Perfect location. Remarkable architecture of the hotel. The staff is very good and responsive. The beds were very comfortable and the room very clean.There are two fast elevators and we didn't have to wait. The roof terrace has a beautiful view at any time of the year. It is convenient for smokers. )

I loved absolutely everything there! The location, the view from my room, comfort, restaurant, cuisine, the owners are so friendly and attentive (they where available not only at dinner but at the breakfast too, that I loved so much). I thought this would be my transition point (I were traveling to Italy), but no, I had an amazing rest!

    My stay at IIP Apartments was absolutely fantastic.

    My stay at IIP Apartments was absolutely fantastic. We actually extended our stay. The location couldn't have been more convenient, with stores and the tram station just a stone's throw away. This made exploring the city incredibly easy. The management team was outstanding; they were always available to answer any questions and offered great suggestions on local attractions and dining spots. Their hospitality truly made me feel welcome and well taken care of throughout my stay. The apartment itself was modern and spacious, exactly as described. I stayed in a king studio, which was beautifully furnished and provided all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep every night. Overall, IIP Apartments exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you're visiting for business or pleasure, I highly recommend IIP Apartments for its excellent location, superb management, and comfortable accommodations. I look forward to returning on my next visit to the area.

    Not in my nature, but I disliked about anything in this recent booking. 1) The hotel management only informed us about constructional works 24h upfront our arrival. The works had a huge impact on site exposure. 2) The two rooms had an extreme noisy airco 3) the sheets on the bed were winter bedding, extreme hot in the middle of summer creating discomfort 4) the breakfast was quite absent, no choice, no bacon and eggs, no meats... extremely poor 5) very poor hotel despite earlier read feedback... very poor

    An excellent base for exploring all parts of that area of Switzerland but requires a car or use of public transport to get to the main sites and scenery. We use it as a great value base for exploring by car and you'd be hard pressed to beat it for quality and value in that capacity.

    We stayed in Basel for a week, using it as a transit point for traveling to other cities in the area: Colmar, Luzerne, and Freiburg. Basel itself has easily enough to see for three full days: interesting museums, beautiful architecture, cathedrals, dining, etc. If you stay for more than a day you get a Basil Pass which allows you to use public transit for free. The public transit works like a clock, although it might be a bit difficult at first to figure out what goes where.

    Baden has a beautiful old town with cobble stones and a riverwalk. Lots to explore, walking up to the Castle ruins, has a casino, thermal baths, cafés, restaurants, bars, shops, boutiques. The public transportation is amazing with the train station right there by the old town and all the buses. Only 20 min. to the Zurich main train station. Great connection as well if you'r traveling by car. Baden has a good feel to it.

    Basel has a mix of old buildings, many museums (~40), lots of interesting streets and alleyways as well as a full range of good quality shops and restaurants. Very enjoyable to walk along the tree lined paths along the Rhine too, where you can find numerous drink stalls and openings to restaurants. Eating out is not cheap, but quality if usually good.
