Great location. Close to both the station and the old town. Hotel issued the Basel Card which was great for getting around on public transport. Super friendly staff and a lovely garden to enjoy breakfast in.

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.

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.

Quite near to central station and old center of the town. The staff was very friendly and informative about what to do in the town. The interior is a bit aged and the bathroom was small but very OK for the price.
