Linda United States of America

Easy to find and near the train station. wonderful staff and welcome refreshments when we arrived.

Linda United States of America

The front desk staff is absolutely delightful! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean, showers are great, and bedding is comfy. We had a 12 day stay in Europe in 3 different hotels, and this was our favorite. Small, comfortable, friendly, affordable, and easy access to restaurants, etc. They offer breakfast and the evening of your arrival offer you a complimentary cocktail. Busses are right down the street and the area is very safe for walking.

Steinenschanze Stadthote Is a wonderful hotel with clean, spacious rooms and a high attention to detail. The property is located just a couple blocks (less than 10 minute walk) from the old town centre. In the town centre there are numerous cafes, restaurants and shops. If traveling by train the bus does stop directly in front of the hotel making transfer simple. A buffet breakfast is well presented with variety of hot and cold items and fresh pastries highlighted with made to order fresh coffee. The hotel staff goes above all expectations to be welcoming and helpful. We definitely recommend this property for its location, value and appreciation of guests.

Jean United States of America

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They explained us how to navigate around Basel, how to get to places, and other useful details. The staff also helped us as much as they could on how to get the tax refund stamp because not much details are on the website on how to get the customs stamp and refund if you travel from Switzerland to other countries. When we checked out, the staff knew we had to travel hours on the train so she offered us multiple bottles of both still and sparkling water to take on our journey. She also let us checked in early since the room was ready.

The room was well appointed and a good size. The bathroom was well laid out.

Michael United States of America

Close to bus stop and easy to get around the city.

Lois United States of America

Breakfast was full of options and very fresh each day. There was a buffet or the option of choosing a smaller breakfast.
