Absolutely loved staying at the Nomad! Beautiful design, comfortable rooms, super helpful staff (they helped me find a power adaptor because I forgot mine.) I ordered room service one night and it was perfection. Also, the floor I was on had a tap for still or sparkling water in the hallway, along with free coffee, tea, and some fruit. Those little touches are so nice after a long day of travel.

The room was fantastic and the decor was unique. The bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was good, doesn’t have typical British breakfast items for English travellers. The bar was great for the evenings and had fantastic staff all round. The location is great and is 10 mins from the centre of Basel, I would definitely recommend staying here.
