Hotel was in Close proximity to the train station which was 10 minutes from the main train station. Self check in was easy to navigate.

Halliday United Kingdom

Very close to the local transport and a short tram/bus ride from the Basel Tattoo venue.

Jodie France

The position, the staff super helpful and kind, the possibility of early check in and late check out for free. The possibility of baby bed!

Adriana Switzerland

The location is excellent. Rumblings from the Bahnhoff very loud, but the sturdy windowpanes did a good job of muting them. The self-checkin process felt a little sad and bare, but there was a warm welcome note in the room, which made up for it. We were delighted at the large room (family suite for 4 people) and the coffee machine and pampering kits in the bathroom. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very satisfactory and the manager polite and efficient.

Anna France

Great reception team, clean, well designed rooms - close to trams and train stations

Isabel South Africa

Always accommodating with my breakfast which is extremely important as I am Gluten Free.

Lisa United Kingdom

1- Very friendly staff. Mr. Erhan was helpful by all means. Just based on the staff, I would recommend the place. 2- Clean. 3- The design, size of the room & facilities. The mattress was also to my liking. 4- Elevator. 5- Basel Cards. 6- Near the Basel station, and car parking.

Rasha Denmark

Great family room - a double, a double sofa bed and an extra single, lovely big room, clean and comfortable beds.
