Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
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.

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.
