I was pretty disappointed in my room Not like the photos and a bit jaded - needs a bit of a freshen up/painting etc. Other rooms looked much nicer but based on mine, I wouldn’t recommend. Location is ok but a bit of a walk to anything ‘nice’, convenient for bus to airport/train connections.

Bra frukostar, rummen är bra att sova i, lite trånga badrum i det mindre hotellet, fungerar bra om man vill vara ute i Basel på dagarna och endast vill ha nånstans att sova etc. Och som sakgt, bra frukostar.

The City Inn offers a real bargain in Basel, so long as you like an architectural puzzle. A single building has been subdivided into one expensive hotel and one mid-price hotel, and all the rooms and passageways in between the two that didn't quite make sense have been called the City Inn. You check in at the posh hotel and have a fine breakfast in a panoramic 8th floor room in the mid-price hotel, and somewhere in between you wander various corridors and bits of staircase looking for your room. It will be odd when you find it, but comfortable, and very reasonably priced.

Some rooms only have partial lift access, so you may need to manually carry your luggage up a flight of stairs or so - but it’s a great, economical base in Basel that’s totally worth the effort. The room is pop-modern, simple but clean and highly functional layout, with a comfortable pillow and duvet and thoughtful amenities that make you feel well looked after without excess. The staff are very professional and friendly, assisting with check-in, and self-checkout is available via the email notification you receive. I’d be very happy to book again.

It was clean and convenient to the train station. I knew that it was a walk up, but three flights of 16 steps each with a suitcase is too much. There was a very noisy rom AC and opening the tiny window just let in more noise from the street.
