The hotel is very well located for a few days in Basel. We took a day trip by rail to Lucerne and the hotel location was perfect for this reason. Also, the Old Town of Basel is a short walk. The close proximity to the train station was a bonus, but you must expect a little low level noise from the train and buses nearby. This didn't bother us. The breakfast was really good and the wait staff serving were excellent.
