Pros:

Hotel Alfa is perfect qua locatie. Je gaat zo even van de snelweg af onderweg naar Italië en met de gratis OV pas ga je zo met de tram naar het centrum. We konden de auto achter het hotel parkeren. Prima kamer met goed bed.

Cons:

Het kleine opstaande randje richting de badkamer is gevaarlijk in het donker.
Er was geen airco. Wel een ventilator.

Pros:

I like the room, it was very clean, comfort and nice. I like self checking process, but I have problem with Basel tram card, though I can solve it with phone call, and staff was very responsive.

Cons:

Location was too far from the main sightseeing and in the evening it was very scary to walk around, drunk and inadequate people around and no any market to buy a water.

What a lovely experience from beginning to end.
Pros:

Location was right on a bus route, pleasant walk to the store and river.

Owners are fantastic people and I was always delighted to see them around. They're constantly making upgrades and positive changes to the property. Generous and kind people.

Lots of kitchen stuff and bathroom well stocked. Lots of hot water. Property is warm without being too warm. Gorgeous tree out front.

Cons:

For the price I paid, probably nothing. I've paid far more for far less. If I ever return to Slovenia, I'm staying here again.

Guter Aufenthalt mit toller Anbindung an das Zentrum
Pros:

Kostenloser Parkplatz am Hotel und eine gute Anbindung in die Stadt. Großes Plus ist die BaselCard für die kostenlose Nutzung des ÖPNVs.
