Great Location and service

8.0 / 10.0

The location was excellent. Check in and out was painless.The room and bathroom was clean. The pillow was very thin and when in use it was virtually useless. The windows were over looked by a glass side lift and corridor windows which meant that the curtains had to be shut, normally not a problem but there was no ceiling light. Shower was also on the dark side as only a mirror light was there. No bedside charging was a bit of a nuisance. Breakfast was fine, cereals, cold meats,coffee and juices. Lunch outside was good with views to the river.

The room was very clean and the staff were pleasant. We stayed in a room with an elevator view. I would recommend getting the street or river view so that a window can be opened.

Would stay again.

Check in/out easy. Breakfast was good. Staff helpful. The hotel is older-floorboards in our room had rough areas, hot water shower control didn’t work well, couldn’t switch between showerheads. Body lotion, liquid body/hand soap provided, but no shampoo. Towels are very thin. There is construction,with a crane, outside window but that was ok. City nice to explore & the Basel City card from hotel provides free public transport

Thoroughly enjoyable. Excellent location. Friendly m, helpful staff

8.0 / 10.0

We arrived on a Sunday, please bear in mind the kitchens closes early on a Sunday. We got so busy that we didn’t notice it was close to 9pm and we missed out on dining. The only criticism that I have is the pillows. We only got one each and was lacking volume. The staff were so nice & friendly. Breakfast was included and it satisfied our hunger. We love the location. Thank you.

The hotel was in an excellent spot overlooking the Rhine, and the restaurant downstairs was lovely. Our room was also great, situated in great city. Would recommend

When we arrived the area was not well lit. One night we were locked out and had to go into a bar and ask for help getting in. They were helpful to get us into our room.

10.0 / 10.0

Brilliant location by the river with food options onsite, and nearby transport options. Lots of character a little noisy at night due to being above bars on riverside. Must be one of the best places to stay in Basel.

5.0 / 10.0

Great location, nice view over the river, friendly staff, check-in and out is easy and smooth.

6.0 / 10.0

This is a very hard review to write because the hotel was lovely. This is a great place for someone that wants to party into the night and then crash in their comfy bed. We were very happy with our peaceful room overlooking the Rhine River. Located right along the river walk for a lovely stroll, close to old town and shopping. We were there for the Christmas Markets and reserved a couple of extra days to explore Basel at the end of our River Cruise. Everything was perfect until 9pm rolled around and the club below the hotel started pounding music that was near impossible to get to sleep to. Even noise cancelling headsets didn't work as the walls were vibrating with dance tunes. We got very little rest especially on our last night then heading out to an overseas 14 hour journey. Not ideal. Breakfast was excellent, the staff were excellent. The place is also located along the Christmas Market party block - lots of folks enjoying a good night out. The club below with booming music was the problem.

4.0 / 10.0

The location of the East-West Riverside is amazing. Very convenient to many of Basel's tourist areas and has beautiful views of the river. It's clean, and well-kept with modern furnishings and decor. There was a small Christmas market (just food and beverages) right outside the front door of the hotel that we really enjoyed (early December). Breakfast was good but minimal, like an American continental breakfast. Only 2 complaints: flat pillows and the room was always too hot. We kept a window cracked open much of the time. But the pillows were an issue. They only give you one per person but it was so flat it's like not having one at all. I would highly recommend, just bring your own pillows.

The room was VERY small and not the best lay out No temperature control in the room only a fan

Great Location, Great service and Breakfast. Hotel is old but very clean. It was comfortable but was a bit noisy due to all the trams running by. We did sleep pretty well anyway :-) Very walkable to old town :-)

Just lovely

When we checked in to our rooms, we were not happy that we were put in an inside room with a view of the elevator, we had booked canal view. We were immediately moved to the rooms we booked and had a wonderful stay!

4.0 / 10.0

I got a room with windows inwards to the elevator and it felt a bit claustrophobic not to be able to see out and open the window- But, it was so so quiet and relaxing without any noice from the outside world. So I was happy ! (I was offered to change if I wanted)

5.0 / 10.0

We booked just a layover before a river cruise but would LOVE to come back again. Great loxation, amazing canal views, walkable to Old Basel. Food and staff were great!

5.0 / 10.0

East West was a super location with a lovely room overlooking the river by the main bridge. Room was a good size and well equpped. Sadly no A/C and it was a very hot weekend, so just the fan was not enough! Also, forgot but swiss hotels dont hsve tea/coffee making facilities which is a shame as well

The location was excellent in all respects. There was neighborhood noise on the street side from bars and restaurants and construction. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

4.0 / 10.0

This hotel is VERY minimalist. No air conditioning. No comfortable place to sit. No coffee in the room. No help at the front desk after 3:00 pm. The restaurant and bar closed at 7:00 pm. The front door is locked at 8:00 pm so you must walk around back and use your room key to get in. The location is good and right on the river, very walkable to everything. Employees were nice.

8.0 / 10.0

Great central location. Clean and well kept. Old building is well maintained and has a nice rustic vibe. River view makes for a great atmosphere, but adds a bit of noise, which we enjoyed, but some may not.

5.0 / 10.0

It is a 5 stars -3 stars hotel. Nice staff. Continental breakfast- very well located in the center and nearby public transportation ( transport is free ). It is clean and very good for a three stars. A bit thin pillows, but overall very good!

Quaint hotel, restaurant with seating by the river, quiet and comfortable

8.0 / 10.0

A perfectly pleasant little hotel. It has a lively location, which may or may not be a bonus depending on your bed-time; and air-con would have been nice - but that's not a deal-breaker. I'd certainly recommend it.
