My husband and I needed a stop in Switzerland for our drive back from Tuscany to Amsterdam. We settled on Basel since it was the middle point of drive. The Nomad Hotel looked like it was a good spot to hang our hats for the evening. Location: Good location. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping streets, outdoor markets and public transportation. Arrival: You see the hotel restaurant and bar first and then come across the hotel. You walk down a corridor and find a large wooden door to the hotel. Bellman: None so be prepared to carry your own luggage. Parking: They have a small tight parking lot located -2 in the building. You need a key to enter the garage. Parking is 25 CHF / night. You can reach the rooms from the lift in the parking garage. Reception/Front Desk: Very friendly and Lobby: Super cute and functional. Room: We had room 97 which was the category of "Urban Unique Double Room" because when you book with a dog you have to book a room that has concrete flooring which are the Urban Unique ones. View: N/A - there was a shade that blocked the large window we had in our room Bed: Too soft for our taste. The have a soft padding on top of the mattress. Bathroom: Separate toilet on one side of the room and shower and sink in the other side of the room. Hair dryer: Normal dryer hanging on the wall in the bathroom. Products: Aesop products - My favorite! Coffee Maker: None in the room, but they have it in the hallway. Closet: Closet with iron and small ironing board, small fridge and safe. Safe: Standard hotel safe in the closet. Control Panel: One TV remote. Minibar: None. There's a mini fridge, but nothing in it except for a cookbook - no joke - see photo. Mirrors: One mirror inside of the closet and one mirror right next to the door. Housekeeping: N/A - only stayed one night. Wifi: Good. They give you a code forbid to give devices. Dining: We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was pretty standard, but expensive. The menu is a bit odd - a bit Asian, a bit Western, a bit Middle Eastern. We ordered the burger which was messy but good and the Caesar salad was made with iceberg lettuce was drowned in the dressing. We ordered two of their local beer on draft. The total for dinner was 60 CHF. Spa/Gym/Pool: N/A - didn't use the spa or the gym. I don't believe they have a pool. Concierge: N/A - didn't have any questions. Style: Modern and hip. Service: Overall the service was good. Other: They have free coffee, tea and water at these kiosks on each floor. It's very cute and convenient. They have everything from the machines, cups, trays, coffee and tea bags, etc. I wish other hotels would do this! Dog Friendly? Yes! They don't charge you for having a pet, but they do make you book a "Urban Unique Double Room" which is a higher category than their standard rooms because it has concrete floors. Would I go back? Yes! It has everything you need for a city hotel. read more
