Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Basel City

From the minute I arrived at the gates of this majestic mansion, I felt at peace. The host, Marc, is a fascinating and kind renaissance man, who graciously welcomed me into his historic home. My suite was once occupied by the famous writer, Hermann Hesse which is what first attracted me to this listing. It is charming with high ceilings and spacious rooms, which are decorated with lovely antiques. The view from the suite of the grand and elegant Wenkenhof Villa and manicured French gardens. The area is surrounded with parks and forest, but an easy walk or ride to the village of Riehen. Riehen is a storybook area with fine shops and cafes. Public transportation is readily available to commute to the city of Basel; a guest is provided with a complementary pass. The B&B manager, Dorette, was so efficient and helpful from the start and throughout the stay. This will always be one of my favorite stays, and for that I am grateful.

Oleg’s place is soo central to Basel. It’s perfect for what we needed. It’s close to the train stations and old city/city centre. They were also very kind to allow us to check in late. The standout for me is their lovely garden where you can have a peaceful and quiet time. Thank you again!

Pleasant stay in this spacious, fully-equipped duplex studio located in a pleasant residential area, near the Rhine. The vast space available and the calm were particularly appreciated with the children. Thanks to Leonore and Bea for the welcome and responsiveness!

Very nice, cozy apartment at a ideal location - very quite yet with a direct connection to the Messe. You get everything you need in the house and can enjoy the shunshine or evening breeze on the balcony. It's a shame that we didn't meet Jinhee in person, but Tom was also such a nice and warm-hearted host! Always patient for every question and request. Many thanks!

A lovely place to stay. It was especially nice to have the outdoor space. Cely was a brilliant host. I sometimes thought she sent too many messages but, the free tram pass, instructions on how to find the house and her welcome were all great.

We were a group of 8 people and had a great stay in the house. It has a large living room with a very nice view. Daniel was available and responsive by messages. He offered us free transport cards for each guest, allowing us to visit the beautiful city, easily accessible by tram.

Beautiful house beyond what pictures can describe with great designs and taste. Guylaine is SUPER helpful and communicative. I will definitely stay again when I’m in Basel!

We really enjoyed our stay. Roberto was very helpful and flexible with check in and check out. Very clean and tidy house that had everything we could have needed!

We had a wonderful stay in this apartment and our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Location is great with the tram only steps away and brilliant public transport. Would recommend! Thank you for a great stay - Louisa and Blair

I stayed in Ilaria’s apartment for the third year in a row. The location is perfect—especially in the summer, as it’s just a few minutes' walk to the Rhine for a swim. The area feels very safe and has plenty of great places to eat nearby. Communication with Ilaria is always excellent. Once again, I had a great stay!

I had an assignment in the USBB. The accommodation is within walking distance and was functional in every respect!

My first time staying in an air BnB and I couldn’t be happier! I will for sure be booking by this again.

I was on big conference and asked other people what they rented and I feel like I was very lucky with apartment. Everything is balanced: good price, location, big space, two balcony, very big TV. I felt more as home than hotel. Definitely will be in bookmark if I visit Basel again

Very sweet and nice apartment in Basel! Clean, cozy and just as described. Perfect location for a calm weekend getaway, as it is only 10minutes walking distance from the central station and therefore also the city center.

This was a very nice Airbnb to stay in. It was decorated beautifully in a scandi style. Very calming and relaxing. We have stayed in a lot of airbnbs and it’s rare to find an owner that has thought of everything. She communicated well and was friendly. Check in and out was easy with key safe. Was nice to have space to sit outside. Again it’s rare to find such a quiet apartment which meant that we slept very well! Location felt more residential. It would have been nicer to have been located closer to the main centre but the trams were that quick and only over the road that we didn’t mind so much. Only a few minutes into the centre. A quick trip via an uber to the airport also.

Beautiful place to stay with lots of attention to details. The neighbourhood is quiet, the old town nearby and nice places around the corner for breakfast. Rahel replied to questions quickly and generously agreed to a late check out. I would recommend this place anytime.

I loved staying at Barbara's spacious, sun-filled apartment. She was a gracious and helpful host. This place is a gem. I especially loved the neighborhood, which is tranquil and cool, with one of Basel's finest gelato places just around the corner.

Great apartment close to transit & a few good restaurants. The apartment was nice, clean, & comfortable. The bed was also quite comfortable. There was plenty of space for clothing from 2 large suitcases. Having an elevator & outside blackout blinds on all windows were great!

We had a wonderful time at the charming apartment in Kleinbasel. Everything was spotless and they even had some milk for coffee and a small breakfast in stock. The coffee tasted fabulous and the backside garden was so peaceful. The location was great and we can totally recommend the place

Inge is a great host. She made sure we knew how to get to her apartment and printed Baselcard transit passes for us. The first floor apartment is located in a quiet and lovely neighborhood and has good WiFi, all amenities needed for a comfortable stay, and access to a pleasant back yard. Inge even provided milk, bread, eggs and fruit for our stay. We would be happy to stay here again on future trips.

We had a great time in Basel and Ivan’s apartment was perfect for our needs. Close to the city centre and comfortably accommodated 6 people. I would recommend it as a great place to stay for a visit to Basel.

Absolutely lovely place. Really cosy small studio, was easy to find and get to. Was quite toasty given the time of year but the fan in the room worked wonders keeping us cool. Couldn’t fault it at all. Location was quiet and private but wasn’t too far from restaurants and cafes. So for me atleast was a perfect location. Thankyou Goran for a wonderful stay.

Very cozy and stylish condo apartment. We felt right at home and it was a challenge to get out into Basel for sightseeing because it was so comfortable in the apartment. Amenities were provided and everything was prepared in great consideration. The host Jennifer was very responsive and has a high level of attention to detail. She prep everything so well that we did not have any post questions to ask while staying there. Highly recommended. Cheers

Affordable and conveniently located — just steps away from Tram 14, which provides easy access to downtown Basel. There’s also a Coop supermarket just two minutes away. Great place, and Daniel was very helpful.
