Superfijn hotel op perfecte locatie in het centrum van Basel
Pros:

top hotel, perfecte locatie. Alleen was de housekeeping onze kamer vergeten op zondag schoon te maken. Dan krijg je als excuus dat er een bordje aan de deur hing.

Motel One non delude mai!
Pros:

Il Motel One è sempre una garanzia: situato in pieno centro, permette di raggiungere a piedi tutte le attrazioni di Basilea. E' un hotel moderno e accogliente. Una menzione particolare merita il receptionist Daniel, che è molto gentile e simpatico (con lui abbiamo una piacevole chiacchierata). Per chi come noi arriva in auto: consigliamo il parcheggio sotterraneo del Kunstmuseum.
