“The location in the heart of Basel places guests steps away from the Marktplatz, with easy access to the city's cultural attractions. Rooms have artistic touches, and the rooftop terrace offers striking city views; from my perspective, it's a sophisticated choice for those wanting to immerse themselves in the city.”

the location was excellent. it was very convenient to walk around, and many trolley bus lines were just in front of the building. the hotel was nicely decorated with a modern design (i loved the minimalist aesthetic).
i found there to be a lot of noise. the staff tried to find a quiet room, but it was still noisy (i am a light sleeper).
