Aparthotel Adagio Access Saint Louis Bâle

The most valuable thing about the hotel is the staff, they are very friendly and helpful. Then the distance to the Swiss border: just 1 minute walk. The room was fine, and it was very clean.

This modern hotel is a good starting point for a few days in Basel, as it is well connected to the city centre by frequently served tram and bus lines, at a reasonable room price compared with Suisse hotels. Check-in is possible 24/7, and the little kitchenette enables self-catering. Sitting on the balcony and watching the semi-busy road while sipping a complementary coffee is relaxing. The pool is a nice add-on, mainly for families with young children (what can possibly be smelled at the end of a long and busy day). Serious swimming is not possible due to its short length; the Rhine river is the better choice in summer anyway for a swim. As an alternative for the breakfast at 15€ p.p. there is a lovely café-style bakery (boulangerie) just 50m down the road with an astounting selection of hearty and sweet pastry.

Affordable hotel to visit different Christmas market cities in Alsace region or to visit route of wines. From Saint Louis you can reach easily Basel city centre by tram or the main cities in Alsace region by regional train. And even with the train ticket cost, this is really still a good alternative instead of paying very expensive hotels in Strasbourg or Colmar during Christmas period. Simple restaurants, bakery and mini markets are located within walking distance. The staff is very helpful and speak different language beside English (and French of course).

We chose this facility for its price and location. We enjoyed a very spacious apartment style suite (bedroom, bathroom, family room with kitchen for 4 nights. This was used as a pre-cruise location prior to taking a Gate 1 river cruise between Basel and Amsterdam. The room also had a double balcony spanning both the bedroom and family room. The balcony had a table and 4 chairs. We arrived by plane at the Basel airport (BSL) which straddles both Switzerland and France. Exiting on the France side, we took a 15 Euro taxi ride (about 10 minutes) to the hotel. Hotel staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and available 24/7. Front door is locked between 9PM - 5AM. Access is provided by key code. The hotel is located in a residential area and is very quiet. Within a 10 minute walk there are several markets for groceries as well as restaurants nearby. A 3 minute walk brings you to the border of Switzerland and another 2 minutes to the tram stop which we used to take us into Basel's Old Town. The apartment hotel has an elevator, but no air conditioning. Each room was equipped with an oscillating floor fan. For our July stay, we found the fans and open floor to ceiling doors leading to the patio to be sufficient.

We were a group of 7 people and we took 2 flats. It was enough space for all of us. The location was great, it you are planning to visit Basel the tram 11 is very close and handy, you can also go straight to Basel train station and from there pick other destinations. The staff is great, always smiling and happy to help. If I will ever return I will definetely chose the same accomodation.
