Basic Innsbruck

Despite its name, Basic Hotel Innsbruck is anything but basic. The hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with recommendations and directions. The location is excellent—just two tram stops from Innsbruck Central Station, making it very convenient for travelers arriving by train. The surrounding neighborhood felt safe and pleasant, even when walking around in the evening. A Subway restaurant is located right next door, which is handy for a quick meal, and many attractions, shops, restaurants, and the Old Town are within easy walking distance. In fact, Innsbruck is such a walkable city, and this hotel serves as a perfect base for exploring it.

Clean simple rooms in close proximity to the Old Town which as a tourist is perfect. Also walkable is the funicular to the lifts to Nordkette, about a 15 minutes stroll. The reception staff were really helpful. Be warned the lift to the rooms is small and if you have a lot of luggage you will struggle to fit two people plus luggage. For a day or two it's a perfect solution. Don't expect a bar/restaurant, you'll need to find something locally.
