Others have compared this hotel to a hostel and after staying for a couple of nights it's clear why, it certainly has a hostel feel to it. That said it was clean and the room was spacious (I had a business room) and was very quiet. Having said that the hotel is pretty basic, with few niceties.

Hotel du Commerce is like an upscale hostel. It had all the bells and whistles of any other hotel but at a minimalist level: wifi; self-serving bar with pre-purchased card from desk; staffing until midnight; sparse rooms; sparse breakfast. I have no complaints about it as it fully served my needs and was comfortable and they were very helpful. I... More

The hotel is a mid-range inner-city one, suitable for a short business stay or attendance at a conference if you are solo. The room was of moderate size, with a nice bathroom with bath (my colleagues only has showers). The room was clean and the TV had 50 german channels and CNN. The breakfast was the minimum continental type, with... More

After a tiresome day at work and a lengthy train trip, it was very nice to check-in here at 11pm and find a beautiful room, some wonderful staff and spend a peaceful and relaxing night. Breakfast was also good. And you get free public transportation in Basel. In the end, the only flaw was the wi-fi, which wasn't working properly... More

This is one of the typical hotels in Basel, whose only claim to fame is that they are situated close to the Fair Grounds and thus able to rip off visitors during the large fairs taking place there (such as Art Basel or the Watches & Jewelry Exhibition). Truth be told, friends and I spent a night there recently during... More

This Hotel is centrally located, on the Streetcar line. The Hotel gives you a free pass to use the streecar, which we used and it was very convienient. However, the Hotel has just added A/C to the rooms, ours was not hooked up yet and the room was very hot. We had to leave the windows open all night, and... More

Found myself booked into this place, and realised I needed a upgrade to a larger room, and was offered a non-smoking one that stank of smoke. Finally given a double room in the renovated section (differentiated by smart wooden doors) on the first floor. Room was ultra modern but still small and not somewhere you'd like to while away an...

Hotel is situated close to Basel Fair and city center, walking distance, but there are also trams and busses. Rooms are small, beds are not so confortable. Quailty of sleeping is not good. Rooms are looking over bussy streat, so forget about oppening window or balcony use. Rooms from 3rd to 5th floor do not have WiFI, there is a... More

I stayed in Hotel for 2 days on a business trip. The staff was nice, but I was surprised the size of my room. I was on the top floor and the room reminded me of a prison cell, with a small compact bed and a tiny table in the corner with the TV on it. There was a toilet,... More
