Check in was very slow. They blamed staffing shortages, but room was nice. Food and drink was extremely overpriced, even by notoriously expensive Swiss standards. I’ve traveled throughout Switzerland for 5 years. It was high. So stay away from the hotel restaurant and you’ll be ok

If you want a fancy hotel that will charge you a fortune, this is not the place for you. But if you want a hotel that's very well located (5 minutes by bus from the airport), lovely staff, always friendly and happy to help, great food, with easy free public transport to the centre of town, this is your place. We couldn't be happier with our choice of a hotel and I highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our stay especially the clean rooms and wonderful breakfast buffet. It was a convenient place to stay before we departed on a river cruise from Basel. The staff was very friendly and didn’t mind speaking English. The casino was a fun distraction and there was an ATM machine that made it easy to get cash before embarking on our cruise. Unfortunately, the hotel’s shuttle was not available when we arrived at the airport even after calling two days in advance and calling again from the airport as we were instructed by the hotel. The taxi fare for the short ride from the airport to the hotel was very expensive given the distance of only 4.2 km / 2.6 mi.

Very personable helpful staff. Fabulous breakfast. Very red color lobby. Fantastic airport and airline themed property. Casino is connected, if you’re inclined to gamble.
