I paid for a queen single bed room but was given a family room with 4 bunk beds. I was struggling with power outlets to charge my phones because of not enough of them around my bed. Was way different than what was shown during booking. Had to checkout and walk to Basel SBB station early morning hours like around 5:30 to 6 but did not feel safe.

WC und Duschen außerhalb vom Zimmer. Auf dem Weg nach oben mit den Treppen zu den Zimmern sieht man alte Badewanne aufgehängt an der Wand. WC Innenraum nicht so schön.
