Great stay! Highly recommend. Perfect neighbourhood - walkable to most sights plus great connections to public transport. On site restaurant is magnificent as well including a cute courtyard to enjoy in warmer days. The Junior Suite was very spacious and well designed.

Bijoux in Kleinbasel
Tolles Boutique Hotel mit Bar und Restaurant. Perfekte Lage. Nettes Personal. Bahncard Basel inbegriffen, was Ausflüge erleichtert. Bus zum Vitra Museum vor Ort. Wir würden wieder kommen.

Entspannte Fasnachtstage in Basel
Gut gelegenes Hotel im Herzen von Kleinbasel während den Fasnachtstagen genossen. Vor dem Morgestraich wird Mehlsuppe offeriert. Guter Komfort und Service. Preislich sicherlich an der oberen Grenze.
