ibis Basel Bahnhof — Hotel in Basel

Stayed here for a night in June as a connection stopover before getting the ICE train to Germany.  The hotel is in a fantastic location for Basel SBB central station, being a five minute walk to and from there.  The hotel additionally provides an unlimited public transport ticket to get you around the city for free for the duration of your stay (as a one night stay we had a 48 hour ticket for each of us), which was absolutely fantastic and enabled us to see a lot more of the city than we probably would have as public transportation can be very pricey in Basel.  Whilst the room was slightly dated (this is a budget hotel after all!), it was meticulously clean and quiet which as a connection hotel for us was very important to get a good nights rest in after a long day travelling, and another ahead of us.  The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful and spoke several languages to help guests with their queries seamlessly.  We opted into the breakfast as we had an early connection to make and this was plentiful, fresh and of good quality.  There was a staff member constantly checking food to ensure it was replenished. There are additionally many cafes in the close vicinity and at the station if you have more time however.  Would absolutely recommend for a quick, clean and...

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is convenient — about 10 minutes by bus or a 15-minute walk from the main train station.

The room was functional and well-equipped, with a hairdryer, a folding desk and chair that made it easy to eat or organize my belongings, and plenty of power outlets to charge all my devices.

The breakfast buffet was generous and satisfying, and I especially appreciated the free water refill station — perfect for filling up your bottle before heading out to explore the city or surrounding areas.

The reception was very welcoming. Ms. Rosina was incredibly kind and took the time to explain all the services the hotel offers. They provide a free digital pass for public transport in Bern, which is extremely helpful.

I also forgot a charger at the hotel, and Ms. Rosina kindly informed me so I could return and pick it up — I really appreciated that attention to...
