Room was small but clean and nice. However, simple machine coffee cost 4.50 CHF!

Novotel Basel City
Excellent location. 11 min walking from the train station and 5 mins with the tran num 11. The city center is at 10 min in the tran 15, the stop is a just in the corner of the hotel. My only complain, the sofa bed was horrible, cool (leather) and small. Sugestión: pillow-top or extra duvet.

Mövenpick Hotel Basel
The hotel is very nice with great service, especially at the bar and restaurants. The food was great with excellent breakfast. Sadly however the rooms are not cleaned properly with dusty surfaces and dirty floors. Our coffee mugs were wiped rather than changed and clean which made us really question ...
