Reception
I tend only do reviews if something is particularly good or bad. Overall the hotel was very good (a little awkward to find though) but I write this review to mention Cedric on reception. He was excellent, helpful, knowledgeable, efficient and a free upgrade! Thank you.

Give it a pass. Not mobility accessible
The only good things about this hotel: Alina at the front desk and the room is large. Access the hotel from Hotel Metropol. There is no ramp and you have a flight of stairs to the door. Then more stairs to reception. The elevator wasn’t working - room was on the 5th floor. Layout of the hotel is one of the weirdest I’ve ever seen.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, very close to central station and tram stops. Really convenient for exploring the city and zoo, as well as further afield. The hotel is not staffed 24/7 but the adjacent hotel (which is part of the same group) is, and they can assist with check in/out, bookings and other queries. Everyone was really friendly. Not all of the hotel is accessible by lift so if this is needed, let the hotel know when booking. We would stay here again.

This hotel is part of a 3 hotel complex. City Inn being the cheapest. It clearly depends what you're after. Cheap accommodation? This is your place especially when discounted on Expedia which beats booking directly at the hotel. We booked on Expedia 2 minutes before turning up at reception and everything was already in their system so no complaints there. Just be mindful that you really do get what you pay for. Rooms are tiny including the bathroom which may be an issue if you're a bit oversized. The rooms was very clean and functional. Coffee facilities available in the hallway. Aircon exists but unfortunately the remote had flat batteries so we could only switch it on but not off. Check everything upon check-in to avoid nasty surprises. Our room was facing a side street where Uber/Cab/food delivery trucks would park to wait for their next customers. Noise was unbearable almost all night. Aircon was loud too but at least there was one. Window can be opened but it was too noisy outside to do so. Check-in was painless just around the corner right next to Starbucks. Don't get confused. It's one reception for 3 hotels. The location is right across from the train station which makes it very convenient if this is your mode of transport. Bus/Tram are free during your stay thanks to the included Guest Pass you receive at check-in. Overall your rate of satisfaction will depend on the location of your room. Pay a bit extra to go higher up. Lift is available.

Great location, convenient to train and trams, walk from train station! Easy walking to local attractions such as the zoo, and restaurants. The free Basel card means free transport on the trams that pass by the hotel door. We received an upgraded room which was wonderful, very spacious,clean and quiet. Staff have been very welcoming and helpful with information and luggage lifting for tired travellers. Recommend and will stay again.

This was a slightly strange maze of three inter-connected hotels but having had trouble locating which of the three reception points was working, I got checked in to a very nice room. Very convenient for rail station and old town. Excellent on site restaurant

4/10 Fair

Basic without the basics
Room was pleasantly large vs some colleagues who said they had a tiny room with a skylight. However, screeching noise all night that the check in person nonchalantly said in the morning was the AC - and shrugged his shoulders. Awful breakfast which I refused to eat. Lovely bathroom / shower but shower gel bottle was empty - basics!?
