Such a beautiful hotel with large rooms and gorgeous bathrooms! The breakfast was delicious and generous. My 10 year old daughter had her own tent in our room and she said it was the best place we stayed in all of Switzerland! Staff were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Would love to stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Volkhaus! Two Americans traveling to Switzerland, and we were very pleased with our room, the customer service, and location. Our room was large with plenty of space, but simple and easy. The beds were comfortable as well! We were close to everything we were looking for as well. Highly recommend!

Probably one of the nicest hotel experiences I have had. They give you a voucher for a free drink at the bar as a gift for staying with them which I think is nice. Staff is excellent and so kind. Lady in the front desk told us things to do around Basel and was overall very helpful. Room was fantastic and comfy. Very chic. Ironing room in the second floor is pretty decent. The only thing is the lighting is darkish so you can’t really assess if you did a good ironing job haha. There’s water/sparkling water/coffee/apples/tea free to take in each floor which is very convenient. Literally in front of the tran so its easy to get around the Basel area from there. Very close to the rhine/conference center/stores, etc. There’s also a starbucks next to it which is pretty neat if you want to stick to something basics. The room was very tidy and honestly the experience was a 20/10.
