Only stayed one night, but found it very well located, staff very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was very good. We kept our windows open, we enjoy hearing the sounds of life, could have shut out the noise if we wanted to! Very easy to walk into the centre of Basel and equally easy to catch the tram right outside the... More

We visited Basel for the Hodler exhibition. As we also visited friends, we needed an accomodation. Schweizerhof is situated very close to the main trainstation and therefore a nice place if you travel by public transport. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and with a nice balcony to smoke on. The beds are comfortable and the... More

Located just opposite the railway station, ideal for those arriving late by train. Noise is an obvious drawback, we had a room not facing the tram station, but it was not quiet either. Rooms have all amenities you need. Breakfast rather limited - not a big choice of vegetables. A bus /tram ticket valid all the way through the airport... More

Been there lately on a business trip. The location is very good, near the train station. I had a room on first floor and it was very comfortable and had been refurbished shortly. The Minibar is free, you can take everything you want from a fridge on second floor. The bed was comfortable and internet WIFI was free. The next... More

The hotel is just across the road from the SBB station. The staff all speak English and are very helpful. My room was very good in all respects except that,being at the very north of the complex,was very near to crossovers in the tram system and despite the double glazed windows a rumble could be heard, the trams start running...

You get out of the bus in front of the hotel. almost all the tram lines leave in front of the hotel. Central Station is only few minutes walking distance. the hotel is beatiful from outside surrounded... More

Situated beside the railway and tram terminii, this hotel has great location. It has car parking in a nearby underground car park, but it's expensive at SF23. reception staff were very helpful, and the room was very clean and comfortable, priced about right too. If you are a light sleeper, beware the distant rumble of trains or trams which is... More

Fairly average Hotel in my opinion with average rooms a tiny bar that seats about four and a pretty miserable breakfast set up. It's not terrible or anything just very distinctively average imo. It is well positioned though in central Basel
