We liked our stay in Alfa hotel. A very sweet lady at the reception - much appreciated! The room was in good condition, nothing special but exactly like described on the website. We got free tickets for public transport, which came in handy to visit Basel. The tram stop is also in front of the hotel. Only negative point was that there were not enough parking spots.

Average property has not been kept up - we had broken fans. Staff pleasant but slow or no response to requests e g for clothes hangars. Breakfasts were fine though limited in variety. Convenient on tram line and near Rhine for floating.

Liked: Cleanliness
No air conditioning and no screens on the windows when we opened them up to cool down lots of flies got in the room. The safe didn't work and we had to get it reset just to stop beeping, the keys stopped working each day. We attempted to get a refund to switch hotels after the first night but they were not amenable.

Great spot for stadium and city access

I regret that I did not have a chance to try out the restaurant, and the in-room capsule coffeemaker was not a success, but the internet connection was good, the room was quiet, and the hotel itself was in an excellent location, especially for St. Jakob Stadium. Check-in and check out were very quick, and I paid extra for a balcony, which was well worth the money. It was a great place to relax and have some coffee, and the nice accordion glass doors and windows sealed out the noise at night. Nearby grocery stores, cafes, a bakery, a handy mini-mart, and easy access to trams downtown. I walked to the stadium in 20 minutes along the little river. I travel with a dog, and we were glad there was a lift in the building. There is a fee of 15 CHF per night for a dog, which I think is a bit steep, but I understand that we are all paying for all the dogs that may or may not be well behaved in hotels.

Vänligt och funktionellt

Väldigt trevligt litet hotell av äldre modell men med bra fuktionalitet och trevliga rum, väldigt rent och fint. Vänlig personal när jag behövde hjälp både dag och natt. En riktig liten pärla i Basel för jobbresor. Kommer att bo här i januari också för nästa kvaltävling. Fin frukost och sköna sängar
