"Great hotel and very helpful staff, the breakfast was great but didn’t like the dinner at the restaurant although it claims to be a Michelin star. Rooms are spacious and clean, the hotel is at a great location very close to Basel SBB (around 30 minutes by Uber/taxi), the bus is the only public transport available and it’s a bit slow"

"Wonderful dinner @Eckert fine dining. Everything was delicious, beautiful and tasty. We discovered a lot of new flavors! One of the rare places that offer a non alcoholic pairing with the menu. Service was very nice and spoke English. Michelin star well deserved!"

"We went there the first time in quite some time. Both had the full menu + wine journey (pick it if you get the chance, it really lifts the whole evening to another experience). All the courses were delicious and came with perfectly selected wine (and in one case Sherry). Service was spot on, for me exactly the amount of attentivness to the guest. So, we'll be back for sure."

"Our third time here and now are go to en-route from England to Italy. The owner and staff are very helpful. We had the most fabulous meal. The service is excellent and the quality of produce first class. They made sure I could charge my car. Our room was a little warm but we could have got out of bed to open a window! Very clean and comfortable. Nespresso available in entrance."
