Based on recent reviews

Guests appreciate the B&B Hotel Basel for its convenient access to public transportation, especially the tram line 14, which quickly connects you to the city center; the complimentary Basel Card is also a significant perk, offering free access to public transport, including the bus to the airport.

Fantastic City Stay!

public transportation city view secure parking

The hotel provided complimentary tickets for all public transportation. This was a HUGE benefit for exploring the city. My room offered a great view. The hotel also featured secure parking in the undercroft.

The air conditioning barely worked. It was too warm in the room for proper sleep.

basic amenities, small rooms

small room no coffee

the room was quite small. it barely had enough space for luggage and moving around felt cramped. also, i was disappointed that there were no coffee or tea facilities in the room. having to pay extra for a simple cup downstairs felt inconvenient.
