I paid for a queen single bed room but was given a family room with 4 bunk beds. I was struggling with power outlets to charge my phones because of not enough of them around my bed. Was way different than what was shown during booking. Had to checkout and walk to Basel SBB station early morning hours like around 5:30 to 6 but did not feel safe.

Personel çok yardımcı oldu. Havaalanı öncesinde valizimi de emanet olarak bırakmama izin verdiler. Temizlik çok iyi, sessiz, çok güzel bir mini kampüs içinde. Merkeze ve ulaşım güzergahına yakın. Özellikle tercih edecekler için yakında Türk market ve restoranları da var.

Die Unterkunft war sehr angenehm. Die Musik von der Disco um die Ecke bis nach 5 Uhr morgens war zu viel. um nicht zu sagen eine Zumutung.

WC und Duschen außerhalb vom Zimmer. Auf dem Weg nach oben mit den Treppen zu den Zimmern sieht man alte Badewanne aufgehängt an der Wand. WC Innenraum nicht so schön.
