    All went well except on the second morning there were no Kellogs cereals. I mentioned it a waiter, and he just pointed to bowls of museli etc. Everything else was fine.

    The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. My single room was much bigger than expected and overlooked the rotunda in central Basel. The hotel location is outstanding - perhaps 300m from the central railway station.
