All I could possibly need.

I have stayed here at least 8 times when flying out on 6am flights the next day. It is the cheapest and most convenient hotel near Basel airport that can be reached on foot in less than 15 minutes, carrying cabin baggage and hauling a 23kg-sized hold-bag at 3.45am in the morning in time for check-in at 4am. Yes, the double-room is tiny and there's barely enough space to put a large 23kg sized case down, but there is actually enough room by the door next to the toilet to do physical exercise, such as one-step Shotokan Karate practice. One could even practice the Tekki Shodan kata with their back to the wall and facing the bed. Yes, the walls are thin. No, there's no lift. Yes, the toilet and shower are tiny in the rooms that have them, but for goodness sake, it's 60 euros for two people and your own shower/toilet. Other hotels not-so-nearby are more than double the price and require a taxi fare to get to check-in so early. For food, you just bring it with you and heat it up in the microwave at reception if you want something warm. There's a vending machine with stuff in it. I usually just bring stuff from the train station enroute. The thing is, the girl at reception has always been absolute platinum when we've stayed, even remembering me from my previous visit and picking up on conversations we'd had last time. Staff in high-class hotels have to get training on this sort of banter. She's friendly, smiley and humorous. An asset to the place. Since my last review a few years ago, the path from the airport to the hotel has been improved and properly paved. It's no longer necessary to go over the wooden bridge and through a dodgy tunnel. Best come out on the French side of the airport on the bottom floor. Turn left and walk along the covered walkway to the multi-storey car park. Keep right around it and go straight on and you'll get to a signpost for St Louise. Follow the bike path. Cross the motorway bridge and take first right. It's about 100m after that. If it's raining, you'll get wet between the multi-storey car park and hotel, so do check the weather-radar in advance and prepare accordingly. You'd be best off with a torch or your phone in the dark from the motorway bridge to the hotel, but I've done it without. I've done all-nighters at the airport, but you get "characters" there and it gets cold and the seats are agony. I'll be back. Can't wait, cos it usually means the start of holidays.

We had a wonderful stay! Know what you are getting yourself in for. Rooms en suite, get towels, rooms without do not not. They sell them for €3 each.

We ordered the breakfast which was basic but adequate. Coffee was good.

No towels in either the room for the sink (without soap or anything similar) or the seperate bathroom/the shower room. The bathroom floor was extremely sticky and didn’t seem to be cleaned for a long time. The blanket was torn and not what you’d expect in a hotel. The walls are not soundproof at all, I heated everything that was going on on the floor, and not just right outside my door.

Unfortunately very hot (heat wave), no fan or screens on windows meant we got mosquito bites and was difficult to sleep. Enjoyed the bats hunting just outside the window- they might have helped with the mosquitoes. Shared toilet light didn’t stay on when the door closed - needed to use phone light.
