“East West Hotel sits right on the Rhine in Kleinbasel, a great starting point to explore the Old Town, and puts you close to transport, including the tram; the included BaselCard sweetens the deal. I noticed the restaurant's burgers get special attention, and soundproofed rooms are a practical plus given the lively area. It's a solid choice for travelers wanting modern comforts in a prime location.”
