We stayed for a night in December and had booked two rooms. The grounds are large and great for children. The breakfast spread was good, in the restaurant, which is adjacent to the main building, like a chalet. The rooms are no frill-the staff quite professional and helpful. Most of the rooms were occupied by people attending conferences and seminars... more

If you are okay with institutional concrete walls and no decor or frills, then it's okay. Not what we were looking for at all. We had poor customer service when we asked to switch rooms to one with a bathtub for my son (of only 2 tubs in the whole place). The room they then gave us was the attic... more

I recently spent one night at the hotel on a weekend package from Basel Tourism (note it is MUCH cheaper to go through them for many Basel hotels). The hotel is a protestant mission with some fun space-age features like front doors that swish open when you touch the stairs. My single room was spotlessly clean. The bed was built... more

We stayed in this property during the quarterfinals of Euro 2008. The hotel was fully booked so we were given one of the satellite apartments across the road. The flat was excellent. Spacious bedroom, nice table, good kitchen, and an adequate bathroom. Location of the hotel is fantastic, within a short walking distance to the old city. Breakfast was fantastic... more

Big room with extra-large bath. Large breakfast taken in a small house in the park of the hotel. Friendly and calm in the center of Basel. more

We (my year-old son and my husband) stayed here for two nights. As my husband was in Basel on business, the hotel was booked for us. We were pleased with it in all regards. As with the other hotels we stayed at in Switzerland, this one is a member of VCH (Verband Christlicher Hotels), and is owned by a Protestant... more

Stayed here last year for one night - not longer I'm pleased to say. Although perfectly clean and adequate it is not really a hotel experience. Feels more like a student hostel. Check in was more of an interrogation than a welcome and the room I was given although comfortable and modern was totally lacking in character. Breakfast was OK... more

I booked the weekend package from Basel Tourismus ( basel.com) which included the Basel Card for free Museum access for less than the room alone. This was an excellent choice. The building sits on a large shaded park that gives it a very serene atmosphere even though it is only a block from the Spalentor gate. There is a free... more

We stayed at the Bildungszentrum 21 Hotel for a long weekend in July 2007. The hotel was relatively easy to find using the excellent public transport system in Basel. One tip : you don't need to buy a return ticker from the airport as the hotel gives you free travel for the duration of your stay, including the shuttle (bus... more
