Odelya - Stadthotel im Park

My first time at this hotel that was recommended to me by my fiends. This house has an interesting history - that’s why we came. We found the entrance by car only after circling the property but were greeted very friendly in the lobby. The first 30 min parking are free. There were 7 parking lots outside and more in a parking garage under the restaurant. Parking over night is CHF 22.. The hotel is quiet but located near the Spalentor. At the check in we got a tourist card to use all public transportation for free. There is a tea and coffee making facility in a nicely decorated room on the floor. For elderly guests the hotel should have in the shower a anti slip floor and bigger waste bins. The fan in the room helped against the heat. Breakfast was good.

I found Hotel Odelya’s rooms and front desk service to be good quality. I found its location to be outstanding. I found its general appearance and overall cleanliness to be top notch. That said, I felt like a second class citizen at the hotel’s Sunday morning breakfast, which I had added on to my reservation at extra cost. This is because I and my family were relegated to inferior seating—i.e., a few drab tables located in an area with zero sun and no table setting—and only allowed to eat from certain portions of their breakfast food stations because the best morning sun-draped tables, seating, and food options I embarrassingly learned while breakfasting were reserved for non-hotel guest Sunday brunch goers. I was left feeling like a kid table designee while others seemingly inexplicably enjoyed premium food and service that was viewable by me and my fellow guests but not partakable by us.. The hotel should make this reality clearer to hotel guests before they select and pay for the pricy breakfast-included option for their stay.

The beds were the most uncomfortable I've ever had in a hotel. All three of us woke up with sore backs. The shower head had about four pinholes that weren't clogged, so if you wanted any volume out of it, it came out hard enough to hurt. The room was OK but nothing special, the common area near the reception uninteresting, and the common toilets were in the basement. Restaurant was in a different building, again, nothing special. A large and clean free parking garage.

Great hotel with clean refurbished rooms. The rooms have plenty of outlets for charging. The hotel itself is charming and welcoming. The breakfast at the hotel restaurant is with the price. Very good and plentiful. Location is very close to the Old Town and if you are here at Christmas close to markets.

Stayed a night here whilst on a driving holiday. Hotel was really clean and well kept. Plenty of car parking. We had a buffet style evening meal which was good. Also breakfast was good, with all the usual choices. Would stay again if we went back to Basel.

Great location near Old Town.Our room is very spacious and the bathroom is wheelchair accessible. I would have liked more ceiling lights, but we managed. We walked 2-3 miles all over Basel and felt at ease and safe the whole time. There are several dining options nearby. One caution, the food is expensive. The room is NOT air conditioned, but it's July and the windows are open, the fan on, and we are very comfortable. I'd recommend a stay here.
