Guest Reviews

• Valentina (9/5): Ottimo hotel a Basilea - Ottimo hotel nei pressi della stazione ma comodissimo per visitare il centro. Personale accogliente e cortese, colazione buona e varia e stanza molto pulita. Letto comodo e condizionatore funzionale. Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo. Mancanza dell’ascensore per salire al terzo piano (disponibile solo fino al primo). Per la colazione, tuttavia, possibilità di altro ascensore fino all’ottavo piano.
• Beata (8/5): - Ogólnie hotel ok blisko dworca dobre śniadanie obsługa miła
• Wilson (7/5): Ok for location but not great - Location. Comfortable bed. Tea/ coffee Bathroom issues - shower head broken. Sink plug didn’t work. Shower floor had what looked like black mold in joints. Layout of hotel bit unusual. No view.
• Cordula (9/5): Good location to explore the City. - Excellent location directly at SBB station. Still I had a quiet room. You can take several trams into the City or walk on your own. Very convenient.
• Sandra (8/5): - Location to the main station was excellent No fridge or tea /coffee making facilities in our room
• Tanya (7/5): - Great location, very close to the SBB, and the hotel sent very specific instructions prior to arrival to make sure there was no confusion as there are 3 motels joined together. Bed was comfy, shower was a decent pressure and temperature. Every single floor board in the room squeaked when I moved around the room, there was no way to move around quietly. Bathroom was clean - except for the dirty towels left on the floor from the previous guest. The light switches are a) confusing and b) needed to be pressed 2-10 times any time I wanted to turn something on or off. Once I have to pull my key card out of the slot and put it back in before the switched worked.
• Dorothea (1/5): ACHTUNG!!! Diebstahl aus dem Hotelzimmer - Ich wurde während des Frühstücks vor der Abreise bestohlen; aus meinem verschlossenen Zimmer wurde aus meinem gepackten Rucksack Bargeld entwendet. Bei unzähligen dienstlichen und privaten Hotelaufenthalten ist mir so etwas noch nie widerfahren. Also ACHTUNG! Natürlich werde ich nicht wieder hier übernachten.
• Yury (9/5): Perfect location for business trips - The main advantage of this hotel is its location right next to the railway station and very close to the airport shuttle stop. It’s an ideal place for business trips, and I’ve stayed here several times already. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts are excellent. The price is also reasonable for Switzerland. One minor downside is that some rooms are accessible only by stairs, so you may need to carry your suitcase upstairs. However, in my case, this was not a problem.
• ThoKna68 (8/5): Ordentliches Hotel für einen Kurzurlaub - Die Nähe zum Bahnhof, Supermärkte in unmittelbarer Umgebung und kurzer Weg in die Stadt. Das Frühstück hätte etwas reichhaltiger sein können, war aber im großen und ganzen in Ordnung.
• Arne-Björn (8/5): -
• Krystyna (8/5): -
• Gerezgiher (9/5): - Die Lage war super und Personal Garnichts
• Martin (8/5): Zou hier weer terugkomen - De locatie is perfect, tegenover het station. Prettig is ook dat je een gratis ov-pas krijgt voor de tijd dat je in Basel verblijft. Ontbijt was redelijk. Hield niet over. Wel mooi uitzicht op de 8e verdieping
• Wolfgang (6/5): -
• Antonia (4/5): - Nähe vom Bahnhof Frühstück Sauber Freundliches Personal Zwei Stockerke hoch die Koffer über Stiege schleppen - kein Lift! Dachschräge sehr nieder - Kopf beim Aufstehen gefährdet. Extrem kleines Bad. Zu viele Stufen und verwinkelt. Nur für junge, trainierte Leute.
• Jammayrac Prisca (5/5): -
• Elise (8/5): - Proximité de la gare Petit déjeuner très cher
• THIERRY (10/5): Trois jours à Bâle - Proximité centre ville et des transports en commun. Petit déjeuner très bien. Place de parking appréciable.

• Susanne (8/5): -
• Saltanat (7/5): -
• Hannelore (7/5): Lage ideal für einen Kurzurlaub in Basel! - Lage, freundliches Personal,
• marco (6/5): - Posizione Camera piccola, personale freddo, hotel sembra un labirinto
• Daniele (8/5): -
• Viktória (8/5): - Fantastická lokalita, všetko čisté
• Imants (6/5): -
• Grace (6/5): Okay for a short stay. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. - Central location and linked to 2 other hotels. Really good breakfast. Up several flights of stairs not reached by the lift. Bed was stated as being ‘Queen Size’ but is 2 single beds pushed together.
• Anett (10/5): -
• Hungchun (9/5): - 位置離火車站近，行李寄存方便，服務人員親切，尤其是Kim Rahel 值得讚賞👍 笑容可掬、服務超棒的啦！ 沒
• Marie Pierre (10/5): -
• Tudor Voroneanu (10/5): - Totul
• Ondrej (6/5): -
• Brunhilde (8/5): Ich komme wieder - Zentrumsnah, ruhiges Zimmer, sehr sauber Alles gut
• REMI (8/5): Séjour agréable - Proximité du centre historique et de la gare, fruits, fontaine et distributeur de café à disposition Chambre un peu chère pour un paiement en euros par rapport au niveau de prestations
• Ugo (8/5): Premium location for a super essential but comfortable stay - Really central location, very friendly staff and very roomy rooms and above all bathroom! Kids loved the gigantic shower with coloured leds! The lights system was not super intuitive, and we did not manage to switch on some support lights, but not a biggy. Room was really bare minimum, but good enough for the price.

• Esther (8/5): Alles bestens - Der Bio Café
• Christina (7/5): -
• Dominik (7/5): -
• Emiko (9/5): -
• Daisy (10/5): - Prix, proximité gare, calme, petit-déjeuner
• Helena (7/5): -
• Thomas (7/5): Es waren drei sehr schöne Tage in Basel. Wir würden das Hotel jederzeit wieder buchen - Lage super, Personal sehr freundlich und hilfreich. Qualität des Frühstücks gut. Haben gut geschlafen. Zimmer war ziemlich eng. Die Anmeldung im WLAN musste mehrfach neu erfolgen und war etwas nervig. Die fürs Frühstück zuständige Dame war zeitweise überfordert, weil sie allein war.
• Samantha (8/5): - Convenient and clean No lift to the top floor
• Michela (5/5): Si può migliorare - The e caffè in corridoio. Posizione vicino alla stazione Rumore. La finestra su un vicolo chiassoso e i serramenti non idonei ad isolamento acustico . Camera e bagno molto piccoli, da far attenzione appena si apre la porta per non sbattere contro al muro! Nemmeno una bottiglietta d’acqua in camera
• Olga (10/5): -
• Andreas (8/5): - Hotel liegt nahe am Bahnhof Basel SBB was für An- bzw. Abreise mit dem Zug pefekt ist. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer ist gut eingereichtet gewesen und alles war sehr sauber.
• Pohl (7/5): Basel Städtetrip 2026 - Sauber und zentral gelegenes Hotel. Kleines aber schönes Dachzimmer bekommen. Verwinkeltes Gebäude in denen drei Hotels miteinander verbunden sind. Tolle Aussicht zum Frühstück. Freundliches Personal und die Möglichkeit sein Gepäck unterzustellen. Kaffeemaschine und Wasserkocher im Flur gut ausgestattet. Leider tat es der Fernseher nach 22 Uhr nicht mehr. Das Dachfenster konnte nicht verdunkelt werden da das Rollo defekt war. Könnte im Sommer heiß werden. Es gibt zwar eine große Klimaanlage im Zimmer, aber sie ist furchtbar laut. Aufzug nur bis zum ersten Stock. Kaffee war lecker, Maschine leckt jedoch.
• Annika tschannen (8/5): - Personalen jätte trevlig och hjälpsam Jättefin frukost och fin utsikt där. Det var så många trappor sista biten till vårt rum ingen hiss. Rummet var lite litet kändes som ett anex.
• Vladyslav (10/5): -
• Tatu (6/5): - Lage, Personal, sauberes Bett und Bad Lärm in der Nacht aus der Nachbarschaft/Arbeiten im Quartier, kleine aber hohe Zimmer, veraltete Möbel, Teppiche, schrille Farben der Wand und Vorhänge
• Alexandre (8/5): -
• Pascal (8/5): -
• Diane (9/5): -
• Ursula (8/5): - Emplacement Personnel du petit-déjeuner
• Corina (8/5): Immer wieder perfekt für einen Kurzaufenthalt - Direkt am Bahnhof und trotzdem ruhig, da Lage in den Hof und nicht zur Straße. Wir haben sogar ein kostenloses Upgrade (größeres Zimmer) bekommen. Ganz toll ist auch die Baselcard, damit kann man alle Öffis kostenlos benutzen. Es gibt keinen Kleiderkasten, nur ein paar Kleiderbügel - für Kurzreisen ist das aber kein Problem.
• Marc Hofer (10/5): -
• Enrico (8/5): Gita a Basilea - Ambiente tranquillo pur essendo vicino alla stazione, pulito e ordinato. L' area reception,dopo il check in, ha cambiato location senza alcun avviso ai clienti
• Kilian (8/5): -
• Dilara (8/5): -
• Bärbel (6/5): -
• Gianluca (10/5): - Prope et confortable Rien
• Nadja (9/5): Muy práctica - Dureza del colchón, amplitud del baño Ubicación del cuarto por temas de seguridad en caso de una emergencia
• Diana (9/5): -
• David (8/5): - Conforto da cama, o quarto no geral, pequeno almoço, simpatia dos funcionários Sobe e desce para chegar ao quarto
• Hélène (8/5): - La localisation, tout près de la gare Le calme la nuit La propreté La taille de la chambre L'ascenseur ne permet pas d'accéder à toutes les chambres La réception dans un hôtel différent mais dont les couloirs communiquent
• Ken (7/5): Perfect for a single sleep over arriving late by plane and continuing next day by train. - Great location close to main station. Great view from breakfast room. Staff tried to charge for city tax twice (at check in as well as at check out) so remember to get a receipt.
• GUILLERMO (8/5): De paso por Basilea - Cercanía con la estación La almohada demasiado plana Daba la habitación a un calle muy ruidosa
• Francesco (7/5): - Posizione centrale
• Carlos (8/5): -
• Dimmeri (9/5): -
• Ivan (10/5): Excellent and affordable place - This is one of the best, if not the best hotel I've ever stayed at. (And I've stayed at many places). The staff is amazing, very helpful, polite and profesionally friendly. I loved the spacious room and crazy spacious bathroom. The room was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. I plan to return to Basel soon and I hope there will be vacancy at this hotel. It's super close to the main station (literally 2 minutes away from the bus stop where you can catch a bus for the airport) and short and enjoyable walk away from the old town. I can't recommend this place enough.
• Monika (10/5): -
• Ursula (9/5): - L'emplacement - proche de la gare R.A.S.
• arda (8/5): Ideal for a short stay - Friendly and helpful staff, perfect location, ideal for one day stay Room was very small, breakfast was decent
• Jürgen (8/5): -
• Tatjana (10/5): - Alles wunderbar.
• Maurizio (8/5): -
• Dolores (10/5): -
• Andrew (10/5): Perfect for a brief overnight stay - Perfect location to the train station and bus station, both 2 minutes walk away, cost and 24hr gym Nothing as it was priced correctly for what you got
• Iwona (9/5): -
• Katumwa (10/5): -
• Nina (10/5): - Location is great! Everything is nice and clean! At 8 floor with great view is breakfast! I would like to come back one day 😁
• celloroni (8/5): - Very comfortable bed, nice bathroom and toiletries. A lot of lighting options in the room, a few sockets available. I was disturbed by a very noisy group who were talking loudly, laughing, and banging doors. I phoned reception at 1.30 am having been woken up by the noise. I know reception wasn't to blame, but maybe they should have been aware that a group staying together might be noisy.
• Biro (9/5): - lokalita výborná, pár krokov od vlakovej stanici, do mesta sme dostali Mestskú kartu , s čím sme mohli zadarmo cestovať s električkou, a mali sme aj zľavu pri vstupe do múzea. Veľmi milý personál, úplne sme boli spokojní.
• Christian (9/5): - Sehr geräumiges Zimmer Frühstück ist ausbaufähig
• Elisabeth (9/5): -
• Rouslan (7/5): - Перфектна закуска в съседният хотел. Местоположението е отлично за хора използващи общественият транспорт и летището. Малко трудно се намират стаите по коридори и стълби.
• polat (9/5): - Merkezde olması harika. Resepsiyonda ilgi alaka güzel. Tekrar uğrarmıyım? Evet... Otelin içinde odayı bulmak mesele...yan oteli de birlikte kullanıyorlar sanırım. Giriş çıkışlar aynı yerden... otel check in den sonra kimse seni tanımaz sormaz. Asansörler oda anahtarı ile çalıştığından rahatlar galiba...
• Marcel (7/5): - Sauberkeit & Preis/ Leistung Einzel - Zimmer war sehr klein....
• Jens (8/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal! Gutes Frühstück! Zentrale Lage. War schon arg klein das Zimmer unterm Dach. Die Standklimaanlage hat es nochmal enger gemacht. Etwas kompliziert auch sich zwischen den drei verwobenenen Hotels zurecht zu finden.
• Ludmila (8/5): -
• Markus (8/5): Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. - Dank der Nähe zum Bahnhof SBB war die Lage des Hotels für mich ideal. Ich habe ohne Mehrkosten ein Zimmer-Upgrade erhalten. Es war alles ok.
• Anar (10/5): Əla👍 - Her şey ela idi
• Copocian (7/5): -
• Christian (8/5): - Kaffee und Tee auf jeder Etage Apfelschale etwas verwinkelte Flure
• Marco (10/5): - Perfekte Lage, direkt beim Bahnhof Basel SBB. Sehr freundliches Personal beim Check-In. Zimmer sauber und modern eingerichtet, inklusive eigener Kaffeemaschine. Gemütliche Hotelbar. Preis/Leistung tiptop.
