Etwas besseres habe ich erwartet
Pros:

Die Größe der Wohnung ist ausgezeichnet, ebenso wie der Balkon und das Badezimmer.

Cons:

Auf dem Balkon standen Aschenbecher voller Leergut von früheren Gästen, der Kühlschrank war defekt. Die Bettwäsche war zerknittert, alles wirkte etwas alt und nicht besonders sauber.Wir haben keine Zeit für Früstuck und über das kann ich nichts sagen.

A nice, clean, well-priced unfussy hotel
Pros:

A nice, clean, well-priced unfussy hotel, outside of the centre of Basel but very well connected. It’s easy to check in with the machine and good to have the digital key options in case you lose your keycard.

Cons:

The breakfast is a little bit basic, but you have what you need and it’s in a nice space.
