ibis budget Basel City

Tamara and Donat were friendly and very helpful.

The Ibis Budget is a little gem. Very clean and comfortable. Rooms are small and a little cramped, but everything is functional. Location is good, close to trams and the train station.

Our 6th floor room had great views of the railway yard and the hotel was in a good location with great connections on two regular tram lines. The free Basel Card helped out with using these for our short stay. We also had great views of our shower and toilet which could only be cordoned off with a flimsy curtain. This also blocked the only entrance to the room so prepare to get intimate. The toilet door didn't lock and has zero sound isolation so every plop and grunt can be heard from outside. When using the shower, we were burnt then frozen as the shower couldn't maintain a consistent temperature or pressure. After leaving the shower, we had to take care not to slip over on a large puddle that has formed under the bed after leaking from under the door as there is no seal. I would imagine that the delamination of the floor is likely to be caused by this. The double bed and bunk bed were comfortable and the electronic shutter is a great to block out noise and light. The secondary internal blind was broken so this couldn't be lowered. There wasn't any plug sockets near the beds but luckily we had a few long cables that could almost reach to the bed. We had a much friendlier time with the cleaning staff that we met at the lifts than the lady who checked us in. We didn't speak at check out as we couldn't wait to leave...

My wife and I were in Basel to visit a distant cousin and her family. We found the Ibis to be a very basic hotel, which was exactly what we needed. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the staff friendly and helpful. It was fun for me to watch the many passenger trains going to and from the main Basel station. If we are ever in Basel again, we will return to the Ibis.

We came to Basel to visit a distant cousin and her family. We had reserved this room very early on the strength of having stayed at Ibis in Berlin. We found this a very plain and basic hotel which fit our needs perfectly. All of the staff members were friendly and helpful. If we are ever in Basel again, we will certainly return. It was fun for me to watch the many passenger trains that entered and left the nearby railroad station.
