Reception
I tend only do reviews if something is particularly good or bad. Overall the hotel was very good (a little awkward to find though) but I write this review to mention Cedric on reception. He was excellent, helpful, knowledgeable, efficient and a free upgrade! Thank you.

Quaint hotel in central Basel, very close to the train station. Great reception by staff and the added bonus of a free public transport card made the stay at Basel inn a great one!

10/10 Exceptional

Great value. Room was compact and clean. Decent breakfast. Super convenient location near the train station.
Jeanette, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

the fact that this is just right there at the Train station, and the price is very affordable for the exchange we got!
Sandrine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, very close to central station and tram stops. Really convenient for exploring the city and zoo, as well as further afield. The hotel is not staffed 24/7 but the adjacent hotel (which is part of the same group) is, and they can assist with check in/out, bookings and other queries. Everyone was really friendly. Not all of the hotel is accessible by lift so if this is needed, let the hotel know when booking. We would stay here again.
Emily, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Give it a pass. Not mobility accessible
The only good things about this hotel: Alina at the front desk and the room is large. Access the hotel from Hotel Metropol. There is no ramp and you have a flight of stairs to the door. Then more stairs to reception. The elevator wasn’t working - room was on the 5th floor. Layout of the hotel is one of the weirdest I’ve ever seen.

8/10 Very good

This was a slightly strange maze of three inter-connected hotels but having had trouble locating which of the three reception points was working, I got checked in to a very nice room. Very convenient for rail station and old town. Excellent on site restaurant
colin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, convenient to train and trams, walk from train station! Easy walking to local attractions such as the zoo, and restaurants. The free Basel card means free transport on the trams that pass by the hotel door. We received an upgraded room which was wonderful, very spacious,clean and quiet. Staff have been very welcoming and helpful with information and luggage lifting for tired travellers. Recommend and will stay again.
