Top Basel Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Riverside Hotel Merian - opening 2026

10/10 Excellent

"Perfecto hotel con vistas al rio. Bien ubicado y limpio"

Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I were staying in the V251 room for 3 nights. It was newly redecorated and was great. We had a corner room so the view was nice and the room was very quiet. A nice feature that I wish we had in Canada is the shutters that roll down on the outside and open and close. Great for choice of lighting for sleeping. The breakfast buffet was very nice and the prompt service was superb. Each time coffee was poured it came with a greeting and warm smile. I wish I had caught the servers name…. There were offers of a true German breakfast of cold cults, selection of cheeses, fruit, cereals, yogurt…. Bacon, sausages, eggs, soft boiled, scrambled and fried. A beautiful selection of breads, croissants, jams and honey. Front desk was very very helpful at check in time as well as providing information of the tram and locations in Basel. You receive a complimentary tram and bus pass of the city…. As well as discounts for various locations in the city. There is a lovely memorabilia hall way in the lower hallway that shows how the hotel functioned in the 1900’s. I found it very interesting…. There are wedding invitations framed on the walls showing the menu … very elaborate feasts were provided….. when we were in Lucerne we say another Schweizerhof …. I am pretty sure we stayed in the original. Please give this hotel a look at when booking in Switzerland… it is a great location… right next to the Train station… very useful for travelling to different locations."
