easyHotel Basel

Room was not clean in some areas, especially between the two mattresses. Pillows were not comfortable. Beware, some lockers can be opened by anyone even without the code. Service was unresponsive, tv remote and lockers were not working and we didn't get any help or answer from them. Location is alright but you'll have to walk 20 min or take the tram to reach the old town.

Easy Hotel (Basel). No elevator. Room 13 (street-side). Typical traffic & people noise but all quickly subsided at a reasonable hour & didn’t start-up again until a reasonable time. Cute balcony-two chairs and a table. Location. The Google map location is correct. From the direction I approached, the tree foliage hid the sign (won’t be an issue in winter!). The lobby entrance is shared with the restaurant entrance. Check-in. I followed the directions - no issues. Note: If there are no blank key cards, use the provided phone to contact the staff (possibly someone located at the Hotel Alexander, a few meters down the street). Note 2: WiFi instructions posted all around the lobby. Luggage storage: Worked well for me. Free lockers hold all but the largest bags. Room: Clean (kudos to the staff!). A place to sleep & clean-up. A fan was provided in the room. The temperature and humidity were unpleasant, but the fan made the room bearable. Mid-summer, so I didn’t test the radiator. Small, all-in-one shower/sink/toilet. Hair dryer provided, as were a set of towels and liquid soap dispensers in the shower and at the sink. Lights & power. Room lighting was passable (all fixtures worked). Two power sockets noted: one near the TV and one at the head of the bed (center of the headboard & co-located with a light switch). Both sockets worked. BONUS: Area map & a transport pass provided. Speaking of which (transportation): Bus 30 travels between the SSB & the Ban Banhofs. The hotel stop is a few meters away from the hotel, under the bridge (visible from the hotel entrance, looking left & across the street). Ban Banhof is walkable and nearly a straight line walk to the hotel. Service. Every staff member I came in contact with was polite, professional, and helpful. Most were at the Hotel Alexander, mere meters away (exit EasyHotel, turn right, walk to the end of the block, Big facade, adjacent restaurant with outdoor seating. Yummy Ukrainian and Georgian food. Also the location of the breakfast buffet. Typical European fare: hard boiled eggs, sausages, veggies, cold cuts, cheeses, bread, cereals, and assorted toppings for the breads.
