I had a lovely private room with bath, I used the kitchen at the YMCA hostel next door. They also stored by bags for me on the day of leaving so could walk around without them. The staff at YMCA were very helpful and there is a small shop/restaurant for snacks and drinks. Totally recommend!

Chic and Modern

Situated right behind the Train Station, the location is perfect for travelling around Basel. The free teas and coffees were a welcome surprise as there was an hour delay in check in before the room was ready. Only quibble was the puzzling rule about not having alcohol in your room, quite bizarre really.

Handy for the train station, handy for trams

Pleasant all round. Excellent room for resting and sleeping - but requiring shift into YMCA social area (I was in Stay@SBB) for work, planning and coffee etc. Nice little garden, though the little low tables should be wiped clean every few hours instead of never; not keen on unemptied ashtrays, either. Wonderful to have free coffee on tap. Easy atmosphere, everyone doing their own thing, though watch out for certain groups who might colonise the kitchen - should be more rules there. Great location for the train station, which itself has some good shopping facilities - late-hours CoOp not least of all - and therefore trams that go to most city spots. Good value. Free travel pass - for my three days - much appreciated.

Clean modern hotel in central Basel

Had a really good time at the hotel, it is very modern and clean, the staff are very helpful and friendly, the room I got wasn't as big as the one I thought I had booked, or that was showing on my booking confirmation email, not sure if you they use a generic picture?! The room though was very clean and modern, had wifi, but no TV. There is a communal area where you can cook something if you want, an area to eat and relax, as well as a pool table. You can buy breakfast and it's reasonably priced and very nice!
