Historic hotel in an exceptional setting on the Heuberg in Basel.

This is a pretty address that uses the card of humour with a name that plays on its history and the linguistic and cultural specificities of the city. From the square in the heart of the pedestrian zone, Barfüsserplatz, you can see an old fortress on the Heuberg heights turning your back on the Historical Museum. It is an old prison that was transformed into a hotel at the end of the last century. It is accessed through a magnificent inner courtyard, the Leonhof, which majestically overlooks the old town. It is only on the first floor that you will find the long corridor of the rooms arranged in the old cells. The decoration is simple, the rooms are relatively spacious and bright, but the layout of the windows can be surprising, often located very high. If you have always preferred to play policeman, you will have a more spacious room with TV, located in the former police stations. A good address, in a fanciful "idyllic-carceral" setting that above all has a superb location in relation to the city.

Das Ambiente und der Standort ist toll. Ein Tipp für etwas aussergewöhnliches. Das Essen sah toll aus und hat sehr lecker geschmeckt. Allerdings war der Service nicht besonders. Weingläser wurden abgeräumt, nachdem wir zu viert eine Flasche Wein getrunken hatten, ohne zu fragen, ob wir noch etwas wollen. Um ein weiteres Wasser zu bekommen, mussten wir auch bitten. Dessert wollten wir nicht und der Service hat die Karte ohne Kommentar sofort versorgt. Sie war so schnell weg, dass wir nicht mal nach einem Kaffee fragen konnten. Wir wurde kein einziges Mal gefragt, ob wir noch was wollen, als ob sie froh sind, wenn wir gehen. Bitte nicht missverstehen, sie waren alle sehr freundlich, aber in so einem Restaurant kann man mehr Service erwarten. Schade.

My favourite restaurant in Basel. Very easy decor, the one of a classic French brasserie. Impressive food and quality price wine list. The wines are only French and the most expensive cost 105 CHF. Not common in Suisse..Very professional and nice service. Enjoy.

Love the story behind the hotel, love the feelings of walking down the hallway, and reflecting the history. Love the convenient location.
