Absolutely great place to stay. Highly recommended! The service was fantastic, we loved the design of the room. Morning breakfast was perfect. Fresh, delicious with local twist. They treated us with an extra care, when I informed about my husband birthday. Our breakfast was surprised with delicious birthday cake and a candle light! This explains everything!

It was my first experiment at the hostel. And it was amazing, I haven't met such nice staff. This hostel is better than some hotels, it was very stylish, cozy and clean. In the guest room I met many travelers, had a very good time. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart.

We stayed in the two-bedroom apartment for a week as we prepared to leave Switzerland after 17 years. It was a bitter-sweet time for us, but we were immediately at ease when we checked in. The apartment was spacious, clean and fully stocked. Everything one could think of was at our disposal. Kai is a thoughtful host and if we needed anything we just needed to message him and he was ready to help. The location is fantastic with two tram lines just a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Supermarkets and restaurants are all around. For an expensive city like Basel this guesthouse is a real find.

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.

Really good location, ideal to cut through into town. Property was spotlessly clean. Good correspondence with the owner, who was very helpful and answered questions promptly. Would highly recommend this place when visiting Basel.
