Fantastic Boutique Hotel

In the heart of Basel with easy free bus access to the railway & walking distance to the amazing Old Town and plenty of restaurants, this hotel is great. The staff are very helpful, breakfasts are good and rooms, though quite small, have good amenities (except a bar fridge). Would thoroughly recommend the Steinenschanze Standthotel and would stay here again.

Dear Susan Thank you very much for your kind review on Stadthotel Steinenschanze. Your description of our Hotel is very complete and we don’t need to add any other information! We are glad that you enjoyed the comfort of the room and facilities and the service of our staff. As you have mentioned, we all give our best to offer an extraordinary service at the reception as well as during the breakfast. We do try whenever possible to assist guests with any kind of problems, recommendations or special wishes. One of the main reason, why guest book our hotel is the great location. The old town with the tourist attractions, the center with museums and the shopping possibilities are just around the corner. And the free ticket for the public transportation makes is easy to explore the city or get to the offices. It would be a great pleasure for us to welcome you back at Stadthotel Steinenschanze in future. Kind Regards Michaela Maria Nazarek Host

Welcoming, great location, wonderful place to stay

Staff were extremely friendly and couldn't be more helpful. Our room was for 2 adults and an 11 year old and it had everything we needed. There is a very pleasant garden where you can enjoy a drink. Would highly recommend this small hotel.
