The location was perfect for sightseeing and art museums. My criticisms: The room lighting, especially near the vanity, was terrible. It created dark shadows and made it difficult to put makeup on.

Top HMB - Museum of History Hotel Reviews

Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

8/10 Good

"Ideal location. Right in front of the SBB Basel train station. With Migro and CoOP within walking distance and open even during g the weekend"

Hotel Spalentor

10/10 Excellent

"I lived in Basel for 17 years and regularly go back with my wife. The Hotel Spalentor is our favourite place to stay. The front desk staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room we were given was spacious and well-equipped. The hotel is conveniently located for the number 30 bus route and is a short distance on foot from the old town and Marktplatz."

Riverside Hotel Merian - opening 2026

8/10 Good

"A good hotel in a great location. There were some issues with the elevator, which wasn't working during our stay, but it wasn't a big deal for us. The check-in process was unnecessarily convoluted; it could certainly have been much more expeditious. All in all, it was a very good stay."

Central City Hotel Rochat

10/10 Excellent

"A member of my party was under the weather by the time we reached Basel. I had contacted them asking to see if we could have an earlier check-in to rest. The staff on duty got us in earlier than scheduled and was utterly sweet. Hats off to you and your team of understanding polyglots. We had booked an upstairs/downstairs room. The novelty wore out quickly, because there was only one sink/bathroom upstairs. Not their fault. We learn. We were also fortunate that when we got in, there was a huge fair running outside the hotel. We had food and fun times without going too far!"

ART HOUSE Basel - Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at Art House Basel for the most part. The staff went above and beyond with restaurant recommendations and were incredibly helpful with getting our delayed luggage delivered 15 minutes before our River cruise departed (two full days after we arrived in Basel!). The location was perfect for sightseeing and art museums. My criticisms: The room lighting, especially near the vanity, was terrible. It created dark shadows and made it difficult to put makeup on. The pocket door between the vanity and the toilet/shower room was very noisy/squeaky There were no hooks in the shower/toilet room to hang clothes on while showering. We ended up hanging our own command adhesive hooks."

GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s one of the best 4-star options. Amazing breakfast and super friendly staff (Dhoka) and front desk! They allowed me to keep my room when I travelled for 1 day. Sauna/Spa is cozy and just perfect. Rooms are clean and well organized. Close to train station and 10 minutes walk (5 min train ride) to the old center."
