"We had a very pleasant stay at this family-friendly hotel with a well-organized atmosphere and exceptionally kind staff. The hotel fully met our expectations. The tram stop right in front of the hotel made transportation extremely convenient, and its location was also very close to the city center. Thank you for the two wonderful days. If we visit Basel again, this hotel will definitely be our first choice."

Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

📍 Centralbahnpl. 1, Basel
★★★ 9.3 (61 reviews)

"Let’s talk about the advantages first. The location is very good. It’s a five-minute walk from the train station. The windows are well insulated, but there are some drunkards singing outside the window in the middle of the night after opening the window, but there's nothing we can do about it since it's so close to the train station. Although it’s Switzerland🇨🇭. But Basel is more like Germany🇩🇪 The service is also good, there is luggage storage, and the Basel transportation card is offered as a gift Finally, let’s talk about the shortcomings. There is no minibar. Free minibar: There is no small refrigerator, only mineral water and bagged coffee are provided, and the minibar is not used! !"

Basel Backpack

Basel Backpack

📍 Dornacherstrasse 192, Basel
★★ 8.3 (23 reviews)

"We arrived late but we got a great welcome and and had a pleasent chat with friendly host in the reception. Staff is calm and professional and help with everything ! Rooms are clean and so are blankets and pillows. Baths and toilets are clean and offcourse there are water on the floor and some minor detailes when a lot of people share facilities. But we will come back if we return. The neighbourgood is close to the station, the Tram is just around the corner and the old factory that host the hostel is a creative space with bars-restaurants, climbing facilities and much more. The hostel gives you a free Basel card so whats not to like, and we can recommend to do as the locals, to jump in the Rhien and follow the stream along with the rest of the city. So a great stay for a family of 5, parents and 3 kids 5-12-15"

Grand Hotel les Trois Rois Hotels in Basel

Grand Hotel les Trois Rois

"The Grand Hotel les Trois Roi is not just a place of lodging, it is an immersive experience. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted and treated with utmost respect, dignity, and professionalism (despite our haggard appearance from travel). The reception team was kind and very helpful, and concierge was wonderful. They assisted us in securing reservations for the (excellent) restaurant next door, and helped us map out a fantastic walking tour of the area, highlighting sites that fit our interests. The hotel itself is stunning; it is a living piece of history. Our room, with a balcony overlooking the Rhine was outstanding in every way. We so greatly appreciated the plates of treats that welcomed us, and enjoyed the complimentary fully stocked minibar. The heated towel rack and heated bathroom floor were decadent additions to an already amazing space. The bed was comfortable and the room very quiet. Breakfast was a delight - so many delicious and visually appealing choices! Definitely try the sweets table - chocolate coated banana bread is scrumptious, and the cookies - yes, cookies for breakfast - were such a treat. Our only regret was that our stay was just one night. Without question, we need to return to Basel and enjoy the Grand Hotel les Trois Rois for a much longer time. Thanks to the entire staff for an outstanding experience!"

Merian am Rhein Hotels in Basel

Merian am Rhein

"Room was extremely outdated, shower covered in limescale, skirtings coming apart on the walls not to mention it was very hot. The tea & coffee is a decent touch but you’ve certainly paid the price for it as it’s expensive to stay. No staff what so ever, I unfortunately injured my foot badly on holiday & asked through the external buzzer if someone could help me with my case down the steps they said no that no one was available. States you get a BaselCard on arrival - I didn’t. No housekeeping - apparently you need to put a card on the door for it - I had no idea again as there is no staff to run you through anything on arrival. Upon me telling them this they responded the hotel is not newly renovated but well kept (limescale & departing skirtings does not seem well kept to me) and the room was superior room and enjoyed by guests (wouldn’t like to see the rest of them then) That they do not offer a luggage service (I didn’t not ask for this I had already struggled from my room on the 4 th floor all the way down to the lobby myself - I simply needed help out the front door as there are around 10 steps and I only had use of one foot!) Just told me to leave a review so here it is. Poor attitude, poor hotel - Hostel with hotel prices"

Courtyard Basel Hotels in Basel

"0 service and total absance "value for money". Extremely expensuve for nothing. 35 euro for old, required for innovstion snd dangerous pool Aquabasilea and hammam entrance for extra money for hotel guests.

Krafft Basel Hotels in Basel

Krafft Basel

"The hotel is close to the river, the room window is close to the city street, and it is a bit noisy at night. But the overall environment of the hotel is very exquisite and comfortable, the service is very thoughtful, the luggage stored in advance has been helped to put into the room when the afternoon check in. Breakfast is delicious, and there is free tea and coffee on each floor. The style of old European boutique hotel."

Ibis Budget Basel City ★★
"The location was excellent, very close to the tram stop. The rooms are small, but sufficient for this concept; only the separate bathroom and toilet seemed illogical to me. Breakfast was good. Having access to an iron, microwave, oven, and kettle for personal use was an added bonus. Plus, the BaselCard provided for public transport allows for free travel around the city."

"What did we like most? Hummmm EVERYTHING. Staff was great, Room was great, Breakfast was amazing. We absolutely loved this hotel and our stay.

"Staff are very friendly and helpful. Great little bar/table area downstairs to relax in. I was surprised that I could choose a double bed in my female only dorm, that was a nice bonus. Not all beds were doubles though! Hostel is slightly out of town but easy to get to the tram and the Basel Card is fantastic as it gives you free public transport. Toilets are very clean and the showers look clean and also have locks which is great."
