GGuest UserThe staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and they were able to communicate in English, which was very helpful. I would like to express my gratitude to Sina and the rest of the staff for their assistance in planning and organizing our last-minute travels. The hotel provided a delicious breakfast with a variety of halal options. We experienced a slightly uncomfortable night due to a malfunctioning air cooler, but the staff promptly provided us with fans to alleviate the situation. Overall, it was a brilliant location, and I would stay again.

GGuest UserBed was very uncomfortable. It's a folding Murphy's bed. Never seen this in a hotel. It was not so clearly visible while making the booking that hotel parking will cost extra CHF25 per night. All together there was no great financial benefit in selecting this hotel. I will not like to use this again.

GGuest UserI made a reservation through Trip.com for 1 night (2 days), but upon arrival the hotel informed me that it was booked as 2 nights (3 days), which would result in additional charges. Later, the hotel told me they would correct it to 1 night (2 days) and that no extra charges would be applied. They also took my card for deposit purposes but assured me that no payment would be made. However, on July 14th, I was charged twice: CHF 30 and CHF 46.8. Could you please clarify why these charges were made and arrange for a refund if they were charged in error?

AAnna801Basel is very small, just a 15-minute walk from the city center. This hotel is located on the edge of the city center, making it especially convenient for walking and public transportation. There is a beautiful lady at the front desk, gentle and polite. The room size is probably okay in Europe. Although the facilities are not new, they are very clean. There are capsule coffee in the room and the toiletries are provided by L'Occitane. The hotel is across the road from the Rhine, and there is a street behind the hotel similar to the bustling weekend market.

RRachelsparklesThe whole journey was amazing. Switzerland is the cleanest country I’ve been to and this hotel fulfills my expectations. There weren’t toothpaste in the room so I left a note asking for it and the staff left a post it note with dental amenities in our bathroom after we left. Cutest thing I’ve experienced, would highly recommend this room too!

IINDIGO6This is a recently renovated hostel with a modern design that stands out among the hostels I've stayed at. However, since it's completely self-service, the check-in process is difficult. I thought I could just ask a staff member, but no one was there, so it was difficult. I was able to check in by phone, but it seemed difficult at first glance. From morning to evening (around 6pm?), the staff at the restaurant attached to the hostel are available to help and store luggage, but they are only there to help, so they cannot confirm reservations. The entrance is from a courtyard-like area opposite the street, so it was difficult to find. It was a dormitory, but there were bath towels and soap in the shower room, and it was overall clean and I was satisfied with my stay.
