Pros:

Personal und die Chefin waren sehr nett. Trotz des Zimmers direkt zur Straße war es nachts ruhig und morgens wenig Verkehr, welcher nur durchrollte. Man konnte entspannt schlafen.
Das Frühstück war zwar übersichtlich aber vollkommen ausreichend. Die Brötchen waren frisch und sehr gut. Zur Tram sind es nur ca. 200 m.
Mein Fahrrad konnte ich nachts kostenlos in der Tiefgarage unterstellen .

Cons:

Die Ausstattung des Zimmers war eher im 80er Jahre Jugendherbergsstil. Jedoch alles vorhanden was man braucht. Es war sauber.

Pros:

Positiv hervorzuheben sind das bequeme Bett mit einer sehr komfortablen Matratze sowie das freundliche Personal.

Cons:

Für den sehr hohen Preis war die Ausstattung äußerst spartanisch. Das WLAN hat in meinem Zimmer oft nicht funktioniert. Das Frühstück war sehr schlicht und wenig abwechslungsreich, der Kaffee hat leider nicht geschmeckt. Insgesamt stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hier nicht

Pros:

Very well located to get access to the tram and into Basel and also to drive south into some of the countryside. Parking was easy and away from traffic. Rooms were basic and a little dated but very clean and very good value for money. The team were kind and helpful, I don't speak any German and their English was good. The breakfast was good, a nice selection of meats, cheeses, pastries, fruit and yoghurt. Well done the Lionesses for retaining the Euros :-)

A stop en route to home
Pros:

Favourable priced, friendly and helpful staff who were able to speak a little English to help me out. A secure underground carpark was very useful.

Cons:

Breakfast was adequate but somewhat limited . We had a far superior breakfast and a previous B&B for less per night. I wasn't impressed by the wedging open of fire doors onto the only escape route from the sleeping accommodation. I removed the wedges before I went to bed but they were in use the following morning.
