    The beds could be a tiny bit more confortable.

    Perfect location, amazing breakfast, very clean, kind and helpful staff. The decor is very chic and cool, not at all boring or obvious.

    Thankfully I’ve come across “Rheinschwimmen” activities and the hotel was kind to give water proof bags to join. It was a very beautiful experience, thank you once again 🙏

    Enjoyed my stay

    It was our 14th wedding anniversary and Krafft team got us a bottle of wine and left a well wishes note for us. It was a memorable surprise for my wife. Thank you Krafft Basel.

    I thought that our room would have a view on the river, when it actually didn't, and this wasn't clear to me at the time of the reservation. Still, it remains quite a detail and did not have any impact on our well being in the hotel!

    The staff was very friendly, welcoming, efficient and helpful. They are the ones who make the difference between just a stay in this nice hotel, or a stay that you enjoy and will remember. Breakfasts are very good, quite above any typical hotel-breakfast. Rooms are clean, spacious and confortable. The hotel itself is super well located both at the center, and nearby public transports.

    I was there in Summer, midst heat wave, which makes the room temperature very hot. Not all rooms have AC. Luckily my room was provided with a fan to reduce the temperature.

    I like the legacy of the hotel, one of oldest hotels in Basel. Also, loved the view into the river , and the location, by the river.

    The breakfast is not worth the Fr.29 and the service was a bit slow.

    I love that it is so close to the Rhine. It is a nice property with coffee and snacks for the room. The room had big soft pillow, which is very uncomfortable for me, but they very quickly provided enough pillows.

    Lovely old style hotel, with friendly staff and location was ideal.

    The only issue we had was the heat. The hotel very kindly provided a fan in the room - nothing more they could've done to make it more comfortable but it was still 29 degrees through the night with the fan on.

    The room was very spacious, the hotel itself is in an ideal location. They provided a waterproof bag so we could enjoy a swim in the Rhine - which was a lovely touch considering the heat in Switzerland during our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Brilliant hotel and staff, would stay here again.

    No air con (common in Switzerland) so in peak summer it was incredibly hot in the room at night. The staff were great and provided a second fan for us which worked wonders the second night.

    Incredible location overlooking the Rhein River. Beautiful big room, everything very clean and tidy. Great facilities. They provide a waterproof bag so you can float down the river.

    The room was extremely small, with a single bed. It reminded me of a college dorm room, or a high end hostel
