Ich habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt.
Pros:

Nahe genug am Zentrum, um alles zu Fuß erreichen zu können. Eine von 8 bis 22 Uhr mit netten Menschen besetzte Rezeption, persönliche, sehr hilfreiche Betreuung, kein anonymes Einchecken. Geräumiges Zimmer, gutes Bett. Kleine Bar und Lobby, alles da, was man braucht. Ein Cooler am Zimmer, sehr praktisch, um sich auch selbst verpflegen zu können. Verschiedene Lampen ermöglichen eine variable und gemütliche Beleuchtung.

Cons:

Kein Zimmerservice, aber das war für mich kein Problem. Bis zum nächsten Frühstückslokal muss man ein Stück gehen (ich reise autofrei).

Bien situado y muy confortable
Pros:

La cama extragrande es también muy confortable. El personal muy amable, aunque no tienen cubierta la recepción 24h. Muy limpio y bien ubicado.

Cons:

El desayuno es pobre en oferta aunque también es cierto que cobran en proporción, bastante más barato que en el resto de sitios.

Cons:

Wir hatten Hotel gebucht. Das Ausbleiben des Roomservice im Hotel ist sehr schlecht. Noch viel schlechter ist, dass wir nicht darauf hingewiesen wurden, dass der auf Nachfrage möglich gewesen wäre.

Clean, great location and comfy bed!
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and had a good night’s sleep. Relocating the toilet paper roll to wall next to toilet will make it wait to reach the toilet paper currently located in the bathroom door. Plus it is easily bumped and goes rolling.
The bathroom is starting to look dated with the sliding doors to shower only one would move.

Cons:

Relocating the toilet paper roll to the wall next to the toilet will make it easier to reach the toilet paper, which is currently located on the bathroom door. Plus, it is easily bumped and goes rolling. The bathroom is starting to look dated and rough with only one shower sliding doors working.

Great value, friendly staff, and rustic experience.
Pros:

It was in a good location and offered good value, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The name Basecamp says it all. While it was great value and comfortable, it was pretty rustic, and some guests would find it a little bit more challenging than a regular hotel.

Great location
Pros:

Great location, 10 minutes walk to Pearl Street and a short drive to various hiking spots. Plenty of parking too. The staff were friendly and polite. The room was a decent size with a large comfortable bed.

Cons:

The rooms are quite basic and so are the bathrooms. Could do with some refurbishment. But fine for a night or two while hiking in the area. Probably best suited for young backpackers!

Pros:

Great manager, great location, great value.

Cons:

The description that Booking gave in writing about the room was totally wrong and misleading. Booking said it was a double room with a hot tub. There are no hot tub rooms.
