I stayed at the Silo Hotel for 3 nights and had a fantastic experience. The building, originally a cacao factory from 1912, is modern and unique, creating a great atmosphere. Check-in was easy, and I received a Basel card for free transportation and discounted gallery entries, which was a nice bonus. The location is excellent, close to shops, including a large Coop market, and a German train station for travel. There are also nearby bus stops and a park by the river. My room was spotless, and the breakfast was outstanding. The staff was incredibly helpful 💜 I absolutely loved the co-working spaces and the relaxing area filled with plants, books, and cozy furniture. They are incredibly eco-friendly as well. Definitely highly recommended!

I loved that I received an email from the property with one day before arrival with everything I need to know to get at the hotel. The hotel staff was very professional, the breakfast was healthy and tasty, the room was very comfy. The hotel has a very good location near to the centre. The bus station to the train station is in front of the building. Overall, it was an amazing experience! For sure, next time I’ll pick the same accommodation!

This is one of the best guesthouses I've seen so far. The room that we got had plenty of space, including a kitchen that was the best equipped as possible! We had only one night stay, but that kitchen had every kitchenette that you could possibly think of, including a dishwasher! The hosts are providing you with a few types of coffees and teas, complimentary. Very comfortable beds as well. Fully equipped shared bathroom, but that won't be a bother at all since you're sharing it with only one other room. It's also so easy to get around. There's a direct tram line from the Basel SBB station, or direct bus from the airport. You'll have like 2 minutes walk to get to your room. Also, the hosts are providing you with free Basel pass, so all of the rides around, museum entries, and even the zoo visit will be covered. Hosts couldn't be more kind and welcoming! Whenever I'll get back to this city, this will be my accommodation for sure.

This hotel offers ultimate luxury from start to finish. The style is traditional, everything is impeccably maintained, and the entire place is spotless. The staff were exceptional, always greeting us with a smile and being incredibly helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious, the cocktails were perfect, and the breakfast, cakes, and other treats were outstanding. Our room was extremely comfortable and very quiet. Every piece of furniture and every detail had clearly been thoughtfully considered and was in perfect condition. They provided robes, slippers, shoehorns, an umbrella, and more. The welcome treats included fresh fruit, chocolates, and a little Eurovision-themed cake. In the evenings, they tidied the room for turndown service, closed the curtains, and neatly arranged our belongings. The corridors were carpeted with a thick central runner, which meant we never heard anyone passing by, even though the hotel was fully booked. We were also given a jar of hotel jam to take away with us and we can't wait to try it. If you’re considering this hotel and can afford the price tag, you will not be disappointed. Book it.

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
