FAQs about hotels in Basel









Switzerland Through the Ages

At the meeting point of Switzerland, Germany and France, Basel is an eclectic mix of historic and modern, tranquil and vibrant. With Swiss cleanliness and efficiency thrown in for good measure.

Augusta Raurica on its outskirts houses a well-preserved Roman theatre, while the Old Town is a museum of medieval buildings. The Renaissance Town Hall looks down on Marktplatz’s daily market, while the red sandstone and colourful tiles of the Münster were reconstructed in the 19th century. Bringing it right up to date are the modern creations of city residents Herzog & De Meuron, designers of London’s Tate Modern.

When you’ve finished exploring this architectural heritage, there are still plenty of things to do in Basel. The city’s fine art museum is the world’s oldest art collection, and the zoo is the oldest and largest in Switzerland. Remember to bring plenty of Swiss francs for the shopping mile along Clarastrasse and Freiestrasse.

The Basel accommodation on Booking.com ranges from hotels in Grossbasel to B&Bs in Kleinbasel, home to the nightlife. If you’re flying into Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport in February or March you might just catch Fasnacht: Switzerland’s biggest carnival. You’ll have to get up early to see it start though - 4am!

    Very nice city, everything is very tidy.

    Very nice city, everything is very tidy. The public transportation is very good. A lot of tramways and every several minutes coming the next one. We used tramway 8 to go to Germany and tramwat 3 to go to France. I recomend to visist the Stadtcasino and also to take the train and to go to Augusta Raurica about 20 km from Basel. It was a nice site with roman remains and also a nice rural walking outside the city. There are trains every 30 minutes.

    Very vibrant as far as the museums are concerned. City for art lovers. Also very easy to move within the city with any kind of public transportation. Transportation was free, and the museums are for half the regular price with the card given by the hotel.

    Basel is a very touristy and romantic city.

    Basel is a very touristy and romantic city. It is very easy to explore and walk around. Quite expensive, I would recommend to visit museums on the first Sunday of every month(free) and also find an accommodation which provides Basel card in case you would like to tour the city by bus or tram.

    A beautiful city. I arrived Saturday evening.

    A beautiful city. I arrived Saturday evening. The train station was a little busy and the shops were too but it was to be expected. I explored the city on Sunday, it was very quiet as the locals don't tend to work on Sundays. I managed to see every attraction and walk around the whole city and down to St Jacobs in around 5 hours. It is beautiful, clean, and everyone was friendly. If you learn a little German, they really appreciate it! Just remember to respect the environment and enjoy your time there and it is fine. The railway services there are unbelievable too. Direct trains to Zurich within an hour without delays would be unheard of in the UK. Very impressed!

    Everything. The room is very new, very clean , with all facilities you need. It tells about how the team care for the wellbeing of guests. The staff is very helpful, with quick response. So even though I never get to meet them in person, I feel they are available and will help solve any problem. This feeling of security is very important when you travel to a foreign country. The contact less check-in worked very well. This is the best accommodation in my one month travel in Switzerland.

    Very sketchy, unsafe area - more unsafe than any areas I've seen in Switzerland. Even to enter the building at night, one is scared, and when you do not have the code at hand to enter the building, even more. The info on how to enter the building and room is super unclear. The display inside also got stuck, so it was really a hassle. People on the street shouting all night. Strange idea to do a self check-in hotel in such an unsafe place- you need staff then.

    The hotel is located right opposite Basel SBB, and only 10 min walk from the old town. It looks freshly refurbished, nicely decorated. The room I had was in the annex facing the inner courtyard: clean, comfortable, with a good bed. I wish I had noticed that the control panel for the heating also activated the external blackout roller: when I tried at checkout it seemed to do a good job. Staff was friendly and nice, ready to help. Overall great overnight stop.

    Good location for day trips by train, 10 minute walk to the train station. Also short walk to Barfusserplatz for tram and Christmas market. We walked all over the central/old town area. Room was spacious and well appointed. I liked that the mini bar was a fridge so I could put my own drinks in it. The beds were more comfortable than most hotel beds. Staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was nice upstairs in the rooftop bar, featured local products.

    The location is on the bus route between the train stations so getting around was simple. Our room was exactly as described, it was very comfortable, clean, and quiet, even though it was street-facing. Switzerland is expensive, so having a hearty breakfast really set us up for the day. Breakfast was self-service, there was a good range of hot and cold items, and everything was replenished regularly.

    the room was clean and cozy, I like the presentation of my room and how the electronical curtain was operated. Breakfast was amazingly tasted. The wifi was good and stable, and worth mentioning was, because the location of Basel is almost at the border of France and Switzerland, so I was contantly experiencing the problem with my cellphone internet, but luckily the hotel wifi solved my problem.

    It was quiet, comfortable & the staff was friendly. The trade off for the quiet was a bit more walking in a hilly city. Though once we found an easier path back to the hotel it was fine. It’s a rather quick walk down to the old town so overall we were happy staying here.
