Novotel Basel City
Excellent location. 11 min walking from the train station and 5 mins with the tran num 11. The city center is at 10 min in the tran 15, the stop is a just in the corner of the hotel. My only complain, the sofa bed was horrible, cool (leather) and small. Sugestión: pillow-top or extra duvet.
