“Apartmenthaus Zum Zoo provides functional accommodation in Basel, with a focus on privacy via self-contained apartments. Its adult-only policy and proximity to the Zoological Garden and Kunstmuseum Basel give it a specific appeal. I think its greatest strength lies in offering modern amenities and unique city views, providing a grounded experience for leisure and business travelers.”
