Everything was great, but the service in particular was outstanding - many thanks to Hilde and Nadine! I mainly stayed here because of the unusual design (I love an old industrial building!) and it did not disappoint on that score. The journey into the city centre was also very easy from SILO; I did it about six times in three days. I chose Basel solely because of its rail connections, but am glad that I took time in the end to explore - it's a wonderful and friendly city.

I was thoroughly impressed by the apartment’s exceptional location...! Perfectly situated, offering both convenience and a sense of calm away from the bustle. The interior was tastefully designed, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything one might need for a comfortable stay. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, making it easy to settle in immediately. Every detail, from the quality of the furnishings to the smooth check-in, reflected a high standard of care and professionalism. A truly pleasant experience. I would not hesitate to return. Thank you!!

The room was exactly as in the photos, comfortable, clean and modern. The bed is also very comfortable. Location is central but quiet, my room had a view on Basel Rathaus. The support team was very responsive in answering questions over email. I also got Basel Card over an email that I could use for transportation. There was an option for free early check-in, which I did not use since my arrival was in latter afternon. I liked that only code is used for unlocking, so that I did not have to worry about carrying the key.

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
