Frommer's Review

Located across the river from the Old Town's Rathaus and Münster, this elegant little mansion is a real discovery. Its terrace cafe and its bedrooms open directly on the waterfront of Basel's right bank. The public rooms are decorated with 19th-century antiques, oversize gilt mirrors, and Oriental rugs. The comfortable, modernized rooms often have good views, and contain Oriental carpets and artwork. All units offer showers, and some contain tub/showers. The Waldmeyer-Schneiter family also manages the well-known restaurant Zem Schnooggeloch (Mosquito's Den) and the Restaurant Petit Bâle, both serving a mix of French and Swiss cuisine.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; lounge; laundry service/dry cleaning; all nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
