“Steps from the university and a short walk to Basel's main attractions, the hotel occupies a distinctive historic building near the Spalentor. I noticed the Indian restaurant onsite, a plus, along with the complimentary Basel card granting free public transport. Expect spacious, comfortable rooms equipped with minibars and tea kettles.”
