Basel Youth Hostel

Vorstädte Basel|0.05km from Museum of Contemporary Art
I booked a night in a single room with Lavabo - the price is currently at 95,- CHF + 4,- courtage. I am not in a hotel because I wanted to save money and Switzerland is much more expensive than Germany. Benefits of youth hostels: The booking includes a Basel card that allows you to use all the public service free of charge. Furthermore, you pay only 50% of the entry at museums etc. Another advantage: the location of the youth heritage very central, but still quiet (only with regard to the city event), in the old town very close to the Rhine. You can walk to the center. The neighborhood is idyllic. I had a room with windows on the opposite side of the Rhine, there cooled it in spite of a hot summer day in the night nicely from another advantage: breakfast is quite good, it is already ready from 6:00, and the coffee/cappucino from the machine is of high quality. However, one must pay for a cappucino outside the breakfast hours CHF 4.00. A room without shower/WC with Lavabo is easy because there are enough toilets and single showers available on the floor. And a good shower bathtub was to be borrowed for 3,- CHF. The staff of the youth hostels were very friendly. Most other guests do not, often my greeting was not answered on the hall. Now to the disadvantages that weigh more seriously for my needs than the benefits: first of all the relative brightness. Relatively because the construction substance appears normal in this respect, but the behaviour of other guests is ignorant. At the time of my stay, many families with small children were present, some of which let their children cry unremittingly (without pain or dispute) - the children cry partly for fun at crying, in the rooms, but also, Because it is so beautiful in the concrete halls, and well because the parents thought that all could be left in a youth hostel. I didn't say anything to these families because I know from experience that it doesn't bring anything and because I just stayed a night. But I have spoken to the staff, but nothing has been done (that is probably also useless for them). I myself visited Basel to look at a lot of art, and I am a guy who needs a guest room as a place of withdrawal even daily to get back. The impressions in this interesting city are overwhelming. This youth hostel is not suitable for this. I could only sleep with earstops, and that's only uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the room can only be obtained from 15:00 - I would have wished to be able to rest a little before and make me fresh after the long arrival of a hot day (but probably it would have been too loud to rest). In the room there are no hooks or similar to hang towels or clothes. Also in the toilets

Hotel Restaurant Resslirytti

Basel|0.52km from Museum of Contemporary Art
LOVELY hotel But RACIST restaurant staff !! Not recommended restaurant!! Excellent HOTEL staff, really good rooms and amazing service. The breakfast is really amazing too. Rooms were really clean. The tram stop is just few metre walk and the location is perfect. BUT, I wont recommend the attached restaurant at all !! ------ RACIST RESTAURANT STAFF !! Date-14.05.2023, Time-19:24 First, the restaurant staff asks if we have reservation or not. After we said ‘No’, he made us sit at a corner of the restaurant, which really dusty and like a storage corner for the restaurant stuff like menus, cutlery etc etc. We were sitting separate from the “white-skinned” guests. After us, when other guests with NO reservation arrived, they were made to sit with other “white” customers. Now, coming to the food. We ordered 3 Risotto Milanese. The rice was so hard and not at all cooked. We even couldn’t finish 2/3rd of the food. I want to ask the “Cook” if he knows how to boil the rice. Show a YouTube tutorial video of boiling rice to a 15 year old kid and I am sure that he can cook better after watching the tutorial. We complained to the restaurant staff. He apologized with his fake smile and got us the bill and asked to pay. Total bill: CHF 86.10 A complete Sh*t racist experience for me and my parents with worst food in Switzerland. It was my first time experience of Risotto for my parents and they decided to never try Risotto again ever. After getting out of restaurant, we went to bakery to buy some bread for dinner.

Business trip, the room is not bad, just opposite the exhibition hall, the train station to the hotel 20 minutes drive. The executive lounge room is set, the executive lounge is in the room opposite the reception desk, there are not many choices 😂

Old Town Kleinbasel
Super central location on the Middle Bridge, stylishly furnished rooms, clean, free water and sweets on the floor, fast and uncomplicated check-in and check-out. Overall very recommended! Some bars in the street where the hotel is, i.e. if you want to sleep early, you should probably have Ohropax with it. But for example for Silvester/New Year, for example, it was absolutely super!
Ibis Budget Basel City
4/5116 Reviews
I have stayed in many Ibis budget hotels and this was by far one of the best ones. The ladies at reception were extremely friendly and helpful and the gentleman who was in charge of breakfast provided first class service. All hotel staff spoke German, French and English and were very approachable. The room was nice and tidy. I was given a Basel card at the hotel, which allowed me to use public transport free of charge and provided access to various museums with half price entry. Although this hotel is a 15-minute walk from the train station Basel SBB, there are 2 trams that one can take from Basel SBB that lead to a tram stop, which is a 2-minute walk from the hotel. I had a great time here and can highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Basel. Thanks to the Ibis team for a great time there!
Ibis Styles Basel City
4.4/567 Reviews
This hotel is within walking distance from the SBB train station, staff at the hotel are very friendly and speak very good English. I was very grateful for the early check in without any quibble with the receptionist, and she explained how we can get around. Room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast had a good choice of hot and cold foods, with variations every day. I would definitely stay here again. The only discomfort with our room was the temperature in our room was set to 19C, which was comfortable during the day, but was a bit too hot for the night for us, and we couldn’t lower the temperature down.
Radisson Blu Hotel, Basel

Vorstädte
Beautifully maintained and actually 5 * worthy hotel! Rooms are spacious and beds sleep wonderfully. The only downside is the bathroom where you have to shower in the bathtub with a very small shower head and the toilet right behind the shower door. For the rest: - the staff is top notch, breakfast is complete and extensive - the gym and spa is wonderful and the swimming pool is wonderfully large
Movenpick Hotel Basel
4.7/5138 Reviews
Our 3 day trip in Basel concludes on more positives than nagging issues. First the good part: Staff such as Steven, Catia and Michael are worth mentioning as they did their best to accommodate our requests. In general the front office staff seems rather well trained and courteous. Secondly the location of this hotel is ideal. With access to train, tram and bus stations within a couple 100 metres is very convenient. Sound isolation and sleep quality are pretty decent. Rooms are modern and seem to ve renovated recently. Ample parking available in the basement. The best part is the entrance of the hotel is within the private space and does not hinder public traffic. So parking the vehicle to offload the luggage is practical. I feel one of the best designs of this hotel is to be able to manoeuvre your car and allow guests to be able to safely disembark. Breakfast is decent and very clean setup. No signs of hygiene issues. And now to the few nagging issues: First the over engineering of elevators and their use can ve confusing at first. Staff should take time to read any messages and requests done through third party booking platforms. Although requests were addressed promptly but could have avoided delays. Room temperature settings difficult to comprehend for kelvins to Celsius conversions. Also the room was quite warm and slightly unpleasant in the evening. Breakfast should consider some infant friendly options too. Value for money - a miss for sure. Overall I would say it was quite a pleasant experience but the management needs to step up on making it a value proposition.
