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.

Sara

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.

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.

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!

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

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.
