I chose to stay at the BLOOM Boutique Hotel & Lounge Basel for two very practical reasons: price and location. And credit where it’s due—the price was right. The sleeping arrangements, however, were a bit of a plot twist. I booked a room for three: the double bed was great, but the single bunk perched above it felt… creatively ambitious.
What really made the stay shine was the staff. They were fantastic,friendly, helpful, and gave such a clear explanation of the tram system that we felt like Basel locals in minutes. We arrived early, and while the room was still being cleaned, they happily stored our luggage. When we returned, our bags had magically appeared in the room, along with some genuinely warm hospitality.
