"The hotel is charming (an old monastery that later served as a prison), tucked away atop a hill in the center of the city."
"Getting to the restaurant in the lift through the walls is a special way to enter."
"Also they gave me a Basel card, which gave me a 50% discount in museums and free public transport."

“Staying in a former prison transformed into a hotel presents an intriguing proposition, and this one doesn't disappoint, offering a unique historical ambiance right in Basel's old town. I found its proximity to cultural sites like the Basel Cathedral and the Jewish Museum particularly appealing, with the included BaselCard simplifying city exploration. The promise of a daily breakfast featuring local foods further sweetens the deal.”
