ich würde wiederkommen und um ein Zimmer nach hinten raus bitten
Pros:

Kostenloser Parkplatz, sehr ruhiges Zimmer (nach hinten raus), und wirklich freundliches Personal. Der Preis war unschlagbar und mit der Baselcard ist man schnell überall

Cons:

Mein Kollege meinte sein Zimmer roch etwas nach Altersheim

Top room on top location in Basel.
Pros:

Very close to Tinguely Museum, wich is what we wanted to visit.
Awesome room on top floor, very large with a roof-terrace. Nice 70's pink bathroom and bathtub.
Great spot for parties! We will have to return for that. :-)
Friendly host.

Cons:

Couldnt get the coffee maker to make me coffee. It kept on running till the water was depleted.
A small water cooker is always nice to have also.
But it was all fine really.
