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!

Fantastic facilities, we liked the layout, it worked well for our family group and the apartment had everything we needed. Good location. Very clean and well appointed. Great communication, instructions and follow up from the hosts. Their kindness showed in the little extras throughout the apartment and we would happily stay here again.

I was thoroughly impressed by the apartment’s exceptional location...! Perfectly situated, offering both convenience and a sense of calm away from the bustle. The interior was tastefully designed, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything one might need for a comfortable stay. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, making it easy to settle in immediately. Every detail, from the quality of the furnishings to the smooth check-in, reflected a high standard of care and professionalism. A truly pleasant experience. I would not hesitate to return. Thank you!!

A very nicely furnished, very clean and well-equipped apartment. Great host, attentive to details and very available to our requests. The tourist card was very useful to us, because we had free transport. Absolutely everything in the apartment was of high quality and well maintained. The only minus was an air conditioner, which was necessary, given that it was very hot and the smell of tobacco, which certainly cannot be attributed to the host. Unfortunately, there are also tourists who do not have elementary rules of conduct and who do not understand that smoking is NOT permitted in non-smoking apartments! However, I am convinced that Damir will solve the problem because he is a perfectionist of cleanliness and quality! I recommend this apartment with all sincerity and give it a 10 without a minus!

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.
