The room was a bit minimalist but perfectly adequate for my needs & the price.
The room was spotless & an extra pillow & lighter blanket was provided upon request as it was quite hot. There's no air-con but the shutters keep the worst of the sun off the room & the window opens. 2 bottles of water (plain & sparkling) were provided every day plus the biscotti/macaroni every evening. I was on the top floor so there was no noise from above.
The staff were excellent - especially reception staff who were very helpful. They gave great instruction on transport, nearby walks & called a great taxi service on check out. There is an extra charge for local taxes - I stayed 3 nights so it was CF12 & they accept cash or card.
They also offer a free Basel card which allows free public transport & discounts for sightseeing tours and some attractions - say yes!
I paid extra for breakfast which was excellent - breads, cheeses, granola, fruits & eggs/pancakes etc on request but all included. A great touch was the range of snacks provided for free in the afternoon/evening - muffins, cake, fruit & unlimited tea/coffee/cold drinks.
The Breite tram stop is literally outside the front door (service number 3) & it's about a 7 minute ride to the centre if Basel. 15 mins to walk if you don't have any mobility issues. There's also a great riverside walk just around the corner & on the other side of the river is Museum Tinguely.
I'd wholly recommend DasHotelBreite for a short stay in Basel
