Convenient, slightly out of the way hotel within walking range of main Basel train station and, therefore, of easy tram system. A budget, no frill affair, the hotel is serviceable. Frequented by a younger crowd. Not too close to restaurants.

Convenient location and value for money
The hotel offers all the basic amenities you would expect and is good value for money situated in a very central location with walkable distance from the city centre. The food was good, but could do with a bit more variety. Staff were also friendly and welcoming and the room was clean and comfortable.

Decent Hotel
Basic Ibis. Bed was so so. Shower had hair in it. There were little bugs in the room. The location was very good. Near public transportation. Easy to get to the airport.

Definitely get what you pay for. It’s a good cheap hotel, however the AC doesn’t work at all and you have to get a key to unlock window (they don’t tell you this). The toilet room has no lock and is closet. Also gave us small sized towels? Think of this place as a glorified hostel but not much more

Very bare bones, not even Kleenex in the room. Poor ventilation. Not enough towels. May be good for young people but not meant for seniors.

Clean and friendly for a short stay
Easy check-in and friendly staff on arrival. We were only there for a night after a cancelled flight, so only there for a few hours. But we both slept well and no problems at all whilst there! Not the biggest rooms, but for the price absolutely perfect.

My husband was sick with Covid as Expedia tried to explain but you still charged us. We were doing the responsible thing and avoiding people. Shame on you.

Believe the name.
I’ve stayed at Ibis across several continents, it is budget, yes. This one has budget in the name! It’s the “budgetious” one I’ve ever seen. Staff was very nice, but bring your own hair dryer, conditioner and ear plugs.
