Great location near Old Town.Our room is very spacious and the bathroom is wheelchair accessible. I would have liked more ceiling lights, but we managed. We walked 2-3 miles all over Basel and felt at ease and safe the whole time. There are several dining options nearby. One caution, the food is expensive. The room is NOT air conditioned, but it's July and the windows are open, the fan on, and we are very comfortable. I'd recommend a stay here.

Fourth floor room was large. Bed was comfortable. Everything seemed clean. TV and Wifi worked okay. Breakfast had many choices and the food was good. Staff were friendly and helpful.
This hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood but is still in walkable distance to the Old Town. A bus stop is near, and the hotel provided bus passes .
Didn't like that the room had no refrigerator. Bottled water was provided, but it wasn't cold.

The hotel is very nice and in a good location! I would describe the staff as efficient but not overly friendly and it was disappointing there were no doorman to assist with bags etc. The restaurant was really good and here our server really was super friendly and our dinner was most enjoyable. Our room was clean, comfortable and well appointed with great WiFi.

A great place to stay!!

This was an amazing place. They gave us a small attic room with 2 beds. My son greatly appreciated his own space. The room was immaculately clean. The hotel has a convenient seating area in the lobby with cell phone charging stations and free coffee, croissants and apples in the morning. We greatly appreciated the charging station as we did not have compatible Swiss plugs. We were a solid 20 mins walk from the old center but it was a lovely and easy walk. Great neighborhood and hotel grounds. We parked in their own underground parking garage. The staff were all very kind and helpful. Beautiful older building that has been wonderfully renovated without losing its charm.

This was a beautiful old building. The check in was easy, the gentleman at reception was very nice. The hotel was very clean and the room was nice. The main disappointment was no air conditioning or a fridge. The breakfast was in the next building close to where you got off the elevator. It is all downhill to the city centre (up on the way home). You get free wifi in hotel and at hotspots throughout Basil.

We reserved these rooms because of the included buffet breakfast (they wanted to charge us 50% for the VIP included breakfast). It also included an extra 2 hours which we couldn't use. The other reason we reserved these rooms was for the convenience of a restaurant and bar. They are in the process of building a restaurant so there was only breakfast available. There is no bar, no ice.

We ran out of soap in the shower on the first day. On the second day, I had to call housekeeping for more. They brought it up but would not install it until the third day.

Our main criteria for booking this hotel were car parking facilities close to the centre. There were only 6 car parking spaces for the whole hotel which were full when we arrived so ended up in the public car park 20 minutes walk away costing 20SF. Not very happy. Room itself was nicely appointed, clean and modern and close to the city centre. The building itself is old and the corridors had a distinct institutional smell - sounds odd but that’s just the way it came across.

Perfect stay, would definitely stay again!

This hotel is a perfect gem in Basel. It is just a few tram stops away from the main restaurant/bar streets in the old city and is very convenient. The staff, from the moment we checked in until the moment we left were very attentive and understanding. The room was very spacious, spotless and had many different amenities. Perfect for a family with children. WiFi was great and parking was also very convenient inside the hotel premises. We even had an \"incident\" during our stay where our son felt really sick during the night and, as a result, left some traces of his sickness throughout the room. While we tried to clean up a little ourselves, they have not charged any extra cleaning costs and demonstrated to us that they were extremely understanding and helpful. All in all, a fantastic service, a beautiful property, very convenient and with a team that makes you feel welcomed and valued as a guest. What else could you ask for? Cannot wait to return to Basel and arrange another stay at Hotel Bildungszentrum 21. I highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely historic hotel in the middle of Basel

We were excited to stay in this very historic hotel! The Basel Mission sent missionaries to China, which in turn sent Chinese missionaries to Hawaii where we are from. The building is very well kept and comfortable. We enjoyed the suite on the 5th floor and the Samowar room on the 4th floor where we could get coffee & teas. The internet connections were very good and the location of the hotel is very convenient. Everything was very clean and fresh with lots of hot water for showers. To get to our seminar room in the -1 level, you have to first press \"-\" then \"1\".

Excellent hotel in quiet location

Hotel Bildungszentrum 21 is very easy to find. Just a 5 minute walk from the #50 bus stop which runs to/from the airport.
Set off the main road, it is a wonderful old building on the outside, but very modern inside. On arrival the staff were warm and friendly, with a quick check-in and a little advise on getting around Basel too.
The room we booked was for 3 people, so with the additional bed, it was a little tight for space, but only a minor point on an otherwise excellent, clean and comfortable room. Bathroom was clean and tidy and all the facilities you would expect.
One of the nice features of the hotel was a room set aside for relaxing with tea and coffee facilities; great to meet up with other who were staying here too rather than all cramming into a single room.
Check-out was again excellent and I will be staying here again if I find my travels take me to Basel.

It was OK. I really have no complaints, but I've stayed at better, more centrally located hotels in Basel. This is not far from the city center, but not in the center.

It is very close to the University, and there are enough things within walking distance. There was a provisional train stop (not recognized by google maps) very close to the hotel. Otherwise, it's just a few minutes by foot to the Spalentor.

Unusual but excellent hotel

The hotel is situated in part of Mission 21's building (a charity). So there's also other stuff going off there during the day which has nothing to do with the hotel. (But note this doesn't detract from one's stay). It actually makes it more interesting and it seems to have a special atmosphere with a lot of positive people milling about. The rooms are very modern and well equipped. The staff are great and the breakfasts very good.

In the University Area

This hotel is not in the center of things -- it is a bit out of the way -- but with the transit passes which visitors receive free of charge, you can take a tram anywhere you desire to go. If you are doing something at the University, this is a good location. The rooms are a good size but extremely spartan. The pillows are the most skimpy i have ever experienced. They have an excellent breakfast which is usually part of the room charge. They also have a few pieces of equipment for working out.

You get decent value at this modest hotel: the breakfast is good, and you get a day pass on all the public transportation when you check in.

the overall athmosphere of the hotel is lovely and there is a pretty garden. sadly there are some major structural problems - there is not adequate insulation between the rooms and between the floors. this means there is no chance of rest before late at night and one is woken up at the crack of dawn by what seems to be a herd of elefants. the option to live on the top floor oneself is not suitable in the summer - since this is the attic and too hot. no minibar or fridge in the room, and more importantly there is not a singel drawer or shelve for cloths - apart fro the one and ahalf above the small hanging space. a serious inconvenience is the situation of power points. . the free wifi is convenient and easy to use but the only plug is under the desk - one part of a 3way - so not suitable for a foreign plug converter and too inconvenient for the short leads of the fan and hairdryer provided. there are small thoughtful touches like free tea and coffee in some centrally located sitting rooms and the staff were very accommodating and friendly, with the exeption of the head housekeeper, who dealt with a small complaint very arrogantly and does not seem to understand the concept of apologising for any inconvenience. on check out she accused us of taking the hairdryer, after not seeing it left in the back of the cupboard. no apology either, so a sad taste to what could have been a nice stay in spite of the shortcomings.

Very pleasently discovered that a tram pass for the arrival and departure day was included in the price (we only stayed one night.) Breakfast buffet was very complete with a large selection of sandwich meats, cereals, 4-minute eggs, cheeses. Several coffee machines. (There was more at the breakfast but I don't recall exactly what.) There was also a discount at the fair trade shop that also seemed to be associated with the adjacent mission.

The desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful. She didn't just hand over an iron when requested, she inspected to make sure it was in top working order (& I don't think it was because she expected it to not work - she just wanted to be sure she gave good service.)

To get to the hotel you take an easy tram-ride from the SBB train station and then walk a block to the hotel.
