We really enjoyed our stay at Volkhaus! Two Americans traveling to Switzerland, and we were very pleased with our room, the customer service, and location. Our room was large with plenty of space, but simple and easy. The beds were comfortable as well! We were close to everything we were looking for as well. Highly recommend!

Comfortable well situated hotel, suitable for short stays. Food quality was excellent, although somewhat pricey. Bed was comfortable and the shower very nice. Only complaint is that the hallways and rooms are decorated in dark colours and dimly lit.

The staff are outstanding! So helpful, we forgot a converter to charge our phones and they loaned one to us, answered countless questions and gave us walking directions for everything. This is so centrally located to shopping, museums, and restaurants. Only wish we knew to make reservations at their restaurant when we booked the room - they were fully booked the one night we had open to visit. Book here, you won't regret it!

This is a very attractive, modern hotel in a lovely older building. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. We appreciated the design and eco-friendly touches. The only downside was the room was very warm and the thermostat seemed unable to go below a set temperature. We had to open the windows to cool off. Otherwise, a really nice stay.

Great hotel, beautiful rooms. Hotel bar is great. You can use the gym just 50m down the road. Great area of Basel to be in, easy to walk or get the tram/bus everywhere. The first two nights I was in a room facing the road that was extremely noisy, thankfully they moved me to a courtyard room which was much quieter.
