Aparthotel Adagio Access Saint Louis Bâle

We arrived in the evening after a prolonged journey from Berlin, but the route to the Adagio from Basel SBB railway station could not have been simpler or more convenient (by no. 11 tram), while the walk across the Franco-Swiss border was dead easy and short. The women staff were professional and friendly, speaking French, German and English. The room itself was quite small, but after the first night seemed very cozy and ideal for visiting both Basel and Alace. Good cooking appliance, fridge suitably sized, ideal selection of plates, cups, glasses and cutlery. A step up beyond the window-doorway got you onto a shared balcony with wide view over northern Basel and much of Saint-Louis. The relatively small French town possessed very good food shops, including two boulangeries and two excellent-quality Turkish shops, as well as the well-stocked Carrrefour Express a little further up the main road; restaurants, if desired. Good train links from the local station, as well as exceptionally frequent trams into Basel Altstadt and slightly beyond to the main station. While young people tended to prevail, overall there was quite a wide age range of guests. Overall, we saved quite a bit of cash by staying on the French side; much recommended for additionally getting the best of both sides of the border. I'd happily stay there again.

Nothing to criticise.

Location was amazing, 20mins away from the airport (by public transport) and straight next to bus stop. Also straight next to Swiss border which has a tram direct to Basel centre. I stayed in a twin room. Good space around and inbetween the beds. Kitchen had a the basic necessities bar an oven (came with microwave). It was supplied with dish soap and cloth. Bathroom was fine, came with soap. I am 6ft 2 and the shower head was high enough for me. Staff were lovely, gave us more loo roll when we ran out. We stayed in the cheap room and there were 2 chairs and a table that came with an extender so we could eat dinner at the table which was a bonus

There wasn't much legroom when sitting on the toilet with the door closed - I fit fine but just felt slightly closed in. Pillows were a bit soft for me and the spare pillow did have a stain on the side. Duvet had small black spots but nothing that off putting. These are all just minor things. Would stay there again

Very friendly and helpful staff, both at reception and breakfast- thanks a lot to the team for a very pleasant stay! Hotel is well connected to Basel by public transport, and also St Louis's small center is only 10-15 min walk. Spacious room with practical kitchenette (that I did not need to use). My room was on the ground floor and quite close to the main street, so had to sleep with windows closed at night, which is OK in the colder period, but may get a bit stifling in summer. Breakfast is good with quite a few choices, although frankly I have had better breakfasts for the price. Again, not a complaint, just an observation.

Nothing, I really liked it. Maybe the rooms on the upper floors and towards the back are quieter at night.

Great aparthotel right next to the border with Switzerland. The rooms are mini studios with a small but complete kitchen, a private bathroom and a big and clean room. Everything was very tidy and the staff was nice too. I think this establishment is in the exact location since there are some restaurants around and a bus stop next to the entrance where you can take the bus to the train station, from which you can start your trip to places like Colmar or Strasbourg.

Everything was great for us but I think the inside swimming pool could be warmer because we tried to swim a bit but the water and the air inside were cold.

Our room was on the top floor, which I asked for. The children loved the pool, and the showers were wonderful Lovely breakfast too. In fact, we liked it so much we stayed there again on our return journey back to Lugano 8 days later.

Our modern tomtom took us to a blocked-off road. It had the same name as the one with the hotel/ After driving around in the dark for 40 minutes, always arriving back at the same blocked road in the middle of an industrial estate. I had decided to not bother and were in the process of driving back to the autostrada when we saw another Dogana (border post) There are 3 on 3 different streets within 300 yards of each other!!! Anyway, I spotted the hotel and after that every thing was fine. Very annoying, as the receptiopnist on the phone must have thought I was crazy and clearly didn't believe me. But we had a laugh afterwards about it.

This hotel is a perfect choice if you plan to visit Basel and the surrounding cities like Colmar and Strasbourg in France or Bern and Lucerne in Switzerland on daytrips. The city centre of Basel and Basel SBB train station is about 10-15 mins away by tram 11, Saint-Louis train station is about 10 mins by bus 604. We had enough space for 3 people in the room. We have met with friendly and helpful staff.

The hotel had a big swimming pool. A code number was used to open the door to pool. All the rooms had a connecting balcony so we could go into our rooms directly. The room contained a little kitchen which had sufficient vessels for us to use.

The kitchen did not contain a chimney which caused the fire alarm to ring often. The room doesn’t contain a smart TV. The room doesn’t contain the power plugs at descent places because all were on the floor, not near tables.

Absolutely fantastic location, direct line (tram 11) to Basel old town. Lovely bakery next door, 15-20 min walk to Rhine river, to parks, and airport shuttle.

My only dislike comes from guests slamming doors... Some mechanisms would be ideal to prevent that. Room was little to none soundproof so if you unlucky to get active neighbors then better to bring earplugs with you. Window was perfectly soundproof tho 🙃

I like that the property is minutes away from the Swiss border with easy access to tram number 11. Also, I like the fact there was a balcony there aswell to enjoy fresh air. The staff were all friendly especially the people in the reception. they always greeted us when we were in and out of the building.

I disliked the fact that we have to pay for room cleaning along with the utilities such as toilet roll and fresh towels. Also, when using the shower, the soap dispenser wasn’t properly filled when we entered. There was some soap there but, after 4 attempts of squeezing the product it was finished. We had to go out and buy our own. (not very impressive as hotels should be providing basic utilities)

fantastic staff, so friendly and helpful from the minute we arrived in reception, to the cleaners and especially the ladies in the breakfast room who were always smiling and helpful. The breakfast was terrific. While the queues were outside the patisserie across the road we were tucking in to an all you can eat breakfast. A small but decent swimming pool was a great asset especially on a hot day. the tram stop is just a few paces away to take you into the city.

the patio door was either open or shut so on a hot night when it would have been great to have it open there was no security as with a tilt and turn door or one with a security device. No seating for three rooms on the terrace area only two despite there being three entrances was a shame.
