“Located in a daunting-looking building...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2010 via mobile

Located in a daunting-looking building, we had to drag our bags up the steps outside to the imposing wooden door. The Addams Family feel was heightened when it swung open automatically.
The room had cork tiles for a floor and low, futon-style bed. A low, exposed wooden roof beam made for an interesting if potentially dangerous feature.
The room had a TV and nothing else. Very Spartan. Then I found out it was a hotel owned by evangelical missionaries and it all made sense, particularly the lack of bar or restaurant. The location is close to the city centre but there aren't many food or drink options in the immediate vicinity.
The breakfast was very disappointing. No cooked option, just cereals or cold meats, a fruit salad or breads. Hot drinks aren't
properly prepared but provided by machines.

“disappointed to other swisse hotels”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed at the Hotel for 3 nights, the rooms were big & sterile, the bath towels old & thin. There was no restaurant for evening meals. The coffee machine kept breaking down in the breakfast room however the breakfast room did look out over the lovely garden. I had 2 things missing from the room- one was an mp3 player. I rang the hotel 10 days after I left & the man on the desk said they werent in lost property & was not very helpful at all. However, after 3 months I received an email to say my things had been found!!!!! They have now been returned to me in Australia. I looked at the picture of the hotel on tripadvisor & could not wait to get there as its appearance was so inviting I just wish that the hotel was more inviting & friendly from the inside.

“Reliable and simple. Calm and peaceful.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2010

The hotel is a professionally managed location owned by a church institution. It offers simple but comfortable rooms in the middle of Basel and a very nice breakfast in the restaurant. It is close to tram stations and a 10 min footwalk brings you to the old town of Basel. I like the atmosphere and I always come back when I am in Basel. The reason is the peaceful atmosphere and the friendliness of the guests (!). I love it because it is not the usual sterile hotel experience this hotel offers.

“Simple and nice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2010

As it was a business trip I found the hotel rather nice! The was very clean and good-furnished. The breakfast was also good. One thing I didn't like as lack of room service and restaurant. Anyway the location is good and service too. I had no problems with them.

“Like a university dorm, with rude staff”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2009

We stayed for one night and were glad it was not longer. The hotel shares a building with some other institutions and we felt as though we were in a college dorm ( a very clean one, but soulless). The room was large, and decorated in blacks, grey and steel, with functional lighting. Breakfast, although good in terms of range of food and a great coffee machine, was served in a large dining room that also felt like a college cafeteria. The experience could have been improved had the staff been more cordial but they were brusque to the point of being rude. The location was good, just a few minutes walk from the old town and we also used our free bus pass to escape from a downpour. Easy parking (extra fee). But overall, we were glad to be on our way after one night there.
