Rooms are simple, but far from spartan – with flat-screen TV, free WiFi and a courtesy tray with coffee/tea fixings.

Couldn’t-be-better location right at the entrance to the wine(!) route(!). Vosges mountains are also right(!) there(!) or pretty close anyway.

Good news for pet people: you can bring yours along.

Lounge-y bar doubles as a stellar go-to for noshin’ – with all sorts of eats, ranging from salads to tasty pizza(!).

Within daytripping distance of the Alsace Wine Route – defo be sure to tour a few of the enchanting small towns on the way.

Near 3 different borders, an ideal home base for racking up multiple passport stamps (not really, since you just kinda drive through, but still).

Free Internet for those who get itchy at the thought of going WiFi-less.

Directly opposite the central station, putting it in the middle of it all.

All cosy and cottage-y in a quiet part of the country.

Award-winning certified organic kitchen promises the freshest, regional-est eats, and caters to any dietary restrictions. (And all 3 meals are included!)

Free WiFi: you gotta have it, so they bring it.

Non-smoking rooms are a breath of fresh air.

Tweet, post, pin and ‘gram with reckless abandon. Thank you, free WiFi.

Ideal springboard for all things Basel, whether you're visiting for work or just for its cultural attractions (museums! art! food!).
