Set in the Basel City Center of Basel, Pension Sunneschyn features accommodation with free WiFi.

The tram stop (no3) right in front of the accommodation, 10 min. to city center. We also went to the Beyeler Fondation and it took about 30 min by public transport (bus + tram).

Sabine was very welcoming and accommodating. Our room was spacious. Although no breakfast was served, we had a variety of fruit, waffles, coffee/tea making facilities and bottles of water waiting for us. Plenty for an early start in the morning. All kinds of restaurants at walking distance from the guest house, which was very convenient after a 10-hour drive. We'll definitely go back since it's also a beautiful basis for visiting Basel.

15 min walk to the Vitra Design Museum and campus. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking and in proximity to a supermarket. A range of items available for breakfast (and teas, snacks throughout the day) when you want. Room was super clean with many thoughtful, homey touches. The garden is beautiful and both owners are so kind and very generous. I would return.

    Nice little apartment for a reasonable price, we had a short but lovely stay. Great location, just outside the old town (a 10-minutes tram ride -which also takes you to the train station - or a 20-minutes very pleasant walk along the river) in a nice, quiet residential area, with plenty of shops and restaurants. The flat is very well equipped and communication with the host was clear, efficient and friendly.

    My stay at B&B Laupenring was truly delightful. The house was cozy and my room was charming, making for a comfortable experience. The place was squeaky clean, and the host was incredibly kind and helpful. They provided excellent suggestions for local dining and things to see. The B&B's location in a pleasant neighborhood is great. There's convenient public transportation very close, so getting to the city center is quick and easy. I wholeheartedly recommend B&B Laupenring for a wonderful stay in Basel.

    Best value for money, great location 5 minutes from train station and 10 minutes from city centre. The apartment was very comfortable and with a nice balcony. Host was excellent with communication whenever it was needed and very kind to arrange picking up the keys despite that I arrived late at night.

    The hostel is located in a quiet place, very close to the train station and other transports. It's a little bit far away from the city center (around 25 minutes walking), but as a tourist, you will receive the Basel card that allows you to take the public transport free. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your own meals and there is some coffee, tea you can use. There are some common areas very comfortable you can use during your stay or even after the checkout.

    The host is very nice; we had found even some food in the refrigerator on our arrival prepared for us, and it was very helpful. The apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood at a waking distance from the city center. The facilities and furniture are great. Parking is in the basement. The host resolved some issues that appeared (logistics in nature) quickly and efficiently.
