Bathroom on the floors were okay but downstairs by the lobby was dirty. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Shruti 8 Dec 2023 I paid for a queen single bed room but was given a family room with 4 bunk beds. I was struggling with power outlets to charge my phones because of not enough of them around my bed. Was way different than what was shown during booking. Had to checkout and walk to Basel SBB station early morning hours like around 5:30 to 6 but did not feel safe. ##### Shruti Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### S. Deniz 12 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Personel çok yardımcı oldu. Havaalanı öncesinde valizimi de emanet olarak bırakmama izin verdiler. Temizlik çok iyi, sessiz, çok güzel bir mini kampüs içinde. Merkeze ve ulaşım güzergahına yakın. Özellikle tercih edecekler için yakında Türk market ve restoranları da var. ##### S.

Die Musik von der Disco um die Ecke bis nach 5 Uhr morgens war zu viel. um nicht zu sagen eine Zumutung. ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mauro 1 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Acogedora tranquila y conveniente ##### Mauro Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jadwiga 1 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Günstig gelegen, sehr netter Personal, familiäre Atmosphäre :) ##### Jadwiga Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sinan 28 Nov 2022 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort Şehir merkezine yakın konumda ücretsiz şehir içi kartı veriyorlar tramvay ve otobüslerden ücretsiz yararlanabiliyorsunuz.temizlik idare eder, ##### Sinan Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Marc-Nicolas 15 Mar 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ausstattung vom Hotel WC und Duschen außerhalb vom Zimmer. Auf dem Weg nach oben mit den Treppen zu den Zimmern sieht man alte Badewanne aufgehängt an der Wand. WC Innenraum nicht so schön. ##### Marc-Nicolas Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marco 27 Nov 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ok, Küche und Dusche sind nicht einladend. Die Küche war alles andere als Sauber, kann aber auch an den anderen Gästen liegen. In meinem Zimmer gab es keinen Schreibtisch, allerdings konnte mit das Hotelpersonal Ersatz bieten. Die Duschen wollte ich nicht benutzen, da diese nicht sehr einladend aussahen und mich persönlich angeekelt haben. Sonst war der Aufenthalt aber OK, man kriegt für was man bezahlt. ##### Marco Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 20 Oct 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Prices do not match on hotels.com and hotel At check-in the cc for booking was not charged, so I had to pay a higher price than on the booking confirmation: CHF 33 instead of CHF 29\. Should be some additional guest tax? ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 12 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Übernachten in stylisch-künstlerischer Umgebung Schneller Check-In, freundlicher Empfang • sauberes Zimmer, gepflegte Gemeinschafts-WC/Duschen, WLAN • kein Parkplatz, kein Lift, kein TV im Doppelzimmer • Fazit: Wer nicht viele Ansprüche hat, übernachtet hier gut ![Außenbereich](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/67A83F4E5E40F362BF3082BC9040E12CE83940251594560650165.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Kann ich empfehlen.

Bien desservi au niveau du tram à côté. A 15min à pied environ de la gare. Petit bémol pour moi, le check-in trop tard, à partir de 16h. Nous aurions pu bénéficier de la Baselcard plus tôt et poser nos sacs. C'est dommage. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Angenehmer Aufenthalt Bequemes Bett, aber ein Sichtschutz zwischen den Hochbetten und dimmbare Lampen wären super.

Der Empfang war auch sehr nett. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Pirmin 15 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ideal für Städtereisen in Basel.
