, which was very helpful.
I would like to express my gratitude to Sina and the rest of the staff for their assistance in planning and organizing our last-minute travels.
The hotel provided a delicious breakfast with a variety of halal options.
We experienced a slightly uncomfortable night due to a malfunctioning air cooler, but the staff promptly provided us with fans to alleviate the situation.
Overall, it was a brilliant location, and I would stay again.

Very good hotel. Close to the Basel Convention Center and close to the train stations thanks to bus line 30. The staff is helpful and courteous. I recommend this hotel.

Very good, I have stayed here many times recently, the breakfast is delicious, except for the noisy tour groups, there are no other shortcomings. The room is not big, but it is cleaned every day, very good!

We took our kids to Basel for two days. We took bus 50 from the airport and transferred to bus 30 at Basel SBB to get to the hotel. Bus 30 is right outside the hotel, and bus 14 is a short turn away to get to the city center. Bus 30 transfers to bus 8 to get to the Tri-Border Bridge. The hotel offers a Basel card. The hotel is very new, but I had a room on the street side, and every time a car passed by, it was very noisy when I was sleeping at night. But the facilities and beds were very new and clean. The breakfast was not as rich as other reviews wrote. I think if it is not Sunday, I can choose not to have breakfast in the hotel and eat outside.
