It was in a great location for public transport and walking distance to the city centre. All the staff were very nice and helpful with any questions or requests. The back garden area was also nice to sit in and have a drink.

the host Kai is very friendly. He explained everything in details and we had a really good friendly conversation. He provided Basel Card which can be used for public transports and some discounts might be reached via this card which I found something extraordinary and superb (seems like every city accommodation provide in Switzerland). Now about accommodation. Amazing place to stay, highly recommended. Clean, neat, comfy, warm. You can find literally everything you need. If you need something and you can’t find it then hosts can provide it, they are available via WhatsApp or call. Overall, the best experience and the best hosts, and really good place to stay in Basel.

    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.
