Top 5-Star Hotels in Basel

All of the staff was very friendly and helpful when I had questions. The room was kept very clean throughout the stay which made relaxing that much more pleasant after a busy day of activities. The location of the hotel is very convenient to a lot of the things I saw in the city, and the view of the city/river was amazing!

This is a modern hotel with convenient location Location Not in Basel Old Town, but there is metro stop right outside, they give free metro RQ vouches to all hotel guests. Very easy to get around by metro Very safe area Staff Front desk staff are all very friendly Room Clean Spacious Modern Comfortable beds with modern bathroom Restaurant On-site restaurant has nice ambiance and tasty food The Viking River Cruise uses this hotel for their guests. Very pleasant stay Highly recommend

The location of the hotel is good, next to the European train station SBB, it is very convenient to travel by taxi and public transportation. The biggest problem is that there is no air-conditioning. It is only the beginning of June, and the outdoor temperature is as high as 28 degrees at noon. There is no air-conditioning indoors, and the sunlight is direct (European latitude is high, and the sun's slope is not large in summer), and the indoor temperature is as high as 34-36 degrees! I couldn't sleep at all. I asked the front desk and said that the temperature is relatively low at night and it will cool down. The room is not ventilated and it won't cool down at all! Only a small electric fan is provided, and I have no sleep all night! When booking a hotel in Europe, you must ask whether there is air conditioning. 80% of hotels in Europe do not have air conditioning, which is unbearable in summer! This is still a European four-star hotel!

Hotel is conveniently located less than five minutes’ walk (with luggage) from Basel SBB. We were greeted by a genuinely friendly receptionist, who informed us that we had been upgraded. Well, we arrived at the “room,” which turned out to be a suite with dining/conference area, two bathrooms, a soaking tub, and a panaromic view of the Basel skyline. The dining/living area and bedroom were separate, each with individually controlled A/C. The weather was actually very cool and pleasant for late June, so the A/C was sufficient. That said, if it had been hotter, I’m not sure if the A/C in the bedroom would have quite enough for me, but I’m an extremely picky customer when it comes to air conditioning. In general, Switzerland is a tough place if you need your room at 19 Celcius/69 Farenheit. The living room, though, was able to get very cold. The in-house dining and beverage options were fantastic. There’s a more formal restaurant on the mezzanine above the lobby, where I enjoyed a great meal that worked around my dietary restrictions. Downstairs, there’s a patio restaurant/cafe, and a stylish indoor bar with a midcentury Milanese aesthetic. Honestly, I was surprised it wasn’t busier, but that might have been because we were staying midweek, right after Art Basel. Overall, I very highly recommend. Probably best suited to business travel, but it didn’t feel impersonal, or lacking in personality or style. On the contrary, it was comfortable and contemporary, with a few modernist touches that elevated the look and feel of the property.

Beautifully maintained and actually 5 * worthy hotel! Rooms are spacious and beds sleep wonderfully. The only downside is the bathroom where you have to shower in the bathtub with a very small shower head and the toilet right behind the shower door. For the rest: - the staff is top notch, breakfast is complete and extensive - the gym and spa is wonderful and the swimming pool is wonderfully large

We had a deluxe room to the patio (lounge indoor) located. It was very quiet and beautifully equipped. Elktr. Jalousie, silent air conditioning, silent refrigerator with a wide range of drinks and snack filling. A huge comfortable shower in a bright, clean bathroom from glass to the high ceiling. ( With a white, airy light corner, which can be attracted to you, you could be concerned about more discretion. The whole hotel is beautiful and modernly furnished. Coffee is available in the rooms and in the foyer by Nespresso machines. The staff in the whole house is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was extensive with a lot of choice. For the selection there were delicious filter coffee and Nespresso on the machine.

We had a two day stay at this hotel on the way to Paris. This is a charming hotel with a historic facade but modern and renovated interior. We had the Queen room and whilst only 20 sq mtrs felt very spacious. Location is prefect for those with luggage and arriving by train as the station is across the road. We had a lovely view of the station and no noise could be heard with the windows closed. We often opened the windows to soak up the atmosphere of the trams and buskers and the hustle and bustle of the station. The old town is not far away and easily walkable but the hotel provides free public transport cards which makes it even easier to visit the city and surrounds. Some lovely old buildings and a marketplace to visit. We did not have breakfast at this hotel but there is a large supermarket next door where drinks, food, bakery items can be purchased. The bar/ restaurant downstairs has inside and outside seating with the outside area great for watching people and the station happenings. If we return this would be our hotel of choice. Switzerland is a very expensive country so expect to pay a lot more for drink and food than you do at home. A block away is Markthalle an upmarket food court with cuisines from all over the world. We ate here both nights as the food was so good.

Novotel was a nice place to stay for our overnight in Basel. Easy check-in and check-out so we had no problems at reception. Our train left very early the next day so they kindly prepared our breakfast to take away which included 2 sandwiches and 2 bottles of water for each person. I can't say much about the facilities since we didn't get to explore but the hotel was a convenient location to get to Basel SBB. The reception staff also helped us book a taxi which we were thankful for as fewer trams went around the city so early in the morning. We were also given a Visitor Pass to travel around the city so the trams were free and we got a discount at the museum we went to. The only downside was there wasn't a convenience store nearby or maybe there was but we didn't get to see one immediately. Thanks, Novotel!

Comfortable location - to the station 5 minutes by bus 30, walk often, stop in step. Near the chic gate of Spalentor, behind them almost begins shopping space and center. Before stopping 50 bus to the airport, take 5 minutes. The staff at the hotel is very welcome, on the receptacle spices, water, candy, cards, booklets, cards. Settled before the placed, late departure without extra payment to 12, then 50 Franco. Give a basel card: free transportation, including to the airport, and 50% discount on museums. There is also a code for hotel entrance after 22 (or 23, I will not remember anymore) when there is no one on the respiratory. Breakfast is excellent, cheeses of species 7, cut, vegetables, hot, juice, water, jams, fruit, can be ordered eggs, omlet, coffee, etc., on the 5th floor with beautiful views, small room. The room is cosy, slippers, closets, minibar, many different lusters and light bulbs. Quiet. Your cloud programs, ours is not. The blankets are excellent, the pillows are so for yourself. Overall: I recommend.

Basel is very small, just a 15-minute walk from the city center. This hotel is located on the edge of the city center, making it especially convenient for walking and public transportation. There is a beautiful lady at the front desk, gentle and polite. The room size is probably okay in Europe. Although the facilities are not new, they are very clean. There are capsule coffee in the room and the toiletries are provided by L'Occitane. The hotel is across the road from the Rhine, and there is a street behind the hotel similar to the bustling weekend market.
