"If it weren’t for the air conditioning issue, it could have been a very good experience."

Good

6.0

The hotel’s location is very good. They sent us the Basel Card by email before we arrived at the hotel, so we didn’t have any transportation problems. The hotel and the room were very clean.

When we entered the room, we noticed that the air conditioning was not working. When we informed the reception, they told us that the hotel was overloaded and therefore the air conditioning was not working properly. Instead, they suggested that we open the window or that they could provide a fan. At first, we couldn’t understand this, because we never expected such a hotel to have this kind of issue, especially during the hot summer months. The fan they provided was a small desktop fan that was completely useless—it couldn’t cool the room at all. We couldn’t sleep for two days because of the heat, and our holiday truly turned into torture. Because of the air conditioning issue, I would not choose this hotel for my next trip. I also do not recommend it to those planning to visit during the summer.

We did have a choice to change rooms as air cond only managed by hotel in the room we had but were able to have a fan which we were not advised of initially at check-in but overheard reception staff telling someone else
