Comfortabel appartementje met dakterras en gemeenschappelijke ruimte.
Pros:

Fijn appartementje en de bovenste verdieping met gemeenschappelijke ruimte, gratis koffie en dakterras is top! Ook het feit dat er in de kelder ruimte is om je fiets neer te zetten is fijn.

Unbedingt empfehlenswert
Pros:

Die Motel one Kette bietet immer einen sehr guten Service, praktische und sehr saubere Zimmer. Das Personal ist immer sehr freudlich und hilfsbereit. Auch die Bar und die Lounge sind immer sehr gemütlich um "abzuhängen". Die Lage in Basel ist ausgezeichnet - mitten in der Stadt. Die freien Basel-Card waren großartig, da sie die freie Nutzung von den Öfis ermöglicht und viele Vergünstigungen bietet.

Cons:

Keine Mängel oder Klagen

Perfect for a short tourist stay.
Pros:

The location was fantastic, close to the Cathedral, the Kunstmuseum, the old town, the shopping area and transport.
The room was large, comfortable and sound proof. Nice breakfast.

Cons:

The only issue was the fact that some rooms (including mine) face an office building that is quite close so during working hours you have to be careful and close the curtains.
