The room was excellent and the breakfast was wonderful. For someone travelling by train, the location is amazing as the main railway station is two-minutes walk away. Outside the front door are around ten tram stops, so getting to places like the Fondation Beyeler is easy (Tram 2 then tram 6 in case you're interested).

By far, the best part of this hotel is the location near the train station. The hotel is very well kept and clean. It is very walkable to all parts of the city. The staff was very friendly in all aspect. The hotel bar was convenient as well.
