All good.
Everything was good. Room ok,bathroom ok. Breakfast not with huge variety but tasty and fresh. Location very good near tram station just 5 stops to old city and 2 stops from train station. The only negative was the mattress and especially pillows which were very hard.

Disliked: Staff & service
Unfortunately 24 hours prior to our stay, we were stranded by law nearby. We notified Expedia and Novotel Basel City Hotel directly to only be told that that we cannot receive a refund, a credit or change the dates of our stay and we were out of luck. We even have documented proof of being stranded. Terrible service and management by all parties while we suffered for days.
