The key pick-up and instructions were very simple and straight forward. You could already tell that the owner paid a lot of attention to details and allowing the guests to feel very welcomed. I highly highly recommend this place for its terrace. It is extremely rare to have such a space in the heart of Basel. We felt so spoiled!! After a long conference day, it is fantastic to settle down in the evening on the terrace. The drink options and kitchen were also fully stocked. We would definitely come back!

We ordinarily prefer hotels to apartments, but this time my wife and I traveled with children, so we tried our luck with this apartment, and we were extremely satisfied with our choice and our host, Kai. This apartment has every little thing you could need, including a lot of toys for children. It is close to all of the public transportation stations you will need, as well as a few restaurants and shops.

The hotel has a comfortable and inviting breakfast area with a good selection of quality foods. There were long breakfast hours, no food shortages, and staff members smoothly replaced everything. Also, the hotel has a very inviting, well-arranged dining area near the reception, which combines a nice bar, a cosy restaurant, and a working area with plenty of sockets and big tables. My room was spacious and clean. All staff members were very helpful. The hotel is outside the city centre, but public transportation provides comfortable communication between the hotel, the city centre and the airport.

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
