10/10 Exceptional

Especially liked the coffee machine in the reception, and the quick resplnse to my questions.
Nanny, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I feel this place is overpriced. It is dated at a poor condition. Not very clean. Very loud. You can hear your neighbors using their bathrooms, for example. This place rates high for a convenience, but otherwise I would pass. I think you can get better value for your money elsewhere.
Allen C, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very convenient, walking distance to city center and train station. Just 20 min from airport. The design and facilities are super cool! Comfortable and clean. Free coffe and tee at the entrance.
Graciela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy self check-in. Simple rooms with ample amenities that is most importantly clean. Location was great as it is near to the train station and yet not noisy or unsafe. There is a small convenience store just next to it. The only inconvenience was there was no kettle in the room so you have to go downstairs' to dispense hot water. Since there are no staff in operation - be prepared to store your luggage at the train station if you arrive too early
Weng Kay, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the spacious rooms, plus the extra delicious tea and coffee offered to customers. The staff are very helpful. I would like to g back again
Marija, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love the convenience of the location. The floor plan was unexpected but great; charming. Loved having the two bathrooms (one full, one half). Wish it had air conditioning. It was warm and stuffy when we arrived.

Self service difficult to figure out, no internet access ... breakfast is Musli
Mona, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

For the amount of money to stay for a night, I was greatly disappointed. The bathroom hadn’t seen a proper deep clean in I don’t even know how long (you can tell with all the mildew buildup). And the pillows were not pillows. I had to grab the towels in the bathroom and use those as pillows. Considering I decided to stay the night in Basel to get some rest before another day of traveling, this was extremely upsetting

Noise Noise Noise

Such a noisy place, and had requested a quietly sited room! The hotel is just about on the road, just a narrow pavement. Also can hear the trams all through the night. Bin men early in the morning, oh and the bins have an unpleasant smell.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It’s self check in hotel , no front desk . Before the stay, I don’t receive any instructions for going in to the hotel. So I ended up can’t get into it.
Sheung Tai, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked how convenient it was to parking. It seemed like a free parking pass was provided, however, there were no instructions and ultimately it did not work. The Basel pass was a nice touch, however, I was only there for an overnight and was not able to use it. I was unaware that there would be no reception desk. This is a huge drawback.
Joseph, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was no one to help. Pushing the button outside only made a person open the outside door. But no one to talk to in order to figure out registration machine. The email they were supposed to send the day before was in German. No air. Bad lock on door. No safety whatever. Bathroom was nice!

Das Badezimmer ist alt, und die Dusche ist etwas veraltet

Unkomplizierter und schneller Check in am Automaten nach einer späten Ankunft am Flughafen Basel. Günstige gelegen beim SBB Bahnhof! Gratis Kaffeemaschine beim Eingang!

Das Badezimmer sieht furchtbar aus. Das Zimmer war ziemlich laut
Emiliano, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Greit konsept med selv inn og utsjekk. Men når det oppstår noe er det ingen å spørre. Rommet var rent og fint, men enormt varmt. Det var en vifte til den ene sengen, men ingen til den andre. Vi sov dårlig pga. varmen. Med AC hadde opplevelsen vært mye bedre. Men

Muy limpio todo y excelente ubicación
Oscar, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Sehr praktisch gelegen, direkt beim Bahnhof SBB. Jedoch laut von den Trams und vom Treppenhaus hört man alles. Das empfand ich als störend. Auch die Seitengasse, in der das Hotel gelegen ist, empfand ich als unangenehm. In der Nacht mit den zwielichten Personen, die dort herum lungerten, fühlte ich mich unwohl bei der Anreise.

Rotes rostiges Wasser beim Anstellen der Wasserhähnen. Erst nach einer Weile kam sauberes Wasser. Abgenutztes Bad, schlechter Zustand.

Nicht zu empfehlen.

Altes und runtergekommenem Zustand. Wirkt nicht nur dreckig sondern ist es auch. Der Aufenthalt war katastrophal. Direkt auf der Hauptstrasse haben die Bauarbeiten die ganze Nacht angehalten. Dort wurden die Schienen ausgetauscht und der Asphalt neu gemacht. Keine Nacht geschlafen.

Bra hotell nära tågstationen

Mycket bra hotel om du bara ska ha en plats att sova på. Självbetjäning vid incheckning och inte någon frukost men där finns en automat där du kan få kaffe och te.
