Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ibis Budget Basel City is often praised for its convenient location near the SBB Bahnhof and several tram stations, which allows for easy exploration of Basel, including the Rhine area, especially with the free public transport provided. Many guests find the rooms clean, with some noting the presence of bunk beds, a detail appreciated by families. While the air conditioning is generally good, a few guests have mentioned a musty smell in some rooms, and some taller guests have bumped their heads on the upper bunk. Food and drinks are readily available on the ground floor from a fridge with a variety of snacks and beverages.

Great Stay with Excellent Amenities

spacious roomclean hotelhelpful employeepartial swinging door
The hotel room was pretty spacious. I easily fit my two suitcases. This hotel is very clean. Employees are friendly and very helpful. I also appreciated the good location near the stops at Münchensteinerstrasse and Grosspeterstrasse.
The toilet had basically just a partial swinging door, so privacy was not great.
