Beautiful and quiet but too hard bed
Beautiful space, quiet, excellent shower, but the bed was way too hard and the 1 pillow provided too flat, which made the sleep less than great.

Excellent hotel in a great location. Complimentary Basel card, which allowed me to ride public transit for free and gave significant discounts on most museums.
