    The truth you’re looking for

    This hotel is a gem near Old Town. The room was modern and airy, featuring a spacious balcony. Staff delivered exceptional service, including a complimentary welcome drink. The outdoor garden is perfect for unwinding post-sightseeing. The breakfast spread had delightful options, and I loved the added benefit of the Basel Card for free transport!

    complementary drink
    clean rooms

    Just a solid selection for a mini-vacation in Basel with the best value for money ratio. The complimentary evening drink was a nice touch after a long day exploring. Consider asking for a room away from the street for a quieter stay.

    helpful staff
    limited seating

    The location was perfect, just steps away from the city center. The staff was remarkably helpful, assisting with everything from check-in to providing transport information. The cleanliness and comfort of the room met my needs well during my business trip, and the complimentary Basel Card added great value.

    lovely garden
    welcoming staff
    well-appointed room
    missing refrigerator
    limited seating

    The stay was quite pleasant, with a lovely garden area that made morning breakfasts enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming and attentive, which was particularly appreciated as a solo traveler. The room was well-appointed and quiet, creating a relaxing atmosphere after a busy day of exploring. While I missed having a refrigerator in the room, the overall experience was delightful, and I would gladly return if I come back to Basel.

    waiting for coffee machine

    The Standard Charming Room was really nice! Super clean and quiet. The strong shower pressure was awesome. I loved the little touches like having a record player with some cool albums. The external motorized blinds kept the room dark, which was great for sleeping in. Just wish I had a coffee machine in the room, though I was told to ask for one. Overall, it felt cozy and personal, definitely a step above typical hotel stays.

    convenient location
    stylish decor
    restrictive size
    missing meals
    bathroom privacy

    The excellent location provided easy access to the city center and tram lines. The room was small but well-designed, featuring unique decor and a turntable, which added a charming touch. Service was attentive, with staff eager to accommodate requests. However, room size might be restrictive for some, and additional dining options like lunch and dinner would enhance the experience further.

    exceptional staff
    small bathroom
    traffic noise

    Exceptional staff support made my stay better.

    I had a terrible experience with the bathroom space. The access was constrained due to a gliding door, making it impossible to turn around comfortably. Additionally, the noise from the busy road outside kept me awake most of the night, and I couldn't figure out the air conditioning, leaving the room uncomfortably warm.

    relaxing garden

    Loved the comfy rooms and the relaxing garden area. The water bottle refill station was a great touch, too! The garden was an oasis amid the city bustle.

    Felt very comfortable, nothing to complain about.

    The hotel features a lovely garden with comfortable seating areas, making it easy to enjoy the fresh air. The staff were incredibly welcoming, ensuring that all my needs were met during my stay, which I truly appreciated as a senior.

    A small refrigerator in the room would be nice.

    small room
    inconvenient sockets
    expensive breakfast

    The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the old town. The room was incredibly comfortable, and having a coffee machine was a nice touch. The peaceful garden area provided a serene escape from the city buzz. However, the room was quite small, and the electrical sockets were not compatible with standard adaptors, which was inconvenient. While breakfast was offered, the price of CHF 25 felt excessive for what was available, so I chose to skip it.
