Love the convenience of the location. The floor plan was unexpected but great; charming. Loved having the two bathrooms (one full, one half). Wish it had air conditioning. It was warm and stuffy when we arrived.

I liked how convenient it was to parking. It seemed like a free parking pass was provided, however, there were no instructions and ultimately it did not work. The Basel pass was a nice touch, however, I was only there for an overnight and was not able to use it. I was unaware that there would be no reception desk. This is a huge drawback.

Noise Noise Noise
Such a noisy place, and had requested a quietly sited room! The hotel is just about on the road, just a narrow pavement. Also can hear the trams all through the night. Bin men early in the morning, oh and the bins have an unpleasant smell.

There was no one to help. Pushing the button outside only made a person open the outside door. But no one to talk to in order to figure out registration machine. The email they were supposed to send the day before was in German. No air. Bad lock on door. No safety whatever. Bathroom was nice!

It will do for the situation
Situation: Arrived at Basel airport to late to get train home. Website said a person would be there to great me, no person- it’s was a machine check in. The room number (A2) doesn’t match the lift & door labels (OG2)… and 1 am I was not very patient for this system. Room was clean, bed was very narrow but comfortable, breakfast was good, but odd system. Very noisy building. You can hear everyones voice in hall way, and cleaners start hovering at 8:45am.

Great hotel, central location.
A great hotel for those on a budget looking for somewhere convenient and central. Would definitely stop there again, breakfast being included was an added bonus. Very convenient for the main station.

Nice Motel
Perfect location and very clean. Room was a bit too warm at night but opening the window meant noise from outside made sleeping difficult. Whilst the check-in was relatively straightforward, I'm not sure having no staff present is a good option. Breakfast was nice although the room that the food and drink is kept in can get a little crowded (i.e. if more than one person is in) Overall, great value for money and would stay again.

It is really centrally located right next to the main station. It is a great location if you intend to travel on from there. The motel is a not all to well soundproofed from noise inside and outside the motel. The rooms are decently spaced. Overall it is a motel I see myself recommending to others.

Rooms are self check-in, there's no staff. The room wasn't ready at check-in time, resulting in having to return to the train station w/ luggage in tow. Proximity to train station is good but it's located on a sketchy block.

Automated check-in, need your passport number
Fine for overnight but for longer it’s a bit impersonal having no reception staff. Good to have easy checkout - just need to leave the door-key in the return box. They should advise beforehand that you need your passport number for check-in.

Beautiful room and very convenient location to everything. We had the quadruple bedroom that is almost similar to an apartment. A second bedroom upstairs, skylight that opens, so fresh breeze can get in. Very few human contact with the staff. Nobody was there to help us get a quick tour of the hotel. Except the maintenance lady who spoke very little English. She seems to do all the work. Breakfast is great!
