Basel Paper Mill

A very nice place, clean, simple room, everywhere well maintained, friendly helpful staff. Nice garden to have breakfast in and the hotel is in a good location, just outside the city centre (which means it's quiet in the evenings) but only 5-10 minutes' walk from the centre (depending how fast you walk). The location also affects the price, which was very reasonable. The only thing we would have liked to have - in view of the unusually high temperatures - was AC but other than that, wonderful!

Beautiful, comfortable hotel, just a block from the main train station (and a Co-op store in case you want to pick up a sandwich or salad to go). As with all hotels in Basel, you receive a free transportation pass. Easy walking access to the river and Old Town. We boarded a Rhine River Cruise at the Steiger Klybeck Platform 2, and were able to get a tram directly in front of the hotel to get within a 10 min. walk to the dock.

The multilingual staff at the reception was polite, friendly and service minded. The location was perfect to explore the surrounding area by car and bicycle. Also great walking trails.
