Good property let down by a location that is a bit run down. Great that it had electric charging points at reasonable prices too although the parking itself was 25chf per night. Breakfast was good too with plenty of choice. Evening meals were pricey for our liking

Our stay was perfect. Location is very good to access the city centre by foot or they will supply a free travel permit for the duration of your visit on all public transport. When you come from the airport you don't need to buy a bus ticket to your hotel as your hotel reservation entitles you to free travel. Over all great experience with and in the hotel. Will stay again.

One hair, not mine, was on the bed. When I arrived at 9:45 pm, there is nobody at the front desk. I have to look for a staff to check me in. Then the staff was confused about my payment status. It took 15 minutes for her to sort out .

A cozy hotel outside of the main city portion of Basel yet within walking distance to the public transportation that is frequently served throughout the city The city tax paid to the hotel includes a Basel card that gives you unlimited access to public transportation as well as discounts on many museums. Reasonably sized room with basic amenities including a mini fridge and a safe. Shampoo and body soap combo with no hair conditioner. A timed sun lamp to keep the person warm after coming out from the shower, there is no bathtub. The exhaust fan is strong so the washroom doesn't steam up One big con would be the size of the blanket for the bed, it couldn't even cover the bed, and many times I woke up with a chill since my sleeping movement pushed the blankie away Blocks away from convenient stores, and restaurants as well but the hours of operation are quite limited so better check the time before heading out

The staff are quite friendly. It was good to have a lot of warm food for breakfast. However, breakfast is expensive if you apply on site, so it would be good to add it in advance when you make a hotel reservation. The city of Basel was also very nice. It was very quiet, people were kind, and the tram was romantic. As far as I know, Asians don't stay in Basel very often. I think it's a great place to travel.

The staff named Hussein Ali was really helpful to assist us when we had some issue with our Covid Test requirement. Overall, the room was very clean, and modern looking. Has one of the best gym facility. Location is great with a bus stop around 100m away. Free city transport pass. Highly recommend this hotel!
