The self-check in was a mess. Wouldn't accept our code. Luckily a German speaking man called the number and helped us. Having no staff on premisses made it difficult to ask questions about the area, restaurants and to call a taxi.

Very noisy due to club downstairs. Very rowdy patrons. No aircon too. Eventually also did not get the river facing room as requested.

Ich musste aus medizinischen Gründen eine Badeanne haben und wählte anhand der Foto mein Zimmer. Als ich eingecheckt war, hatte mein Zimmer keine Badewanne. Ich kontaktiere das Hotel. Jegliche Hilfe wurde abgelehnt. Alles muss über Expedia gehen. Also kontaktiere ich Expedia. Zimmerwechsel: Nein. Bezahlter-Zimmerupgrade: Nein. Stornierung? Nein. Ich fand es sehr "komisch" als das "Hotel" mir über Expedia mitgeteilte dass es keine Zimmer mit Badewanne hat, aber dann aber zirka eine Stunde später sah, dass mind. 8 Zimmer mit Badewanne als "frei" buchbar waren..... Ich war/bin sehr enttäuscht. Nicht nur denke ich, dass ich angelogen wurde, sondern Preis/Leistung stimmt nicht, nur ein Kopfkissen, dünne Wände, weiche Matratze, komplizierter Check-in, alter Lift, usw. Dieses "Hotel" benötigt eine Grundsarnierung!

짐 보관 불가. 좋은 전망.
발코니 리버뷰라 전망이 좋습니다. 다만 다리 옆이고 레스토랑이 1층에 있어서 조금 시끄러울 수 있습니다. 프론트에 직원이 없습니다. 그래서 체크아웃 후 짐 보관이 안 됩니다.

I have been there before, i don’t know what this new management is thinking by ruining what was otherwise a charming hotel in Basel, with a real breakfast by the river. Now it’s self checkin with no staff at some hours and a police station looking room that offers croissants for breakfast - and yet, the price stays the same if not higher!!!!!!! Forget about this hotel.
