"Very cool building. Especially helpful and carried my bags up to our room 64 stairs. No elevator in our building but I would still stay here again. Great location"

City Inn Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice place to use as a base. Location is perfect for exploring Basel. Facilities were clean and perfectly functional for our needs. The breakfast was ample, with a good variety of fresh food and drinks. There is a bit of a walk from reception to the room but not excessive and does involve a couple of flights of stairs. Breakfast is on the 8th floor which you can get to by lift. From here you have lovely views over the city. The staff were always helpful when we had questions. Would recommend for a budget friendly option with great location."
