“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.”
