City Inn Basel

City Inn Basel

8/10 Good
"City Inn Basel was a perfect base for exploring Basel. It is next door to the main train station and tram lines that will get you all over the city. The room was a little small, but the bathroom was huge! The luggage rack was built in and made for a very small suitcase. And there was only one so one of us had to open our suitcase on the floor of the bathroom! But the staff were helpful, the breakfast was good, and the room was quiet. It was perfect for a couple days in the city."
