The host (Nicole) was fantastic. When we had a minor emergency, she was very helpful, as well as making us welcome throughout our stay. The information pack she provided was comprehensive, and she arranged our free Basel transport pass on arrival. The apartment is well equipped and in an excellent location. It is a 5 minute walk to the banks of the Rhine, 2 minutes from a well stocked supermarket and 10 minutes to the tram stop to get into the city centre. The Basel transport system is superb. Overall, a great stay. Thank you Nicole.

The wifi was poor

We just had an overnight stay before a river cruise. We chose this location for the reasonable price and good access to transport to get to the cruise port at St Johannpark. Just a short bus then tram ride to arrive at the port. The room was comfortable and had a nice view to the beautiful garden complete with pet rabbits. It is in a suburban location with a couple of eateries a short walk away and a coop for groceries. Our room was connected to a shared kitchen with washing machine which would be handy for a longer stay. Check in time is late - from 4pm. Breakfast is extra which I think is a bit misleading with the title of bed and breakfast as most B&Bs provide some options such as cereal or toast. A coffee machine and tea is provided. Hosts were courteous and provided information and map of the local area with bus/tram connections. The hosts are not always on site but contactable if needed.

Pillows were very soft, practically non-existent neck-support. During the heat wave, it was very warm in the room. Airco would have been a great improvement, making the rating a 9 instead of 8.

Fully equipped kitchen. It helped we didn't have to share it with other guests. Easy access to city center. Free parking pass and public transportation pass. Friendly owner, giving a lot of information useful for visiting Basel.

Great location, we were there on a local holiday. The host pointed us to some festivities we greatly enjoyed!

Nothing

Good value for money, small clean place to stay with all the amenities. Hosts were very friendly and offered free public transportation and discount passes. Children had a good time playing with rabbits.

No elevator, but our room was only up one flight of stairs.

Room was average size for a European property. Big enough to get around, but not tiny like some. Room was adjacent to a kitchen area where we had access to a coffee maker and stove if we wanted to cook. There was even a washing machine available. Plenty of windows and shades for sun and temperature control. Walking distance to a Migros grocery store and public transportation. Room was quiet and clean and situated in a residential area. For those embarking on a Rhine River cruise, the B&B was a short cab ride to the ship pier.

The upgraded side of the unit had all the amenities. (Sink, microwave, stove, & laundry). I would suggest having at least a mini sink and microwave built into the smaller unit. We stayed there 3 days, ate in 2 times. The unit was supplied with dishes, glasses etc. BUT we had to wash the dishes in the bathroom sink.

I loved walking through the garden and playing with the rabbits. The owners were very friendly and it was close to the grocery store, food and bus pickup. The owners also provided us with bus passes for the entire time we were there. An extra bonus we did not expect.

No night light for beds

No breakfast included. This was not obvious when booking a B&B

I couldn't be happier with my stay at Niros. It's only a 20-30 minute walk into the old city along a beautiful park and the river. The owners are wonderful and give guests their own space. The beds were super comfortable. The room was the best equipped we've ever encountered. And there were the added bonus of the bunnies on the lawn outside. Perfect 10 out of 10.

I dont know about anything...

The owner Nicole was super kind and helpfully. She prepared a lots of usefull things for us such as maps of the city, timetibles of public transport etc, she explained us everything... The location of accommodation is fantastic! Quitly and safe dostrict with good public transportation to the city, but also it is just about 30-45 mins by walking along the river, on the beautiful promenade... Equipment of the accommodation was also satisfing - everything what you need. Also tea, coffee, sugar... And cleanliness everywhere. I definitelly can recommend this place!

Owner Nicolle said the air conditioner was not connected (it was just for appearance)..in my opinion it looked ok, not old but no controller was in the room so I couldn't test it. When I asked the host she said it was not connected. Which I didn't believe.. so sweated it out for a few nights.. so I would not recommend this B&B during summer months... also family lives downstairs and in room next door... the stairs creaked and I was worried about disturbing them.. not an enjoyable experience. Feather down pillows which go flat as soon as you put your head on them... luckily I could prop them up with the towels.

Location was fine

This isn't a B&B as advertised, since breakfast is not included. If you want breakfast, it will cost you $14 more per person, per day, and the owner clearly doesn't want to be bothered. When I asked what the breakfast would be, she couldn't answer, and when I suggested fresh fruit, she just shook her head no. So, something reluctantly made that she would bring over on a tray and leave. Also, this is not Basel, it's a suburb, so you won't get any discounts that you get when you stay in the city itself. The room is one they made in the garage. It's clean, etc., but it's very small. With the beds 6" apart, the outside door hits one when you open it, and the bathroom door hits the other. It just wasn't very welcoming. The owner really doesn't want you inside her house, so earlier reviews where there were multiple people staying in the house seem odd. This room won't fit more than one or two people, period. Next time, I would just pay a little extra and stay in the city.

It was quiet at night. The room darkening shades were good for sleeping. You get a pass for transportation (but you won't get discounts in the city with it because you're outside Basel).
