Basel hotels

Pros: Breakfast and coffee

Cons: Next to a big hotel

Pros: Clean and modern, ensuite bathroom, helpful staff, really nice breakfast. Fine as a base for a night or two, as you'd expect from an Ibis hotel.

Cons: The hotel was a bit of a walk from the main train station, along either a main road where not many people were walking, or a covered walkway. I thought this would be a bit of a pain, as there didn't seem to be any restaurants or shops closer to the hotel, but you can take the tram - free with the Basel card you're given - from opposite the hotel, which takes you to the train station in a couple of minutes, and they arrive every few minutes. So long as you know this, the hotel is fine, and I would stay there again.

Pros: great location a short walk from the railway station. A simple small room that is excellent for an overnight stay. Staff friendly and helpful. Great if you are using the train station for transit, or the airport bus which terminates at basel station

Cons: Seemed a bit expensive for what it was but to be fair it was the cheapest room in that area when i booked, guess its just an expensive town

Pros: Friendly front desk staff.

Cons: Hard mattress, no working wifi, room too hot but staff opened sealed window.

Pros: Good place for visitors to stay in this hotel. Very polite service. The room was clean and well equippted.

Pros: Price

Cons: Train sound

Pros: Quiet neighbourhood just few tram stops from the city, yet close to either walk or take free tram which is three steps from the hotel. Good hotel for convention guests.

Pros: How quickly my towel issue was resolved, the friendliness of staff. Rooms were lovely and the executive lounge is really nice.

Cons: They forgot to make sure my room had towels

Pros: Stay in good location, easy access, great view of the city

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very accommodating and friendly staff. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable!

Pros: The view, the location, helpful staff. Free travel around and free minibar!

Cons: Bar rouge connected to it, thought there would some kind of discount or something for going in. Pillows are to soft.

Pros: The location, service and breakfast was exceptional! The receptionist who assisted us provided service of which exceeded our expectations.

Cons: Air conditioning was not functioning well, given the time we were there was 30 degrees heat.

Pros: I got an offer to upgrade the standard room which I booked to a business room with 50% discount. This was a good choice. The business room gave me more space, and more luxury and above all, free use of mini-bar and of executive lounge. The lounge has a fabulous view over the city and has free drinks and food all day. The food in the restaurant is also very good.

Cons: The hotel is rather expensive...

Pros: The cleanliness of all the areas and the decoration.

Cons: The temperature in the room was settled too high and I couldn't lower it. So, we did not sleep well.

Pros: Breakfast was extensive and of very good quality

Cons: Temperature in room was a little high, even thought we set airco low and fan high. Opening window was only option to lower the temperature, but the cars in the streets made a lot of noise

Pros: Super friendly staff. Clean rooms. Good price. Multiple options to select from in the buffet.

Pros: Everything

Cons: That i couldnt add points to my account in accor

Pros: Clean modern hotel, nice lobby, ticets for public transport included

Cons: Climatisation didnt work, it was too hot in the room and windows locked, so you couldnt get any fresh air inside. Whole our familly suffered. :(

Pros: Good location, friendly staff, comfortable rooms

Cons: Terrible view from the window overlooking something that looked like a squat. Expensive parking.

Pros: Location.

Cons: The rooms are cold, the bed linen is old and has holes everywhere, there are spider webs in many corners as they do not seem to care much about cleaning.

Pros: The personal is very friendly, the receptionist gave useful tips!

Cons: it's a bit expensive in my opinion

Pros: Nice and friendly reception. Good facilities. It has an elevator that you can go to your room so conveniently although you have so heavy carriers.

Cons: They are little far from the main station but you can reach there by feet in 10 minutes.

Pros: I arrived at about 7pm on a Friday night and the man behind reception was very welcoming and helpful. He even wished me happy birthday as it was that day as well! He handed me a Basel Card which is exceptionally helpful! I was in the green room and it was clean, comfy beds, genuinely a lovely room. I would definitely stay again and I’d highly recommend to travellers. The value for money is great. I didn’t use the kitchen services so can’t comment on that but the rooms themselves were great.

Cons: There was definitely not enough plugs in the green room. Myself and fellow hostellers had to fight (not literally) over who could charge what when! WiFi was AWFUL. Needs to be improved.

Pros: We booked private double room with private bathroom. We were earlier than our intended arrival and was greeted by a very friendly guy who chatted with us and made us feel very welcomed despite being earlier than check in time. The room was great, it was spacious and had a big bathroom. The room felt cold but the comfy blankets kept us really warm. The towels and sheets were clean too. It was also surprisingly stylish even in the room, there were nice artistic touches even i a simple room. We loved it. Upon check out, a sweet, lovely lady helped us with our luggage and everything was a breeze! Mika, the dog, was also cool and nonchalant.

Pros: Free tea & towel, good location close to the train station

Pros: The atmosphere in the hostel is really fantastic, the staff is friendly and helpful, the price is very reasonable, the rooms are very clean, and there are plenty of facilities like washing machine and dryer, breakfast available for purchase, billiard tables, food and drink and ice cream and a very nice patio with garden.

Pros: Location is great. Eight near the main station and a park. Appreciate the bike rental option.

Cons: Not enough cutlery. Staff was a bit stand-offish. As an American, I'm use to people in the service industry being more warm and friendly. Would have appreciated more information on what all was available. I learned while sitting on the toilet that there is a gym. Overall M the facility is nice and comfortable and I love the location. Would stay there again.

Pros: Modern and clean. A good place to work from the café downstairs or the Co-Working space

Pros: Clean. Good friendly staff. Good well equipped kitchen. Great shower. Comfy beds. V clean linen and blankets. Modern checkin system. Quiet and not noisy at night. Good Cafe place to hang out and meet other travelers. Great location close to everything and central Station. Free basel transport card. Lockers in the room.

Cons: I was in a dormetory and there was a very weird old man there too. He was creepy. I asked for a room change and was given one so that I liked. But I didn't like that old weird man in the room who seemed to be living there and didn't seem like a traveler.

Pros: very clean bathroom and toilet clean kitchen late check in without problems very friendly stuff Basel card for free very googd equiped kitchen close to supermarket, market hall (good food from all over the world) and city center

Cons: noisy room (you hear everything from outside)

Pros: Nothing besides the location

Cons: I had the absolute worst experience ever! I would never, not in a 100 hundred years recommend this place to anyone. I was arriving quite late, but didn’t think this was an issue as my reservation mentioned you could check-in 24/7. I got to the front door, but it was locked. There was a note that I should have received an email with an entrance code, so I went on their guest Wifi, but unfortunately no email. (The email only came through the day after... yay!) What I did find was another email of the reception to let me know that they charged my credit card. What for?! I wasn’t even there yet!Sure I could’ve guessed it was tourist tax, but still. There was no description, no nothing. There I was. Couldn’t enter and it was midnight. Luckily (?) another hostel guest let me in. Great... but I still had no clue in which room I was. I asked some people, nobody could help me out. “The reception closes at 10:30pm.” I started calling the phone number on the reservation. I called it 4 times, no one answer. Why have a phone number if you’re not planning on answering. Then I found another phone number via Google, same story. Then I left some messages via Facebook. Nothing. Not even the day after. No reply, no phone call back. Nothing! Is this even normal?! Basically if anything ever happens at this place, staff is unreachable and/or refuses to deal with it! Plus, everyone can freely walk in and out, because people let you in anyways?! It then took me another 30min to find someone that actually knew the late check-in keys are kept in the luggage storage. He went in and got my key. Note: this was another hostel guest! All good. I figured: I’m ok, I got inside, I’m in bed, let’s forget about this ordeal. The day after I’m outside all day. I come back at 10:30pm. My key card didn’t work. I couldn’t enter. Again. Same thing all over. Another guest let me in. Tried calling. I gave up after 1 try. Tried my key at my room, nothing. I had to knock until someone let me in. I was actually planning to have a drink, go out. I couldn’t because I couldn’t get back in. This hostel actually ruined my entire Saturday night. What a joke. On top of that, the lady that let me in, told me she had to let another guest in a few days before, because her key card also didn’t work. I’m all for making the world more digital, but please make sure your stuff works and there’s a back-up plan. I don’t think I’ve ever been as pissed as this. Also walls are as thin as paper. And don’t think people care about being quiet after 10pm. Seriously, customer service is unknown and the place is not safe. Do yourself a favor, maybe spend a few bucks more, but go somewhere else. Never coming back here. Update: tried filling a formal complaint through the booking site. Management was again unreachable. - Sorry, these guys are crooks. PLEASE, I beg you, go somewhere else.

Pros: The beds were wonderful, especially the blanket. Breakfast was delicious. Location very convenient.

Cons: We had to pay city tax, although the booking invoice stated it to be included already!?! This was just not handled properly, but we did not complain, as I had my parents, who are aged now, with me and did not want to ruin the day quarreling about some Swiss francs more or less. Still, I will keep that in mind for the future.

Included breakfast was delicious and offered good variety served in beautiful dining room.

Cons: Nothing. This hotel was great.

Pros: Friendly family-owned staff, warm atmosphere.

Cons: Massage and business center are very awkward. The massage staff is never on the property, the front desk always had to text them to see about availability. They were basically never available. Very frustrating. Business center has a lockout feature that closes you out of your work after 2 minutes. Forces all the web pages closed. When you log back in you're forced out again after 2 minutes. Extremely annoying.

Pros: The location of the apartments is excellent being only a short walk across the bridge to the old town of Basel and just around the corner from a tram stop. The apartment was 'no frills' but reasonably comfortable and well equipped. The kitchen had all the basic equipment to prepare meals if required and, in a very expensive city, it was useful to have that facility. It was good to find English TV available. The secure parking was very convenient and, although expensive, about average for Basel. All in all we had a pleasant stay in the apartment and it was a great base from which to explore this lovely city.
