We loved the room design and the fact that it was spotlessly clean. There's free water, coffee, and fruits, and the breakfast is delicious. We also received the BaselCard for free transportation throughout the city (including the bus to the airport) and reduced admission for museums. The hotel is located in a quiet part of the town

Fantastic facilities, we liked the layout, it worked well for our family group and the apartment had everything we needed. Good location. Very clean and well appointed.

It was spacious, conveniently located, and had many amenities. It was very clean and well-maintained. The beds were comfortable. It was easy and fast to communicate with the landlord. We were able to leave our bags early before check-in as well as store them longer after check-out. I would definitely stay again and also recommend it to others.

    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.
