Guest Reviews

• Gachet Grobéty (10/5): -
• Marc (9/5): Très agréable séjour dans une ville apaisante - Proche du centre. Idéal Rien
• Diego fabricio de (5/5): -
• Olafur Sindri (9/5): -
• Ralf (8/5): Mittendrin - Alles wie beschrieben. Gute Lage zur Universitätsklinik und Tram. Überlassung des mobilen Internets. Gute Kapsel-Kaffeemaschine. Besser wäre eine direkte Telefonnummer von der Gastgeberin für eine direkte Check-Inn Absprache
• Fanelis (10/5): Perfect, historic, Authentic. - Great location in the middle of everything and within walking distance from train station. We had everything we needed and more than we expected, place was clean, bed very comfortable and Violet, our host was awesome.
• Watson (9/5): Perfect location in the old town - Brilliant location, couldn't be better situated. Very quaint old apartment right in the heart of the old town, perfect,
• Ursula (8/5): -
• Serena (10/5): - Posizione Stanza e cucina Riscaldamento bagno non perfettamente funzionante.
• Matt (7/5): Nice location, but small. - The apartment is very centrally located. It is quiet. The apartment is small. Especially the bathroom is rather cramped. We didn't like that there was no cable television. Ask for more towels if you stay longer.
• Claudio (9/5): -
• Olesia (9/5): Ottimo soggiorno - Era molto vicino al centro! La casa è piccola, ma accogliente. La doccia è un po’ spartana, ma è l’unico difetto.
• Kostia57 (7/5): Basilea : elegante e raffinata - Posizione ottimale. Si può visitare a piedi tranquillamente tutto il centro di Basilea. La puntualità dell ' host nella consegna delle chiavi dell'appartamento e a fornirci la Basilea card per poterci spostare gratuitamente con i mezzi pubblici ed avere agevolazione in alcuni musei. Comodissimo e molto utile il wifi portatile messoci a disposizione gratuitamente. Cucina molto funzionale , letto comodo ed appartamento ben riscaldato . Bagno minimal ma efficiente. Piano alto con molti gradini da fare, per cui non adatto per persone che hanno problemi di deambulazione.
• Daniel (8/5): -
• Andrea (8/5): - Klein aber fein mit kleiner Küche und sogar einigen Leckereien, die gebraucht werden dürfen. Eher ringhörig, viele Treppen ohne Lift
• codrea (7/5): Placut - Locatia Patul asezat la perete si trebuie sa deranjezi partenerul daca vrei sa cobori si scartaie foarte tare.
• Peter (8/5): Kleine, gemütliche Wohnung - Die Lage ist sehr gut. Mitten in der Altstadt. Die Wohnung, 1 Zimmer, mit kleiner Küche und schmalem Bad, ist sehr hübsch und gemütlich eingerichtet.
• Kim (10/5): - Violet was lovely, extremely accommodating as we are older the stairs were a struggle but Violet took our bags up for us which we appreciated. She also gave us information about the trams and how to make our way around

• madeleine (9/5): Simple efficace dans le style suisse dépaysant - Localisation la propreté la flexibilité de l’hôte lit confortable Manque de torchon deco parfois un peu chargée
• Martin (7/5): Enjoyed Basel’s history and culture. - Central location Basic accommodation with a Swiss price
• Aleksandar (10/5): - Wonderful host and excellent location
• Paulina (9/5): -
• Grant (10/5): Wonderful and interesting property in a fantastic location - Characterful property with a lovely host and fantastically located. We would definitely stay here again. N/a
• ignacio (7/5): -
• Janet (10/5): Nice stay, very close to everything. Violet was very nice. - Very cute and comfy. The washer/dryer was a nice convenience. There were a lot of stairs, but that was to be expected with an old building.
• Mert (10/5): -
• Amir (7/5): מיקום טוב אבל האירוח טעון שיפור - המיקום מעולה. ממש על המרקטפלאץ. יש מכונת אספרסו עם קפסולות חופשי. הדירה מצויידת היטב למרות שהדברים קצת ישנים. הדירה הייתה קרירה ושהינו בסתיו כשהיה בחוץ 13 מעלות. סופקה שמיכה אחת בלבד וגם כשהבהרנו שאנחנו צריכים עוד אחת, לא נעשה בשבילנו שום מאמץ והופננו להשתמש בכיסוי המיטה. כשהגענו לדירה, מכונת הכביסה עבדה והייתה תפוסה. השעון עליה הראה שהיא עומדת לעבוד עוד 4.5 שעות (!). היא נמצאת בסמוך לחדר השינה (שהוא גם הסלון) ככה שאם חשבנו שנהנה מהסיאסטה, זו הייתה סיאסטה לקולה של המכונה. אנחנו ממש לא מבינים מדוע כשמשלמים כל כך הרבה כסף בעבור דירה קטנה, בעלת הבית משתמשת במכונת הכביסה בזמן השהות בה. הדירה ממוקמת בקומה ה3 והמדרגות מתעגלות. להעלות מזוודה של 20 קילו ללמעלה זו משימה לא פשוטה גם לאנשים חזקים.
• Alan (7/5): -
• Gessica (10/5): Perfetto - Tutto perfetto. Posizione, gentilezza dell’host e servizi.
• Paul (7/5): Convenient location and facilities - Good central location. Convenient laundry and cooking facilities. Bathroom needed modernising
• Ana (10/5): Sinta-se em casa! - O espaço é muito acolhedor e confortável. Fez-nos sentir em casa! Adorámos o facto de haver ingredientes base para cozinhar, tais como azeite e vinagre, bem como chá e cápsulas de café . A única limitação da cozinha era a ausência de exaustor. O apartamento está muito bem localizado, no centro da cidade, bem pertinho da Rathaus. Agradecemos a flexibilidade do Alex e da Violet, que nos permitiu chegar depois do horário previsto para o check in. Apesar de não ter constituído um problema para nós, o apartamento é um terceiro andar, sem elevador.
• Iman (9/5): -
• Eric-Jan (9/5): Great, everything near and well organised. - The accomodation was very well located. The host was friendly and service oriented. And there were little details like coffee, tea, very nice.
• Martina (7/5): - gute Lage, herzig eingerichtet schon eher klein und ringhörig, aber wir haben uns wohl gefühlt
• Karen (10/5): -
• Mei (7/5): - 地點 移動式冷氣啟動聲音像轟炸機～ 吵到無法入睡，但房間在頂樓實在太熱了，只好篩住耳朵打開冷氣機（還是聽得到吵雜的機器聲）；但冷氣排氣管需自己拉到窗台上，且無法固定，排氣管很快就掉下來，熱氣往房間吹，完全没有讓空氣冷卻的效果。
• Paul (8/5): - Violet was great communicating. Cute compact space. An unusual heat wave was occurred and a portable AC was waiting for us. Much appreciated. The cleanliness of the some of the cutlery and dishes was questionable. The steps to the third floor unit were steep and narrow. Not a complaint as such just something to expect.
• Katherine (4/5): It was in a great location and cam bragging rights to we were staying rights of saying it - There was no breakfast, either included or optional for pay. The location was excellent, in the middle of the old town. A lot. The outside temperature was in the upper 80s and there was a winter blanket on the bed and no sheets. Partly what attracted me to book this place was the picture of a washing machine. When we arrived, it was running very noisily with someone's clothes in it. No instructions on use, nor soap. I wrote the owner, got no reply, and two hours later it was still going. The "desk" (a table) had no chair, but a backless stool. No luggage racks or other appropriate place for our suitcases. One was just able to fit in a metal shelving unit, the other remained on the floor. We were told we could eat or drink anything, but there were no drinks and nothing to eat that didn't need cooking, like, say, fruit or crackers or other finger food. There were four little pieces of chocolate in a bowl, but that was it in the way of "help yourself to any of the food." Our unit was three steep flights up and no one to offer to help us get the luggage up the stairs.
• Lesley (10/5): Gorgeous, comfy, centrally located apartment with everything you could need and a fantastic host. - Violet, the host, is amazing and very welcoming with great communication throughout. As such access to the property was easy (despite our delayed arrival). The location is excellent and couldn't be more central with cafes, bars, gorgeous shops and supermarkets nearby. The apartment had everything we needed and more. We walked almost everywhere, swam in the river, took in the local culture and people watched outside the apartment window! We'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Nothing.
• Paul (8/5): Great location and let us store bikes in hall - Cooking facilities plenty of room in apartment Shower could do with updating
• Tudor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nancy (9/5): Loved it - The apartment is very nice, it has everything you need and Violet is very nice and friendly.
• Helen11 (10/5): Exceptional - Very cozy apartment in an excellent location. Violet was very helpful with instructions regarding public transport, the city, or booking us a taxi when needed.
• Linda (8/5): A fabulous apartment in a great location. - The location was excellent. The bed was really comfortable and there were some lovely touches such as the kitchen basics and chocolates. The bathroom was a little dated
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rachel (10/5): Fantastic value, Perfect location, highly recommended, would stay again. - Exactly as described, older style modest apartment in perfect location. Good communication before and during arrival. Apartment is very good value for Basel. Perfect comfortable stay for a few nights in a usually expensive city. Felt like a local with markets and good cafes at the front door. Local boutiques and supermarket within metres. Host provided Basel tourist discount card. Used the tram to Basel train station. Easy to find. Enjoyed my long weekend and would love to stay again in Basel. Everything, galleries, & Xmas markets in walking distance.
• Thomas (6/5): Too much Airbnb for the philosophy of the house .... -
• Panterotto (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helmut (7/5): Great central location very friendly host, outdated bathroom and kitchen - The host is great and very friendly. She waited for us till our arrival Appartement is quite old especially the bathroom. The kitchen is not very clean
• Timothy (8/5): Excellent location and comfortable - The location is excellent and the apartment was good with everything you needed. Host was very nice. Smallish bathroom and we had to wait for the host to arrive with the key. Host had washing machine going to 10pm in the kitchen which was a bit noisy. She said to stop it and dump out the load but we let it run!!
• Barbara (8/5): Very good - Violet is a wonderful host who went over and beyond to make my stay great.
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shane (10/5): Exceptional -
• Roberto (10/5): Exceptional - Location is perfect. Home is clean. Violet(owner) was helpfull. By walk you can discover many places. But for couple. İf u have big luggage, it could be problem stairs.
• Vgie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (9/5): Cute - Perfect for a couple of days in the city. Very central and still quiet.
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Prachi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sandra (6/5): Pleasant - Location is excellent. Great amenities close by Very steep winding stairs which are a problem with luggage. Very compact apartment for 2 people. It was very hot and in order to use the air-conditioning unit the window had to remain open which in a very busy area meant you either suffer the heat or are woken at 5.30 am by the businesses opening outside and delivery trucks.
• Alex (10/5): Exceptional -
• Janet (10/5): Exceptional -
• Voltmann (7/5): Comfortable Great Location - The location can’t be beat. We could see the Rathaus and the market from the window. Good bakery across the street. Nice bistro with great patio around the corner. Good shopping in the old town. Comfortable. Easy tram access. Worn. On the third (fourth floor for Americans); no lift.
• Bruce (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and very welcoming host. We found the location a little difficult to find as not listed on the map we had so fortunately our host was looking out for us. Staircase was a bit of a challenge
• Gary (8/5): Excellent location - Excellent location in the city centre. It was perfect for a weekend break. The size was good for a city centre flat The apartment is on the 2nd floor with no lift and steep stairs. The bathroom is basic and the coffee machine plug did not fit in the socket in the kitchen.
• Sophie (8/5): Very good - Incredible location and very friendly and helpful hosts, very comfortable and clean bedroom
• Ghelor (5/5): Passable -
• Ghelor (3/5): Poor - The internet was not working properly! I have contacted the host, she tried to help and sent me another wifi device, and it was still not doing well. Another thing, you need to be extremely careful if you are tall! The room entrance is small, I’ve knocked my head and open forehead because of it.
• Connie (10/5): Perfect location to enjoy old town Basel. - The location was perfect.
• Kathleen (9/5): Very nice apartment, great location, very accommodating hosts. - This was a very pleasant apartment in an excellent location. It's small, but we had enough space, and it was attractively and comfortably furnished. And the location was great. It's in the old town, about a minute away from the tram stop at Markplatz, so we were only a heartbeat away from the daily market there - in fact, we could see it from our window - and another heartbeat away from a Coop and a Migros. She and Alex were also very accommodating about our arrival time. We were scheduled to arrive in Basel several hours ahead of their check-in time, but Violet assured us that we could check in early if the previous guests had left and, if they hadn't, we could leave our luggage. As it turned out, our plane was late, but Alex waited patiently for us anyway. I was a little worried about finding it, but Violet gave us excellent instructions, advising us NOT to try to walk but to take the 8 or 11 tram and to get off at the fourth stop. I wasn't terribly clear what to do next, and Google maps was having one of its occasional failures, but I checked back with Violet and she drew me a little map and gave me a landmark to look for. Perfect. It is a small apartment and there wasn't a lot of room to unpack and store our stuff, but that really wasn't much of a problem.
• Hayley (7/5): Good - Location was excellent, apartment was clean & comfortable. Alex meeting us on arrival was great & he was full of information! We had an early awakening (5am) due to delivery trucks outside
• Keith (6/5): Pleasant - Location, washing machine Shower
• Catherine (9/5): Superb - Perfect location in old town parking expensive
• Andrew (5/5): left in the dark waiting for staff to open. my plane was an hour late so I was on runway with no way of communicating. - location only three flights of stairs with luggage for two months. not good
• Nasra (10/5): Exceptional - Violet was an excellent host and was very accommodating. She was very responsive with messages and allowed me to leave my luggage early, and also a late check out. The apartment is spacious and in an excellent location. The bed was large and comfortable. coffee available but no tea.
• Andrew (10/5): A happy place to stay right in the centre of town. - We had a great time, lovely place to stay and very well ran.
• Taina (10/5): Wonderful stay at Rathaus 1284 - Perfect stay at the apartment. Ideal location, great amenities, very clean and friendly staff. Brilliant little touches with things provided. Many thanks!
• Donna (8/5): - It was centrally located and comfortable. The owner checked us in and left some fruit and yogurt in the refrigerator for us. The robes were also a nice touch. We used the washer and dryer. The WiFi was spotty. There was no tv which was fine for us but not for others. The apartment was 3 floors up without an elevator.
• Peter (10/5): Home in the center of everything - Fantastic location, a few steps from restaurants etc. The place has a very nice homey feel too.
• anna-karin (8/5): Liten lägenhet med perfekt läge. - Tyvärr fel uppgifter i beskrivningen.. Vi hade tänkt ha självhushåll, men både ugn och micro saknades, liksom värdeförvaringsskåp. "Gör-det-själv-frukost var en överraskning, men det funkade bra. Mycket hjälpsam och generös värdinna! För övrigt var utrustningen utmärkt,allt nytt och fräscht.
