great location. tram stop is opposite the hotel. so everywhere in basel can be easily reached within 10 minutes. great bars on the same street as the hotel. rooms are clean, but a little outdated. comfy double bed and huge bathroom

Booked this through easyhotel[--] where you have to pay ahead of time but had no problems there.

Location is on the north side, opposite the old town, though its a few minute ride by tram or 15 minute walk to the main bridge for instance. It's a few blocks from German train station.

Room was small, but perfectly fine for a one person business traveler. I stayed 5 nights during a conference. Hotel was well maintained and clean - friendly staff.

No air conditioning as is the case with most affordable European/Swiss hotels, but they did give a small fan on request - it was actually pretty chilly at night as long as you keep your window open. However, it's on a busy street for cars not people if you are a light sleeper. I am not a light sleeper, had the windows opened and was woken up a couple times, but had no problems going right back to sleep or sleeping in general. Noise woulnd't be a problem with closed windows.

Breakfast included was good, (cheese, ham, croissiants, cereal, coffee, tea) but a little monotonous 4 days in a row.

I'd have no problem staying here again if it fit my budget and where I wanted to be in Basel. It's just 2 blocks on the same road as the Congress Center.
