Best hotels & accommodations in Basel
Traveled via train from Zurich to Basel. Hotel was right across the street from the station, but never heard any train noise in the room. Free Basel card given by hotel that got us free transport around city and discount for museum and city tour. Delicious breakfast included. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
We checked into the hotel just for an overnight stay as we were passing through Basel and only had 1 day to spend there. When checking in the lady at reception (Farah) was amazingly helpful with everything. I have to say Farah went out of her way to make us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. She even told us that the hotel had an extra stroller whi...
Very modern hotel in good location ( a few tram stops to the centre). Most comfortable hotel bed I have ever experienced and very good buffet breakfast included in the modest room price. Staff were exceptionally helpful and all amenities were excellent. In short you will not find better for the price in Basel.
I like the contemporary design, clean room and fantastic breakfast. The staff was really friendly and allow me to check in the room when I reached 8am in the morning (right before my meeting) so I can refresh myself before my meeting. The food choices in the restaurant is few through.
Always enjoy my stay at this hotel. Didn't find out about it until last year and have stayed 3 times since then. I can definitely recommend the location and pleasant atmosphere of the hotel. used the car park this time which was definitely worth the extra money as parking in Basel is at a premium.
The building is actually the university, surrounded by park, and 30 some rooms are made into hotel rooms. Spacious and clean. BUT! They do not have air conditioner. Outside was about 65 degrees and already it was too warm in the room. Location is perfect, 3 min walk through this beatiful gate to old town. Lots of coffee shops and restaurants within 5 min walk. we went ...
Nice and clean hotel situated near the center of the city.Very kind, friendly and helpfull staff.Our room always very tidy fresh and clean.Breakfast very tasty and enough to feed an army.Espresso close to perfect.!!
Arriving at Basel Station, this Hotel is easily reached up footsteps at the end of platform 16/17 and then turning left on the bridge. Even better, there are tram-stops opposite the Hotel which link you to the city centre and the outlying hilly areas of Basel, the complimentary travel card meaning you can visit them as much as you like during your stay. It was lovely t...
Everything was good except the AC was not working The breakfast was limited no many options
The hotel stays directly at the Rhein and has a nice view. It is really Central. The longest way i took to get anywhere in Basel needed only about 30 min.
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Victoria in Basel. Nicholas checked us in quickly and were very efficient and helpful. The new room we stayed in was superb and the hotel was perfectly located across the station, for us. There is also a tram station just across the road which can take you to the city centre and the historic town in no time. The hotel even provided us w...
I'm happy in stay in dorint hotel. The location is good but if you come from euroairport you have to take bus no 50 and then change to bus no 30 ( chamge at basel train station) but there is many way to go to hotel. This way i choose the bus stop is opposite to each other and the shortest walk. If u come with big luggage this is the best way. For the dorint hotel, a l...
Stay at this hotel when you're in Basel! It's a clean boutique hotel with a modern interior. What you get is worth much more than what you pay. The staff are friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond at this hotel. The rooms were bright and clean. Stay in the corner room by the Spalentor gate to get the best view through windows on two walls. The breakfast is reas...
The host is really friendly and helpful!
I only stayed for 1 night because I'm just passing by for my business trip. I recommend for tourist to stay here. A lot of freebies included free ticket for the public transport including ferry ride. Unfortunately I have no time to use it.
The apartment was located at a friendly and lovely neighborhoods and near the markets/supermarkets area. The staff was friendly and helpful. Too bad customers had to pay for kitchen appliances such as culinary stuffs, pans,dishes... which should be available with apartments which were equipped with kitchens.
The apartments are located close to the tram stop on Riehenring (literally at the doorstep) & a bus stop at the adjacent street (<3 min walk away). They are close close to the convention centre & theatre. Closest shops are along Clarastrasse, ~5min walk away. Basel is a pretty small city, with a good transport network, so with a tram & bus stop close-by, you can pretty...
the hotel is very accessible to local areas of interest. it is located near the tram station, very near st. claire church and stores that you can explore. food is ok and room accomodation was comfortable. staff were very friendly and readily gave directions to "must see" sites in basel and neighboring cities. i would stay in this hotel again in the future.
PROS: very central - bus #36 stop, which takes you into city centre and other tourist spots, is just a few steps away; big, clean room with balcony; in the middle of the community, can see how the locals live (I see preschoolers going to school in the morning);near Basel zoo; pleasant Italian restaurant at the ground floor ;owners Beni and Alexandra are very helpful, i...
so high price with bad service, no breakfast,no wifi, no service of cleaning the room, even more the staff is very rude to the custome,you can not even image staff use your money via your credit card without your permission
Small and quiet but centrally located. It was a 5 minute walk to one of the central squares in Basel, Barfussplatz. I loved it because it felt like staying in someone's home vs a large hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Hotel facilities all in good condition. Easy get public transport due to nice location. Friendly receptionist
Our apartment was very clean and quiet. It was a short tram ride from the main station and from the old town. Staff were very helpful.
This hotel is in a very good location, close to the zoo, not far from the station and close to the city. The service is good. They adapted well to the fact the more people arrived than what we had originally planned. The breakfast is nice.
Super nice!
i had a great stay. loved the chance to go around basel and walk along the rhein.
The location is near bus and tram station. The staffs are so nice and having service-minded. I suggest this apartment for those come to Basel as a group. Best apartment!
The apartment was secure, spacious, well appointed and clean. The bed was comfortable. Maria was very helpful with advice and organised our taxi on departure. There is a 'Coffee to go' shop with pretzels over the street and a lovely Italian restaurant next door. Lots of nice shops in the vicinity and a Coop nearby for groceries and supplies. We were on the fourth floor...
This is a vey comfortable place to say. It's very close to the SBB Railway Station and to a tram line that is only one stop from the station and the centre of the city. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and very kindly helped me with my transportation queries. The apartment is in a quiet residential area but there are shops and restaurants very close by. Just o...
Host very helpful, kind and friendly. Apartment room is very big, clean and quiet. I recommend for everyone will go to basel.

Traveler impressions of Basel
Basel in a very beautiful and quaint city. The locals are very nice and helpful; many speak english.
VERY INTERESTING MIDEVAL TOWN WITH A BIG HISTORY. LOT OF MONUMENTS, OLD VILLAS AND NICE RHINEBRIDGES, MOST IMPORTAND IS THE MEDIUM-BRIDGE (MITTLERE BRUECKE) EASILY REACHAGLE BY FOOT OR TRAM.
Just beautifully,loved its friendliness,food and wine clean and cumfortable hotel close to all attractions station,Rhine river shopping.
Not much sightseeing places, the only one is that you can swim in the river in the evening which is a lot of fun
Basel has some interesting Sights to see. It is situated directly at the border to France and Germany, so french, english and german language are spoken.
Basel's best hotels with breakfast
Why we booked this hotel? Pool. Most disappointing: Pool. Room Service overpriced. No Bathropes in the room so how do you get to the pool? Hotel is in CH but lockers in pool area only work with 1,- EUR to lock the things you brought because of no bathropes. Oh bathropes can be picked up at the reception is what the pool staff said. Cold water, no warm jaccuzi or anythi...

Nice place to discover Basel, easy to commute with the tram (free ticket and city WiFi), thé room is super clean, well equipped (nespresso machine). But in the summer the room temperature is very hot even with the (noisy) fan.

Although the room was quite spacious and clean, I was assigned a room on the ground floor behind the reception and my requests for a higher floor room were turned down, apparently due to the hotel being full (I'm skeptical...). At night I had to use a flash light in the corridor in order to find my room and the wifi reception was extremely low so had to enable roaming ...

More about Basel
Once in the city, getting around is most commonly done by foot. Much of the old city is not very large and is easy to navigate, and most of the streets in the old city are car-free. So, tourists especially should plan on a fair bit of walking while getting around the older parts of Basel. The city also has a very efficient public transportation system that includes trains, buses, and trams, so getting around will be easy to do.
There are a lot of impressive buildings scattered around Basel, both old and new architecture that are truly breathtaking. One of the most important of these is the Munster, which is the Basel Cathedral. This church was built over the course of several years during the 10th century, and combines both the Gothic and Romanesque styles of many medieval buildings of the time. Just north of the cathedral is the plaza, or Pfalz, which overlooks the impressive cathedral and is a favorite place for relaxing afternoons or picnics on a nice day.
Basel has a great deal to offer any visitor, from natural beauty to architectural marvels, to ancient historical buildings that have stood the tests of time. The best way to see where Basel’s top attractions, must-see destinations, and great hotels can be found is by exploring the interactive map on this page.
