Guests often highlight the convenience of B&B Hotel Basel, with its proximity to the Zeughaus tram stop and easy access to the city center via tram line 14 or bus 37; the provided Basel Card is a real plus, granting free public transport and discounts. Many appreciate the rooms, noting that they are modern and clean, and some on higher floors even boast great city views.
