Bed and breakfast B&B La Vie en Rose

Oetlingerstrasse 25, 4057 Basel, Switzerland –

Traveller photo of Basel

24 April 2016

Lock in a great price for B&B La Vie en Rose - rated 9.1 by recent guests.

to get started.

Everything was just perfect. Cosy room and perfect location. Not only the host Christoph sent the letter prior to my artival with all necessary infornation and even access to free ride transportation to the property, but also gave all the needed recommendations for city sights and museums in Basel. Will definitely stay again.

Jenifer, Russia

Owner and manager were super hosts and ideally located to RHIE river walk, cafes, ferry, and old town! Home sweet home for international travelers

Steven, USA

The location is good, in quiet, leafy streets, convenient for a pleasant stroll or jog along the Rhine, or a short tram ride into the middle of the city. The rooms are themed as pink, blue or green. There is a small shared kitchen and a simple "Continental" breakfast is served there

Grahaem, United Kingdom

Monique is a very friendly and helpful host. When I arrived, she took time to help me find places of interest and good places to eat on a map. She also alerted me to local festivals and music events.

Alexander, United Kingdom

Its great and cozy place very close to the river and town the center. The owner of the place is very helpful and kind person

Peter, Bulgaria

I was looking for a cheap accomodation with some character. This one absolutely met my expectation or was even better with some respects. I was e.g. amazed by the level of cleanness and how kind the landlord was. At this place, modern and old meets very nicely. Breakfast option is very convenient and absolutely worth the value. You can also make tea or coffee or even some meal yourself anytime in the kitchen. Nicely located near the river bank and old city centre. Except of bathroom shared by 2 rooms (very nice and clean, though), it was to me a much more interesting option than any uniform 4* hotel (and definitely far cheaper). I hope to go back at some point also with my family.

Václav, Switzerland

Traveled on my own, and Christoph was super friendly and very knowledgeable. After not realising that i would need a different adapter to me EU on Christoph lent me one for my stay :). The young lady serving breakfast is lovely and so friendly, ate breakfast outside on the first day which was stunning. 5 minutes walk from the Rhine, which is amazing to sit by at night and read a book! On the main transport route, and Christoph sent me an email on how to get to the b&b from the airport which was really really helpful. Also has really good WiFi.

Hannah, United Kingdom

Lovely B&B with delightful hosts. Location is excellent with lots of things to do nearby. Lots of information given by the hosts about where we could go and what we could do. Was walking distance to the town centre and close to transport. A ticket for trams and busses was given to us which made travelling around even easier. Will definitely be staying here again.

“Classic B&B in quiet, pleasant area, close to the Rhine.”
- • Business trip
- • Group of friends
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 1 night
Very much a B&B, not really an alternative to a hotel: the small bathroom (shower only) is shared by the three rooms on one floor of the building, so privacy is limited. OK for friends or family, but a bit weird with strangers. (But then I don't usually stay in B&B's, so maybe that's just me....) When I stayed it seemed very expensive for a B&B, but hotels were also expensive, so maybe it would be better value at a less busy time

Had to share a common bathroom with one other boarder, but knew that ahead of time, and it worked out fine. Room was on second floor so had to carry up luggage, but no big deal.
Wasn't sure we would like the unique decor, but it turned out to be quite charming. Very clean. Hosts were gracious and helpful. Neighborhood was decent, with close access to a scenic walkway along the river. Not in immediate downtown, but a convenient tram ride away, or a 20-340 minute walk downtown along the river. Neighborhood restaurants available. We ate at a very good Thai place.
