Staff were amazing, helpful and friendly, checkin easy, only slight issue was the fold down bed mattress was very thin and had metal bars prodding through when you lay down for the 4th person in our room, great to get our Basel travel cards too, location brilliant so overall highly recommended

Awesome staff and place to stay

The young lady at the front desk was extremely helpful to us, and offered us directions to the city. It was so nice to have the transport pass even though we had Swiss Rail passes that we could have used, but hat was a very nice touch. The room was so nice and large and the bed was fantastic!!!!! It was quite and very well positioned in the city. Love this place!

Resepsiyon görevlisi, çok ilgili ve yardımcı idi. Oda temiz ve ferah,kahvaltı güzeldi. Merkeze yürüyerek 15-20 dk, toplu taşıma ile bir aktarma yaparak 5-6 dk.da ulaşılabilir. Tüm otellerde bu uygulama var mı bilmiyorum ama bize bir kart verdiler ve bu kart sayesinde havaalanına dönüş dahil konaklama süresince toplu taşıma araçlarından ücretsiz yararlanabildik, ayrıca bu kart ile tiyatro/ konser gibi etkinliklerde %50 indirimden yararlanabileceğimiz söylendi. Biz bir gece kaldığımız için bundan yararlanamadık, ama böyle bir imkanın sunulmuş olması çok güzel.

Hundevenligt hotel med manglende lydisolering

Hotellet var rigtig hundevenligt. Vores Golden Retriever giver hotellet 5 stjerner i alle kategorier! Resten af familien manglede lydisolering af vinduerne ifht. Togtrafikstøj og fyrværkeri. Servicen er baseret på selvbetjening og tilkald, men var venlig. Sengene var gode, badeværelset vidunderligt, morgenmaden fin og beliggenheden central.

Traveling from Canada, we found Basel to be quite expensive. That said, Royal Hotel provided really good value for money. It was professionally run, the self check-in was easy, and being across the street from transit was very convenient. The unit was small, but very clean and as advertised. There were 5 of us (two adults and three teen children) and had a good sleep. It was nice to have a (small) work area too. We'd stay again!

Loved the fantastic views from the balcony, and the bed was comfortable, but wish the sofa bed was better. Our daughter has bad hips so our sleeping arrangements had to be adjusted to accommodate her. Convenient location near Coop and Basel BB train station, but a bit far from everything else. On the expensive side for what you're getting, but I understand prices are higher during Fasnacht. The shower was terrible - intermittent intervals of cold water throughout every shower, lasting a minute or more each time, made the shower experience unpleasant.The staff was fantastic and helpful, however.
