    Y’all, I gotta say my stay was just lovely! The room was spotless and had that quirky decor that made me smile. The free tram card was super handy for gettin’ around. Plus, the breakfast spread was fresh and tasty! Could’ve used a bit more space in the bathroom, but it sure was clean!

    Brace yourself for this review!

    This super cute hotel offers a delightful ambiance and exceptionally friendly staff. Enjoy modern, clean rooms just a stone's throw from the city center. The breakfast spread is good, featuring a variety of options. Be mindful of limited space in the bathroom and minimal toiletries. Overall, a happy stay!

    great location
    cramped bathroom
    missing kettle

    My honest journey to loving (or hating) this

    The staff were extremely nice, making my stay memorable! Plus, the location was fantastic—quiet yet close to the city center and the SBB.

    The bathrooms felt cramped, and I missed having a kettle in the room for a cozy cup of tea.

    rude owner
    bad location

    i almost thought this would be a nice stay, except the owner was unbelievably rude, like really, who does that? not impressed that i had to walk a million miles from the station either. funny enough, i expected a complimentary welcome gift after all this chaos, but i guess some people just can't deliver.

    this summer, my stay at Birsighof Basel City Center exceeded expectations. the room was clean, comfortable, and had great heating. the owners were incredibly accommodating, even allowing an early check-in after my night train.

    the bathroom was quite small.

    The room lacked basic amenities like a kettle and fan, requiring us to lug our own luggage up without the promised assistance. The mattress and pillows felt too soft for comfort, and the quality of the internet varied awkwardly, working better when lying down on one side. Definitely not ideal.

    tight space
    limited room size

    My Single Room at Hotel Birsighof was super cozy and clean, perfect for a solo vibe. The fun and eclectic decor really stood out and made it feel unique. I loved having easy access to a self-service mini bar by the garden—such a cute touch! Also, there were convenient charging sockets which were a lifesaver for my devices. My only downside was the room size. it felt a bit tight for my stuff.
