B&B Hotel Basel

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay for few days. Wery well connected and close to tram stop. Great staff. Room facing the street and railways a little noisy."

Mövenpick Hotel Basel

8/10 Good

"We booked a one night stay in a Junior Suite. The room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The bathroom had a separate bath and shower. Bottled water was also provided. The property is literally across the road from the main tram station and the main train station so very convenient location. The only negative was that we arrived at the hotel a little earlier and the hotel staff were not very friendly. We requested to leave our luggage and went out for the day. Upon returning we were greeted by Laura from the evening team who was extremely friendly, polite and welcoming. The day time staff need some training from her! Aside from this small matter, we had a good check out experience and I would definitely recommend the hotel to other travellers."

Hotel Metropol Basel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and room were very clean. The bed was really comfortable. Facilities were all really useful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The upgrade was excellent with free travel on public transport and discounts for attractions. Excellent location for transport and amenities. Would certainly stay there again and would highly recommend."
