"Find this delightfully placed four-star hotel on the riverfront with sterling views... A superbly central choice, if a trifle noisy on summer evenings."
"In the heart of Basel along the Rhine, a 10-minute walk from the train station... Standard rooms are comfortably furnished; business class, junior suite and suites also available."
