Room was okay but the the whole building and the floors were very smelly!!!! Bathroom on the floors were okay but downstairs by the lobby was dirty.
I paid for a queen single bed room but was given a family room with 4 bunk beds. I was struggling with power outlets to charge my phones because of not enough of them around my bed. Was way different than what was shown during booking. Had to checkout and walk to Basel SBB station early morning hours like around 5:30 to 6 but did not feel safe.
At check-in the cc for booking was not charged, so I had to pay a higher price than on the booking confirmation: CHF 33 instead of CHF 29. Should be some additional guest tax?
Mostly loved how helpful, friendly and down-to-earth the staff was. Warm showers, a clean and comfortable place to lay my head. What more could I ask for?
