Staff were super lovely and helpful!
Aimee, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great little hotel. Clean, close to amenities. Spent 1 night, enjoyed the welcome drink and the patio garden was lovely.
Carol, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was spotless and very chic. Its small, so not a lot of room for big luggage. The location was perfect for traveling by train because it's one bus stop away from the train station. Down a few stairs and you're in the charming streets of Basel. I would stay here again!

Yael, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our one night stay in this hotel. The front desk lady was super nice and let us check in before 3:00pm. She gave us Basel Card and explained how to benefit from it. It saved us a lot of money for public transportation and museums. The room was very clean. The only thing that we think could improve is the outlets by the bed. If they could put one outlet on each side of the bed, that'll be more convenient. Overall, it's a nice hotel that we would recommend to anyone visiting Basel.
Hans, 1-night trip

Property lacked the ability to low the AC to a more comfortatable temperature! 23 C was not cool enough!
Wallace, 2-night trip

The staff here were very helpful and even walked us up to our room. They offer a welcome drink as well. The room had a coffee maker and a tiny but nice bathroom. Very close to trains and the walkable part of town

Hotel was nice. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was good. Location was close to the Christmas market and Basler Munster, so the walk to both was easy. We like this place!
Kyle, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice hotel - shame about the construction work.

Lovely staff - really welcoming, and offered sweets which my daughter loved! Great location with bus stop almost right outside. Clean room, comfortable bed. Surprising inclusion of a gramophone and records. Unfortunately there was construction work going on right next to our room which no-one mentioned. The drilling was limited but very annoying, and I was shocked that we were not prewarned at check-in or before.
R, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

So easy to get to from the airport. #30 bus stopped right outside of the hotel to take us to our ridership. Staff was very friendly. The hotel was a 5 minute walk to the Christmas markets, dining and shopping. Wood stay there again!
