Volkshaus Basel Concerts 2025

Great vibe, quirky hotel, delicious drinks. Kim was amazing in the bar and very informative about the local produce from the area. Rooms were very clean and tidy and local area was nearby with lots of interesting attractions - entertainment, food, bars and a barber all within 5 minutes

The inner garden is amazing! One of my top places to go in Basel for group dinners and when friends visiting. Service is always attentive and professional, pet friendly and the food is great( a bit pricey tho depending on what you order. My always go to is steak frites and steak tartare.

We had a bad day our flight leaving Switzerland was cancelled. We checked into the hotel last minute and the staff were very helpful and accomodating. We had a lovely drink at the bar before dinner. Thank you for your help much appreciated. Peter and Zsofia.

Although I have stayed at Volkshaus earlier this year (March 2023), the more I travelled both for work and leisure throughout the 2023, I wanted to leave a review for this hotel. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much nor did I read up about the place prior to my stay. I booked via my usual hotel booking platform because I liked the photos, and needed relatively central. But we all know that 9 times out of 10 there is usually a massive disparity between fiction and reality :) All I want to say - I wish more wannabe-hotelliers (yes, Im talking to you, Hotels with '5*' I stayed at this year) would come and stay at this place to learn about idea, design, construction, and its' execution. If you are like me and appreciate levelled spaces, attention to detail and just clean vibe - I would recommend a visit. Because I am a hopeless construction romantic (every profession comes with it's upsides and downsides 🤣) here is what I appreciated: - a levelled transition between the wet and dry zones, tiles grouted in level and silicone placed properly, and a good ventilation in the shower; - I loved the suede curtain grab (for ease of closing and opening); - I actually appreciated the sockets and plugs away from the bed - for me it worked within the space, and both overhead and bedside lamps worked well as well. Switches for lights were relatively easy to navigate (you know, how most of the time it feels one needs a Phd in lightening🤣?) - I especially appreciated the communication between the street lanterns and the interior wall lights - I don’t know if this was before in the space or was added by the designers - but that was a good dialogue. - Easy and simple system for filling in your water jug (the room had a tray with jug and glasses and it was voiced at the reception how this all works, also that station had coffee and tea and apples); and I loved the drinks cart airplane style at 16:00 to the room. I have had both breakfast and dinner at the hotel as well, and although service was a bit slow, the food was well-made (as in quality stuff) and nothing to add apart from it left a good impression on me and my parents who joined me for breakfast one morning. Generally, good design is expensive - because it requires 1) communication skills between the construction 'symphony' aka team; 2) good 'sheet notes' aka plans and elevations your construction team can read and make sense of it; 3) passion for what one does. Here I felt all of it, and just hope the management will continue taking good care of the staff and this place!

First and foremost the breakfast is outstanding. The service was amazing. Everyone could speak German or English. The beds were like floating in the air. Everyone was so kind and friendly. Definitely going to come back, and recommend to others
