Only steps from train station. Shops and services open in station on Sundays. All other stores are closed Sundays in all of Switzerland. Streetcar noise 20 hours a day and noise from patios til past 1AM. Windows are very well noise insulated. We kept windows closed 2nd night and it worked out.

The Schweizerhof is one of my Happy Places when I visit Basel. Clean, friendly and efficient. It's so exciting to see that the Hotel is now promoting tap water instead of 'free bottled water' that only contributes to the micro/nano plastic misery. Kudos Schweizerhof!

Wonderful hotel that was very clean and excellent staff. All of the front desk staff spoke English well. The room was very comfortable and well designed. We loved its location next to the train station and with lots of trams right outside the front door. Transportation on the city trams is free for hotel guests and the staff helped us make good use of it. The location is excellent, quite near the old town. In fact, it is only two tram stops from old town. Even though the hotel was right next to major transportation hubs, it was very quiet inside. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

I booked this hotel because the website says they have a bar serving hot and cold snacks - there is even a menu on the website. However that turns out to be a compete fiction

Liked that the property was CLEAN, CLEAN. CLEAN and that they offered wash clothes in the bathroom. I've come to find that the hotels in Europe only give you a large towel, which makes no sense to me. This hotel gave us large towels, medium towels and washclothes. Also, the bathroom was a good size with a big shower space! That was fantastic. Additionally, we loved that some of the channels on the TV were in English, specifically the American shows, that way we could watch something we were familiar with and actually understand. I was very pleased with this hotel for our short stay.
