Central City Hotel Rochat

8/10 Good

"Great location and property! Although felt it was a bit overpriced."

Limehome Basel Town Hall

10/10 Excellent

"Google Maps wouldn’t show the properties exact location so we were a little concerned if we could find the building easily. However, the location is only 2 minutes walk from Marketplaz tram stop. Check-in was 3pm but we received a message around 2pm to advise that the accommodation was ready. Access was easy with the supplied codes. The laundry room on the 5th floor is operated by WeWash and was really useful . Clean accommodation, well located and quiet building. If you need a real person to speak with, someone is currently available for a couple of hours in the morning then again late afternoon/early evening. We would certainly use again."
