Varogne Holidays

The property is a little tired. There were signs saying that the levels of PFAS chemicals in the tap water were above permitted levels and that it wasn’t recommended for drinking for certain groups. You could use the dispenser in the foyer which was fitted with a filter, however this was a little inconvenient. Be aware there is no air conditioning in the rooms and the room was very hot while we were there (June). The area does however feel quite safe and the hotel is a short walk to the number 11 tram stop that takes you directly into the centre of Basel. For us, the lack of air conditioning (should have paid more attention when booking) meant that we wouldn’t stay here again.

Everything and everyone was perfect. Shuttle late and Bruna ungraded our room, a kind gesture! One big flaw in my opinion is the height of the bathroom mirror. Not designed for anyone 5’5” or under.

It was a nice neighborhood in vicinity if a grocery store. Great scenery and very relaxing.

Room was very clean. Shopping mall downstairs. Very convenient. There were a lot of dining options in the neighborhood. Parking was easy.

Staff was friendly and helpful but it is an older hotel with limited amenities and no air conditioning. Our room probably hit >35C daily and we didn’t even have a room fan. There is no screen on the windows and so you have to either keep your window wide open for some minimal air flow or box in your room. So very uncomfortable to sleep in during summer. It’s centrally located with transit access minimal walking distance and it is attached to a mall where you can get groceries, pharmaceuticals and food. Overall average stay especially if you’re coming during high heat.
