This is one of the best guesthouses I've seen so far. The room that we got had plenty of space, including a kitchen that was the best equipped as possible! We had only one night stay, but that kitchen had every kitchenette that you could possibly think of, including a dishwasher! The hosts are providing you with a few types of coffees and teas, complimentary. Very comfortable beds as well. Fully equipped shared bathroom, but that won't be a bother at all since you're sharing it with only one other room. It's also so easy to get around. There's a direct tram line from the Basel SBB station, or direct bus from the airport. You'll have like 2 minutes walk to get to your room. Also, the hosts are providing you with free Basel pass, so all of the rides around, museum entries, and even the zoo visit will be covered. Hosts couldn't be more kind and welcoming! Whenever I'll get back to this city, this will be my accommodation for sure.

I've spent a night in the room, as i was traveling for work, and i needed to buy some personal stuff, and Isan (the person who receives you) helped me a lot about where i could find good stores and good prices around the area as she is a local. She's very friendly, and you get a surprise gift after leaving the place!! I would reserve a room again if I'm around.

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.

Really good location, ideal to cut through into town. Property was spotlessly clean. Good correspondence with the owner, who was very helpful and answered questions promptly. Would highly recommend this place when visiting Basel.
