Travellers' Choice
Enjoy the charming and unique atmosphere in this modern city hotel, centrally located at the SBB / SNCF train station and close to the Air Terminal (bus shuttle to the EuroAirport). Quick access to Basel's diversity: exhibition square, old town and cathedral, museums, theater, shops and cultural attractions are only a few steps away. All guests can use the public transportation for free. A friendly ambiance ensures that you feel at home in this non-smoking hotel. The 46 design rooms (all as a single or double occupancy available) in the "Economy," "Style," "Comfort" and "First" categories are soundproofed and offer a high level of comfort. Have a snack in our lobby, where we are pleased to offer you the famous "Basler Lackerli" and organic apples from a regional producer. Start your day relaxed with our "breakfast buffet with panoramic view" in the winter garden on the 8th floor. We look forward to welcoming you! Isabelle Tanachian, Holger Brombacher & the cheerful Metropol team!

My experience of the Metropol Hotel Basel was excellent. My wife and I spent two non- consecutive nights there. I was given an upgrade of room by the hotel manager as a birthday present. The room was spacious, clean and extremely comfortable. Complimentary chocolates were also laid out for us. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful and laid on a special breakfast for my wife and me on our second visit even though we had not paid for it. The reception staff gave us useful information about local places of interest. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Very clean environment, superb breakfast. As we celebrated my fiancee’s birthday there, the hotel upgraded us into a better room and they even sent some present and a card to him. Lovely gesture, thank you! As the Swiss are known for not being very hospitable we were positively surprised how kind the staff was. Happy to come back to this hotel anytime.
