The only thing that needs upgrading are the towels. They were very thin and scratchy. Theven old town area was very charming, especially since we were there during the holidays. I would stay at this hotel again if in the area.

Pros: Location very convenient for railway station. Breakfast was excellent.

Pros: Very pleasant atmosphere. Staff is very friendly Beautiful set up of dinning room and bublic resting area. A pleasure and enjoyable stay.

Cons: Cannot think of any specific remark.

Pros: The staff was professional, curteous, multi-lingual, and the front desk was always staffed. The hotel was amazingly generous with coffee, wine and snacks available throughout the day and evening. I also had free access to a computer and internet and a quiet place to settle in and work near the coffee, wine and snacks. A variety of international newspapers and magazines were available as well. Within just a few hundred yards I found the Marketplace, filled with shops, restaurants, and an art museum with an impressive collection of impressionist paintings (my favorite) was also just a 10 minute walk away. Did I mention there was free coffee, wine and snacks?

Pros: Loved the flooring in the room. No carpet!

Cons: Bathroom is pretty small with not much countertop, or hooks to hand anything.

Pros: The friendliest welcome we have ever received at a hotel. Transportation to and from hotel was excellent, and the hotel is in a great location, close to the old city center. Great value.

Pros: Fantastic staff. Take care of you and nothing is too much. Lovely hotel 2nd visit and when in Basel I will always stay there. The rooms and facilities are very good and it’s the staff make this hotel different from the rest!

Cons: I think evening meals would be great at the breakfast/ evening drinks area. It’s lovely and would be a great option, especially when tired. Although the location is superb and many restaurants are not too far away.

Pros: Clean, simple, great shower stall. L

Pros: I felt like I was staying at a friend's house. The staff were excellent- warm and inviting, and the facilities were so relaxing- a beautiful outdoor terrace and dining room that make my work travel feel like a mini vacation.

Pros: Great stay, met all expectations !!

Pros: Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Awesome breakfast buffet.

Pros: The front desk and staff is exceptional

Pros: From check-in to leaving, an excellent experience. Hotel is literally across the street from the train station. It's a nice walk to the old town area and the river. And a quick trolly ride back with the included free town pass. Room was large and well equipped. Bath was spotless, well-equipped and with large walk-in shower. Included breakfast was delicious and offered good variety served in beautiful dining room.

Cons: Nothing. This hotel was great.

Pros: The staff were all great, very friendly and accommodating, willing to assist in every way they can, from the front desk reception to the restaurant staff to housekeeping, and also the beautiful and gentle canine resident in the property :) The room was spacious and clean, and we even had two bathrooms / toilets in the room, perfect for our family of four (2 small kids)...and location was even more perfect, just right outside the basel sbb (like literally across) and the hotel is right beside mcdonalds and the supermarket...there’s also an asian restaurant a few steps away, a burger king, and also a starbucks...of course there are also some fancier restaurants nearby, plus the tram station is also literally just across so you can easily hop on one to get you around basel...the room rate also comes with the basel card (as with most hotels in basel) which allows you transport mobility around basel during your stay... The room rate comes with a full buffet breakfast which was sufficient and filling, had a good enough selection of breads, meats, cheese and fruits. The restaurant ambience was old-world design but cozy and comfortable :) The room rate also came with free minibar, coffee, sufficient water, a few drinks and some snacks which were all organic (it’s a bio-hotel). It was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend this hotel — great for families but the acoustics were also good enough that it was not noisy and even business travelers could have a comfortable stay.

Cons: It was a bit pricey (but maybe just about 20 to 30 euros per night difference) compared to other hotels which were a bit farther from the basel sbb, so i guess it’s OK...for families like us traveling with small kids, the convenience will almost always come with a little bit higher price tag but thankfully it was not as much :)

Pros: Wonderful experience. Nicola the owner ihas been very friendly and warm. Since I need to come back to Basel I will definitlely will first check availability at the Micro Hotel before trying others.

Pros: Great location, good sized comfy rooms and amazingly nice staff! Surely will go back again once travel to Basel!

Pros: Excellent

Cons: Pretty much perfect

Pros: Feeling so welcomed

Pros: Very friendly staff. Being picked up from the airport without complaint was very helpful even though it was 10:30pm on a Sunday, following a flight delay. Brilliant and spacious room. Lovely to have a balcony. Also good to have a bath in the bathroom and not just a shower. Kettle was also provided. The Basel card is great for using public transport, including the final transfer back to the airport (combined with initial pickup I therefore didn't spend a penny on public transport all week). Location of hotel wasvvery convenient for everything I needed to do.

Cons: Didn't seem to be able to access English-speaking TV apart from News Channels. I could flick to them (eg Film4) but the screen was blank. Wifi sometimes dropped out. Duvet cover a little uncomfortable for me. Finally: the price was quite high, but not untypical for Basel, unfortunately. None of this would prevent me coming back to this hotel however.

Pros: Very friendly owners, can arrange collection from airport/Train. Good breakfast. Lovely room with balcony. Air conditioning was good, a must in summer.

Cons: Only issue is it was a little more expensive than we normally pay in Basel, but they did upgrade our room which compensated to some degree.

Cons: i got a free dfink when I arrived and the reception was very nice and welcomming

Pros: I received warm welcome when I walked in to this hotel. Check-in was quick and easy.

Pros: Beautiful, I could live here.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Excellent location, very clear and stylish place which gives filling that you come to the old friend home. Near tram station, Zoo and supermarket. And a lot of beautiful old buildings around.

Pros: Right on the #8 tram line -easy ride to downtown. Marcus was a gracious host. Promptly set up an ironing board my first night so I could take care of wrinkled clothes. Breakfast was always ready on time. Bathroom very clean. I will stay here again!

Cons: A bit pricey for us.

Pros: Wonderful location within walking distance of the river for people taking river boat cruises.

Cons: We were in the new wing so there were many stairs to climb.

Pros: Great location, helpful staff, fabulous breakfast

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Exceptional location! The old building is skilfully renovated and you feel at home from check-in on. For Switzerland excellent standard for the price! The staff is super friendly, the breakfast buffet has a good choice and the hotel is very quiet.

Cons: The shower could have been a bit bigger.

Pros: Liked closeness to city, size of room and clean.

Cons: Very hard on us senior travelers to get to room. Staircases and 2 different elevators with luggage was a bad first impression. Need better signage to get back to reception. Used to having free coffee in the room or or at least in the dining area. Stayed in room 15. Shower curtain is too short and keeps sticking to you while showering. Some reception people were helpful but the one who welcomed us was very curt and seemed like our questions were an annoyance.

Pros: Lovely clean, modern hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Our room was really big and quiet with a lovely view of the courtyard. There are tram and bus stops just a 3 minute walk away.

Pros: Hotel with character and modern facilities, friendly welcome, excellent breakfast & perfectly situated for exploring old Basel. Rooms spacious, good quality art prints in rooms and corridors.

Cons: It's a pity the hotel has no evening restaurant, but there are plenty of excellent restaurants in easy walking distance, or a free tram ride away.

Pros: Comfortable and clean room.

Pros: It’s comfortable and artistic.

Cons: Nothing to complain.

Pros: Very good location, across from tram stop. Voucher good for all local transportation for the entire stay. good breakfast Very helpful staff, exceptional is a better description

Cons: Elevator doesn't service all floors. If you're on the top floor, you'll have to negotiate up to three flights of stairs to reach your room. Our room either 36 or 39, built in attic space was nice however portions have a very low ceiling

Pros: Room was clean, comfortable, and had quite modern furnishings. Staff was friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast included with room.

Cons: Room was not air conditioned. Had to use a small flight of stairs to get to our room, which was cumbersome with luggage.

Pros: We loved the historic hotel! The location was excellent- easy to walk and a tram stop out in front of the hotel.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Room was very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The hotel is in a great location to explore Basel. Would recommend this hotel.

Pros: Artistic

Cons: The wooden winding staircase in older part a bit difficult for older not-so-Steady guests

Pros: Great location, at first a bit hard to find because its a bit hidden, located on a hill in an old courtyard. But very central and just beautifully located, especially in summer when you can make use of the copurtryard I imagine this to be a really great location. The hotel has charme and is boutique-style. Apparently the building has once been a prison, which on the one hand adds charme and makes it more unique (you can tell by the small entry doors to the room, for example), on the other hand it also means the (single) rooms are not too small but also not really spacious. That being said, the space is used well, e.g. the bathroom is not big and rigth next to the bedroom but somehow it all feels smartly done (nice shower by the way, no bathtub in the single rooms). The service staff was very friendly and attentive. Overall, also considering the other options in Basel, I can recommend this hotel mainly because of the location and the value for money.

Cons: The curtains in the rooms! I will never understand why a hotel which puts effort into being boutiqu-style, has nice drawings and paintings in the hallways, and has sort of a distinguished vibe puts curtains in the room that look like you could get them for 10 euros at IKEA. Its obviously not a big deal, I just dont understand it, the rooms would look much, much greater if you would put some decent (light green!), good-quality curtains in the rooms ;-) ...

Pros: The hotel is very central, nice and clean. and has its own history.The breakfast is good with lots of options. Everybody in the staff is so welcoming and caring, I would definitely recommend it! As an extra, there is an elevator that brings you from Barfusserplatz to the reception

Pros: Clean, comfortable rooms; helpful, friendly staff. Great location.

Cons: Restaurant is very expensive.

Pros: Located in a historic building overlooking Barfusser Platz, the property even has a private elevator taking you to and from the square below. Previously a monastery and then a jail, the hotel embodies Basel history. Restaurants and shops abound in this old city neighborhood.

Cons: I only wished I had a larger window to get even more of the view.

Pros: Beautiful old historic building in old town Basel. Water fountain in front court yard in which one can drink.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything was good except the single bed which was too small and not comfortable! Staff were friendly and professional and the location was good in the middle of the city

Cons: The bed was too small for me. I am of average size but still the bed was too small and not comfortable.

Pros: Good Internet, minimalistic style, friendly staff!

Cons: No TV which is a positive thing in my opinion!

Pros: The building has a history and a good story to go with it.

Cons: The story ended so they should come into the 20th century it was a basic room that lets you think you have a balcony which I asked for not to step out onto the window. No tv. Bad idea on the passwords for internet.

Pros: Great location! Friendly staff! Great bar on site!

Cons: No closet in room.

Pros: Excellent location in the historic old towm and a very comfortable room

Pros: The style / ambience

Cons: Lounge a little dark

Pros: Super amazing hotel! Really nice atmosphere, really comfortable, sweet staff, nice and clean! Great location! I went for a 5 day conference in Basel, and had no expectations at all. But this hotel actually wanted me to skip the conference and just stay in the hotel! Sadly I didn't have time to try their impressive selection of gin!

Cons: Nothing bad to say.

Pros: Location was great to get to sites!

Pros: Everything was perfect

Cons: The gym was small.

Pros: Excellent location, friendly staff, public transport is infront of the hotel building, excellent city view from the room. Mini bar is free and delicious breakfast.

Cons: Not enough parking space and hotel should advise guest to look for nearby parking house and give the advice on web.

Pros: Wonderful localisation, mini-bar included, public transport card included, premium window view.

Cons: Lack of kettle inside a room. Poor lobby and reception - old fashioned...

Pros: All the rest! Room is compact but equipped with quality furniture. Bathroom is small but shower is great with hygiene products from Rituals. Free mini bar and coffee machine always appreciated!

Cons: The only negative point was the check-in process. 5 people waiting in line, 2 staff at the desk of which one was kept busy by a client. It took 25 minutes to complete check-in what is definitely too long. Besides, staff was not as welcoming as what you would expect from a 4star hotel.

Pros: Location and staffs definitely are my choices.

Cons: Rooms are small for king bed room. However, appointments are well integrated. Efficient design reminds me cabins in cruise ship’s.

Pros: Nice and comfortable place. There is free coffe and other soft drinks available in the lounge. Tram stops is closeby, a shopping mall with some restauraunts right next door.

Cons: Double rooms are not ideal if you are not a couple. But worked ok.

Pros: Bed & room some free drinks

Cons: Expansive Parking & cold welcoming

Pros: Spacious rooms, friendly and helpful staff.

Pros: We were welcomed by friendly staff. The room was bigger than we expected, comfortable and clean. Check in and check out very easy.

Cons: -

Pros: - Size of room - Bed is comfortable & large - Minibar is free for our room type - Restaurant next to the hotel is superb! Must try. - Shopping mall next to hotel - The Goldie that belongs to the hotel manager is very cute & friendly!

Pros: Very nice room and bathroom. Near old town. Good place for a short stay.

Pros: Perfect stay for a quick business trip. On site restaurant was a big perk. Close to all but very quiet with great amenities. Will definitely stay again when back in Basel!

Pros: nice boutique hotel in the (business) centre of Basel (walking distance), big room, best bed we had in a hotel, access to a library with small kitchen and sofas, good breakfast, friendly staff (i forgot a personal belonging in the hotel room, the staff found it and send it back to me! thank you again for that!)

Cons: we hadn't enough time to enjoy the sauna ! it was complicated to find a place to park the car (parking system in the street is quite complicated, so we ended in an underground car park)

Pros: It was like home. The host was very kind and informative.

Pros: Location was good. Room size was good.

Cons: Room smelled moldy. Only one small window could be opened. Very noisy when other guests use common areas.

Pros: The Rhine and the city center is easy to reach, quiet, surrounded by a garden. The owner explains whatever you need to know about the city and gives you a map, and a Basel card, so traveling is easy. You also find brochures about museums. There is a coffee machine, nespresso capsulas, electric kettle and tea available.

Cons: There was no internet. In my room there was only a door to the garden (no window) so if you want to have fresh air during the night you need to open the door either to the garden or to the hall. Which was OK for me because I shared the ground floor with a quiet person.

Pros: Great host and very nice place. Quiet!

Pros: Clean, modern, good location, good facilities, fantastic host with lots of information, good kitchen facilities with free coffee and tea, comfy beds and a quiet location

Cons: No complaints other than i couldn't find the doorbell but that might have been my mistake, but owner responded to my email and met me very quickly to ensure my entry

Pros: This B&B consists of only two rooms on the ground floor of a private house, but everything is brand new, there is a kitchen and a shower unit and overall the place looks great. A city card for free travel on the public transport is provided, Wi-Fi is fast and stable.

Cons: Because there is no formal check-in, you really need to inform your arrival time in advance.

Pros: Very spacious. Welcome fruit, water, wine and beer. convenient location- good supermarket nearby.

Cons: Personally, there was too much design knick-knacks that were annoying instead of appealing. It made for a homely feeling, but felt more like clutter. The unit is very clean, but there was a strong odor of cat-litter box that could't be rid of. The apartment tries to be upscale, but it feels more ikea than luxury.

Pros: Great location. Amazing views. Modern apartment with nice terrace. The owner was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We loved our stay.

Pros: Very cozy apartment just next to the Kunts Museum. The landlord is so considering, you can find anything you need at the apartment, even a pizza cutter or a sticky roller for clothes. And I love the balcony! Just Fantastic!

Pros: It’s just a lovely place to stay!

Pros: Amazing views of the city

Cons: Nothing. Everything was perfect.
