“For a city often priced at the top end, this find offers an affordable and comfortable stay. The location strikes a balance: a quieter spot outside the center, yet with trams putting the entire city within easy reach. I especially appreciate the family-run approach, along with complimentary perks like the BaselCard for transport-making it a smart base for exploring.”
