    The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

    Budget Hotel Alexander is a nice functional hotel with comfortable rooms very close to the good locations. The rooms are very clean and spacious. They have an underground parking spot which is convenient if one reaches Basel by car (payable extra)

    This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.

    Really good location, ideal to cut through into town. Property was spotlessly clean. Good correspondence with the owner, who was very helpful and answered questions promptly. Would highly recommend this place when visiting Basel.

    Everything was perfect. The staff were fabulous, excellent customer service and always had a smile on their face. Loved having the coffee facilities available any time. Everywhere seemed very clean and the location was ideal. The bed was extremely comfortable too.
