    Room was small but cozy and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and staff very kind and helpful. The drinks on each floor were a bonus and so nice after a long day! Surrounding little town was so cute.

    Very easy check-in done online. Nice room and great breakfast. Friendly staff. We appreciate to have received a free transportation card to travel to Basel city. The only thing is that the garage has tiny parking spaces.
