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 are delighted to leave our very positive feedback on the hospitality of Svenja and Amina. Their accommodation is small but very clean and well-kept. Recently furnished, everything is brand new and functional.

A wonderful place, perfect for a stay. Beautiful views, a little walk to the city centre, but easy to navigate.

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 had a lovely and satisfying stay at Luca’s apartment. The place was clean, cozy, and felt like home the moment we arrived. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Getting there was easy, with tram 8 offering direct access from the main station. Luca was very accommodating with our check-in and check-out requests, which made our family trip even more convenient. I highly recommend this apartment!

Lliara's apartments is really lovely, much nicer than in the pictures. Also she's a friendly host who always responds any queries really quick. Good price. Perfect location next to various tram lines. Super easy check in process. Spotless clean. I'd highly recommend this space. Thanks again.

Beautiful apartment in an excellent location, Eliane was very responsive, very enjoyable stay in Basel.

Probably one of the most present experiences I have ever had on Airbnb. The apartment is spotless and clean. Mainak is very responsive and flexible with my check out time while I needed to stay longer due to work. He is very kind and easy to communicate.

The place is exactly as you see it in the pictures. Good price. Good location. Super easy check in process. Friendly host who lways responds quickly. Spotless clean. Thanks again.

Luzian was a fantastic host, and the place was clean, stylish, and perfectly located. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book again—highly recommended!

Lucio's attic in the Gundeli district of Basel is small but nice. We liked the new modern bathroom. The bed was really comfortable. There is a refrigerator, kettle, coffee machine, a small selection of dishes and cutlery and a dining area. Upon our arrival, we even found toast, butter and milk, coffee capsules and teas as well as various sweet things. Really great - we were very happy about it. Another plus was the Basel Card deposited for us, with which we could use public transport free of charge and visit the museums at half the entrance fee. The location of the apartment is beautiful, quiet and within walking distance of the SBB train station. Supermarkets and various restaurants are just around the corner. The only disadvantage was the heat under the roof - but you can perhaps remedy this in the summer with a fan. Overall, we were very satisfied and felt comfortable - thank you very much!

The apartment is great and looks exactly like the pictures. It is spacious and beautifully decorated - finally not an airbnb that feels like a cold room :) Sabrina was very responsive and super friendly. She was able to accommodate our earlier arrival, which was awesome! The location of the apartment is a little farther from Basel center, but it's only a 2min walk to the nearest tram station and 2 tram lines take you right to the middle of the action in ~15min.

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.

The apartment was fantastic. Contrary to many other places I have been, it was heated from the start, so the arrival late in a cold night was very comfortable. The place is really good. I could work in a very spacious working space. The kitchen had everything. René was kind enough to allow me to use basic stuff, like oil and sugar, so I could cook without needing to buy everything. I had a couple of questions for René who replied to me straightaway in very precise and polite maners. The main space was looking the Rhine and it was fantastic to have breakfast or dinner there. The location is wonderful, with views over the Rhine and the other side of the river, with boats passing by, and enjoying Basel at its heart. I am very grateful to René and I am looking forward my next trip to Basel to ask him again to stay there.

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 all had a fantastic time in Basel and Ivan's place was the perfect place to start our trip from. Very responsive and informative when we had to reach out for information. Thank you!

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.

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.

Philippe’s property served as a great base following a long drive to enable a short stay in Basel. It's a lovely property, well appointed and tastefully decorated, large and welcoming with plenty of storage and room for our little children to stretch their legs in a quiet and safe space. Off-street parking is a great plus as we were finishing a long road trip in a large car with roofbox so it made life much easier. Philippe speaks great English, provided clear instructions via video and was very eager to help with any and all queries and helpfully organised free public transport cards for us to use. Location is great, in a quiet residential area but a quick 10 minute drive/30 minute public transport into the centre of the city. Would recommend.
