When you’re on the 8th floor, you need the lifts to work. With three lifts that shouldn’t be a concern, but when only one slow lift is working then that mars the overall experience. Some guests with baggage waiting 10 minutes to get up to their room. The staff on reception were apologetic, but this clearly had been an issue for some time.
The hotel is best suited to those who come by car, and is in an industrial estate.
Be aware that public transportation options are somewhat limited in the immediate vicinity, for example a 20 minute walk to the nearest Basel Tram stop. OK in sunny June, but in the wetter colder months you would likely need to book a taxi.
The food was excellent.
