8/10 Good

Nice to stay
Thanh Tuan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Some rooms only have partial lift access, so you may need to manually carry your luggage up a flight of stairs or so - but it’s a great, economical base in Basel that’s totally worth the effort. The room is pop-modern, simple but clean and highly functional layout, with a comfortable pillow and duvet and thoughtful amenities that make you feel well looked after without excess. The staff are very professional and friendly, assisting with check-in, and self-checkout is available via the email notification you receive. I’d be very happy to book again.
machiko, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

It was clean and convenient to the train station. I knew that it was a walk up, but three flights of 16 steps each with a suitcase is too much. There was a very noisy rom AC and opening the tiny window just let in more noise from the street.
Anne, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Perfect location near railway station and trams. Small, basic room, no view, but ok for a short stay.
Barbara, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Excellent proximity to the station. The property is an add-on for the more prestigious Hotel Metropol. The directions to the breakfast room were confusing so we made ourselves comfortable in the only one we could find. It didn't seem to go down very well. Perhaps because it was the Metropols dining room. Would we use the City Inn again? Probably.

Budget. Close to central station and not far from city center. But need renovation. Room is really small. It looks bigger on the photos.

HILMI, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quaint hotel in central Basel, very close to the train station. Great reception by staff and the added bonus of a free public transport card made the stay at Basel inn a great one!
Lovisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Easy walk from train station, and not too far to walk into the city. Unexpected colour scheme and lighting in the shower!

Reception

I tend only do reviews if something is particularly good or bad. Overall the hotel was very good (a little awkward to find though) but I write this review to mention Cedric on reception. He was excellent, helpful, knowledgeable, efficient and a free upgrade! Thank you.
Bruce, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This was a slightly strange maze of three inter-connected hotels but having had trouble locating which of the three reception points was working, I got checked in to a very nice room. Very convenient for rail station and old town. Excellent on site restaurant

Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location, very close to central station and tram stops. Really convenient for exploring the city and zoo, as well as further afield. The hotel is not staffed 24/7 but the adjacent hotel (which is part of the same group) is, and they can assist with check in/out, bookings and other queries. Everyone was really friendly. Not all of the hotel is accessible by lift so if this is needed, let the hotel know when booking. We would stay here again.
