Some rooms only have partial lift access, so you may need to manually carry your luggage up a flight of stairs or so - but it’s a great, economical base in Basel that’s totally worth the effort. The room is pop-modern, simple but clean and highly functional layout, with a comfortable pillow and duvet and thoughtful amenities that make you feel well looked after without excess. The staff are very professional and friendly, assisting with check-in, and self-checkout is available via the email notification you receive. I’d be very happy to book again.

Room was super clean, comfortable and well heated. Don't make the same mistake as I did and make sure you check if you're in a lift accessible room! I didn't realise I booked for a room that was stairs accessible only and I found myself lugging my suitcase up three floors haha. Luckily it was just for one nights stay! In saying that, even if you're in a lift accessible room, there are stairs to enter the building (unsure however if this can be bypassed by going through parking), enter reception and to the main area where the rooms are. For people who may need more accessibility, it might not be the best! It's otherwise a good hotel, you get a free transport card and discounts with your stay.

1-night stay in Basel, and City Inn was great for this. Firstly I arrived ahead of time, just to drop off my luggage before officially checking in at 3pm. However my husband and I had 4 suitcases and 2 backpacks and I kindly requested a room with elevator access on short notice. The receptionist who assisted me was so courteous and helpful! I was able to get my room one time and close to elevator. The room was spacious and clean. Bathroom EXTRA huge. I think we got an upgraded room due to the location of the elevator. I definitely appreciate the assistance. Location of this hotel is ideal! Walking distance to the SBB and steps away from the trams/buses. Breakfast was included and was simple and enough for us! Great value for money.

A good hotel, well located near the rail station. Checking in was fuss-free on arrival for my 2 night stay. Returning for 1 night before returning to the UK the following morning. Room was ok although it did have several areas of low ceilings - not helpful when you are 6’ 2”. Bathroom was functionally good. Very large shower with an overhead and usual water outlet. Water was hot and came with very good pressure (room was on the 3rd floor). Breakfast was v good with selection of all you really need. Dining room located on the 8th with good views.

I was pretty disappointed in my room Not like the photos and a bit jaded - needs a bit of a freshen up/painting etc. Other rooms looked much nicer but based on mine, I wouldn’t recommend. Location is ok but a bit of a walk to anything ‘nice’, convenient for bus to airport/train connections.

The City Inn offers a real bargain in Basel, so long as you like an architectural puzzle. A single building has been subdivided into one expensive hotel and one mid-price hotel, and all the rooms and passageways in between the two that didn't quite make sense have been called the City Inn. You check in at the posh hotel and have a fine breakfast in a panoramic 8th floor room in the mid-price hotel, and somewhere in between you wander various corridors and bits of staircase looking for your room. It will be odd when you find it, but comfortable, and very reasonably priced.

Overall, it's a good hotel, conveniently located right in front of Basel SBB. The front desk staff were very helpful, and the breakfast was good. If you're traveling with heavy luggage, it's recommended to ask for a room with elevator access. However, there's room for improvement regarding room cleanliness (photos enclosed).

The room was big, but the cleaning lady came very late in the afternoon. It was hard to operate the AC unit, and at times it did not work. The drain in the shower was too slow, and you take shower always standing in water ankle high.
