Broken A/C
Facilities and hotel services were good, however the A/C or fan was not working in the room. Regardless of the cold weather outside the room was suffocating and hot. We were unable to sleep with the heat and there was no way of changing it.

Does what it says on the tin
The hotel offers everything a hotel usually does except a bar or restaurant. However the Novotel next door has both so sorted. A ten minute walk through an undercover tunnel takes you to the railway station and bus and tram terminal so you can get everywhere. The hotel gives you a city pass for reduced cost museum access and free travel. The term Budget sets the scene, but how long do you spend in your hotel when on a City Break?

Convenient, slightly out of the way hotel within walking range of main Basel train station and, therefore, of easy tram system. A budget, no frill affair, the hotel is serviceable. Frequented by a younger crowd. Not too close to restaurants.

Convenient location and value for money
The hotel offers all the basic amenities you would expect and is good value for money situated in a very central location with walkable distance from the city centre. The food was good, but could do with a bit more variety. Staff were also friendly and welcoming and the room was clean and comfortable.

Decent Hotel
Basic Ibis. Bed was so so. Shower had hair in it. There were little bugs in the room. The location was very good. Near public transportation. Easy to get to the airport.

Definitely get what you pay for. It’s a good cheap hotel, however the AC doesn’t work at all and you have to get a key to unlock window (they don’t tell you this). The toilet room has no lock and is closet. Also gave us small sized towels? Think of this place as a glorified hostel but not much more

Very bare bones, not even Kleenex in the room. Poor ventilation. Not enough towels. May be good for young people but not meant for seniors.

Clean and friendly for a short stay
Easy check-in and friendly staff on arrival. We were only there for a night after a cancelled flight, so only there for a few hours. But we both slept well and no problems at all whilst there! Not the biggest rooms, but for the price absolutely perfect.
