Really happy with our stay at this hotel in early November. Lovely reception staff (especially Eva who helped us with directions to the boat dock). A bonus was the free public transport in Basel if staying at hotels. It's very central, within walking distance from the train station and also the centre. Reasonably priced - 2 triple rooms for 460CHF... More

I stayed at this hotel for a week and it's one of those basic but good hotels. The hotel is located pretty central in Basel with a bus stop right infront of it and only 1-2 stops from the main SBB train station. You get a mobility card during your stay there which means you get to ride the bus... More

Instead of putting a chocolate on your pillow, it would be better to place some ear plugs there! The hotel is centrally located and if you had plenty to drink before, arrive late andleave early, I guess, it will work. But it is impossible to keep a window open as it faces the busiest street in Basel. There area couple... More

Dear Steinenschanze guest! Thank you very much for your review on Tripadvisor. We do use the feedback of our guests to try to improve our service and infrastructure, as far as it is possible. For us, even a negative review is always better than no review at all! As you mentioned, we also offer rooms facing the quiet garden, normally... More

The rather drab exterior hides a little gem of a hotel. Once inside the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful; our rooms although very small were very functional. It was the little things that made a difference though such as the garden courtyard where we sat one afternoon with a drink, the free bus tickets handed out, and the bottle... More

Dear Steinenschanze guest! Thank you very much for your kind review. We as hotel always use any kind of feedback to improve the quality of our service. We are fully aware, that some of our rooms are smaller than the "standard" in other countries or categories. That is why we match this "disadvantage" with the best service possible and those... More

Check-in was very good with extremely friendly people. The rooms are nice and modern (recently refurbished?) with flatscreen TV's (which couldn't be watched from the bed in our first room). After staying one night in the noisy front room the staff moved us to a quiet room. This only had a (smaller than) Queen bed. We can't sleep on such... More

Good value for money. The breakfast is standard and the service wasnt great the 2 days we vere there. Bread was lacking although we... More

Very cozy hotel with really spacious rooms. I got luck and got a room with a HUGE balcony overseeing the back building! But enjoying great weather at the time. Modern furniture and very basic service. Not great food, restaurant and breakfast. The service is fine to good and the staff are welcoming and friendly. Good location across the street from... More

We have just returned from 5 nights at this great hotel. The location is perfect for the old city although you need to be fit for all the steps. The quickest, cheapest and easiest way (especially if you have suitcases) to get from the Euroairport is number 50 bus to train station then number 30 bus from train station (one... More

We stayed one night in Basel on our way back from a Switzerland holiday in order to catch an early TGV to Paris the next morning for a Eurostar back to London. It is a clean and efficiently run hotel, no longer affiliated with Minotel and run as a charity to help disadvantaged individuals. Echo other reviews that it appears... More
