Casa Esperanza is located a 5-minute tram ride from the centre of Basel and offers free WiFi and a shared terrace with seating area. The rooms all come with a flat-screen TV.

The staff, Kai, was super helpful. He gave us relevant info and answered all our questions and did his best to accommodate our requests. The room was very neat and clean. We had everything we needed: tea, coffee, cups, plates, etc. The bed was comfortable. Kai was very responsive whenever I contacted him via WhatsApp. Considering how expensive Basel is, I feel I got great value for what I paid.

Located in the centre of Basel, Rheinstream Guesthouse Basel provides accommodation with free WiFi in a historic building.

The owner actually waited for us, even though this was a self checking guest house. He brought our suitcase upstairs and fetched some more bottles of water. So nice and thoughtful!

Situated 1.4 km from Zoological Garden, 2.4 km from Jewish Museum of Basel and 2.6 km from Schaulager, Basel-Stadt Gundeldingen Zimmer 401, WC in the hallway, outside the room offers accommodation...

Easy self-service access to the room, plus a kitchen facility (the coffee machine and the few tea options were a nice addition). The washroom was very well cleaned, as well as the room.

Originally a Capuchin monastery dating from the 17th century, Kloster Dornach is only 50 metres from Dornach-Arlesheim Train Station and 12 km from Basel.

The hotel is set n a former monastery, and one can feel the atmosphere of tranquility and peace. Everything was clean. The bed was comfy and the room was quiet. I liked the rural location, but close to public transport, free parking and a restaurant on the site. The staff was nice too. The room overlooked the nice garden. I will return

    Great hostel with very friendly and helpful staff! As a cyclist I was really happy with the bike storage. The hostel is big, but does not feel crowded, and the dorms are quite and spotlessly clean. There are all kinds of facilities: A large kitchen, study room, bar, laundry room. Walking distance to the train station.
