Love the convenience of the location. The floor plan was unexpected but great; charming. Loved having the two bathrooms (one full, one half). Wish it had air conditioning. It was warm and stuffy when we arrived.

Easy self check-in. Simple rooms with ample amenities that is most importantly clean. Location was great as it is near to the train station and yet not noisy or unsafe. There is a small convenience store just next to it. The only inconvenience was there was no kettle in the room so you have to go downstairs' to dispense hot water. Since there are no staff in operation - be prepared to store your luggage at the train station if you arrive too early

I feel this place is overpriced. It is dated at a poor condition. Not very clean. Very loud. You can hear your neighbors using their bathrooms, for example. This place rates high for a convenience, but otherwise I would pass. I think you can get better value for your money elsewhere.

No contact information in room if you had any questions. The QR code didnt work. Baselcard (free public transport) which ALL Basel hotel rooms are entitled to, were not issued until 8 hours after we had to email and ask for them. Only 1 Euro power socket in the entire room. Property was clean and had free tea and coffee.

Such a noisy place, and had requested a quietly sited room! The hotel is just about on the road, just a narrow pavement. Also can hear the trams all through the night. Bin men early in the morning, oh and the bins have an unpleasant smell.

I liked how convenient it was to parking. It seemed like a free parking pass was provided, however, there were no instructions and ultimately it did not work. The Basel pass was a nice touch, however, I was only there for an overnight and was not able to use it. I was unaware that there would be no reception desk. This is a huge drawback.

Sara

For the amount of money to stay for a night, I was greatly disappointed. The bathroom hadn’t seen a proper deep clean in I don’t even know how long (you can tell with all the mildew buildup). And the pillows were not pillows. I had to grab the towels in the bathroom and use those as pillows. Considering I decided to stay the night in Basel to get some rest before another day of traveling, this was extremely upsetting

There was no one to help. Pushing the button outside only made a person open the outside door. But no one to talk to in order to figure out registration machine. The email they were supposed to send the day before was in German. No air. Bad lock on door. No safety whatever. Bathroom was nice!

La calle del hotel da un poco de respeto. Por la noche no nos atrevimos a salir. Hemos pasado calor en la habitación, al no haber aire acondicionado. Sólo un ventilador y hemos tenido que dormir con las ventanas abiertas, con todos los ruidos de la callejuela en la que se encuentra ubicado, que parece que esté la gente dentro de la habitación.

My review is based on two things when I booked I messaged them to let them know I was with a bike they said they didn’t cater for bikes nor could I take it in the room I should have asked to cancel regardless as this was within minutes of the booking subsequently BA cancelled the flight and they still wouldn’t refund Yes I had bought a inrefundable room however one they couldn’t service and didn’t have any notice regarding a bike policy 2nd ba canceling my flight is not in my hands and they should have at the very least moved my booking therefore they get a rotten eggs review

Gece çok geç otele varmamıza rağmen kolaylıkla otele girdik. Online checkin olayı da son derece basit. 1 dakikada kartımızı aldık. Daha öncesinde birakaç husus için mesaj attığımızda anında dönüş yaptılar. Odamız da gayet konforlu ve temizdi. Tren garına yaklaşık 100 adım. Bu kadar merkezi olması. büyük avantaj. Sorunsuz şekilde 1 gecemizi geçirdik.
