Great buffet

The only reason I’d grant this hotel stay 4 instead of 5 stars is that the bathroom is teeny tiny. The buffet and filtered water stations are wonderful!

The room was spotless and very chic. Its small, so not a lot of room for big luggage. The location was perfect for traveling by train because it's one bus stop away from the train station. Down a few stairs and you're in the charming streets of Basel. I would stay here again!

Excellent stay, friendly staff, tasty breakfast

I was in Basel with friends for Eurovision. The city as a whole embraced the contest wholeheartedly, and the hotel really got into the spirit of things. The reception staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. A small problem that we encountered with our room a few days into our stay was dealt with promptly and efficiently - we were moved to an alternative room straightaway. Breakfast was delicious, and it was nice to have the option to sit outside and eat it in the pleasant garden. This was my first visit to Basel. I would definitely return, and I’d stay at Steinenschanze again without hesitation.

Nice hotel - shame about the construction work.

Lovely staff - really welcoming, and offered sweets which my daughter loved! Great location with bus stop almost right outside. Clean room, comfortable bed. Surprising inclusion of a gramophone and records. Unfortunately there was construction work going on right next to our room which no-one mentioned. The drilling was limited but very annoying, and I was shocked that we were not prewarned at check-in or before.

Lovely welcome from the check in staff with a welcome drink and snack which was very much needed after a long day. The hotel is by a bus stop and the number 30 goes to basel sbb or its a 15 min walk. The cosy suit was clean and had a large sofa bed which had been set up for my daughter coffee machine and tv, and a separate room with a double bed and tv. The bed was very comfy and there were about 5 english tv channels which was a nice surprise. The shower room was nice and had a door to the bedroom and hallway. Shower gel and shampoo was provided with towels. We were also able to leave our cases there the following morning which was helpful whilst we visitied the zoo. Which was also only a 10 min walk away, and half price with the basel card we were given. Id definitely stay here again whilst in Basel.
