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.

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 Nov 27, 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 Oct 20, 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\.

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 Oct 24, 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.
