The room was excellent and the breakfast was wonderful. For someone travelling by train, the location is amazing as the main railway station is two-minutes walk away. Outside the front door are around ten tram stops, so getting to places like the Fondation Beyeler is easy (Tram 2 then tram 6 in case you're interested).
