The apartment was clean and comfortable with lots of added little touches such as toiletries in the bathroom, herbs and spices in the kitchen and charger plugs available. The folder of information was invaluable. Kai made our stay extra special as it was our daughter birthday. We had an amazing time

I've spent a night in the room, as i was traveling for work, and i needed to buy some personal stuff, and Isan (the person who receives you) helped me a lot about where i could find good stores and good prices around the area as she is a local. She's very friendly, and you get a surprise gift after leaving the place!! I would reserve a room again if I'm around.

Our family stay at this apartment in Basel city centre was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The apartment was spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean—perfect for families with kids. The open-plan living area provided plenty of space for the kids to play while the fully equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, which was a huge bonus for us. The bedrooms were comfortable and quiet, ensuring everyone had a good night’s sleep. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like extra blankets, board games, and even a high chair and crib for our little one. The location was unbeatable—right in the heart of the city with easy access to public transport, shops, and family-friendly attractions like the Basel Zoo and beautiful parks along the Rhine River. It was so convenient to explore the city without needing a car. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing great recommendations for family activities and dining spots. Check-in was seamless, and we really appreciated the flexibility with check-out. Overall, this apartment was the perfect home base for our family trip to Basel. It combined comfort, convenience, and thoughtful amenities, making our stay stress-free and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to families visiting Basel!

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
