Central City Hotel Rochat

10/10 Excellent
"Booked 2 twin rooms but one of the rooms was very small, asked to be moved and this was dealt with without fuss. We didn’t have the Swiss adapter, again, dealt with. One couple had breakfast every morning and said there was great choice and plenty of it. Air conditioning worked perfectly so room was never too hot. Perfect location for wandering the back lanes/shops-in ‘Tourist’ Basel. Tram stop a short walk down the hill. All staff were extremely helpful and very pleasant. Would highly recommend this hotel. We would definitely stay here again."

When is the best time to go to Basel?
The best time to visit Basel is during the shoulder seasons of April to May and September to October, or in December for the Christmas markets.

During the spring (April to May), the weather is generally pleasant with mild temperatures, and the city's parks and gardens are in bloom. This is a good time for couples who enjoy walking along the Rhine and exploring the city's outdoor attractions without the larger summer crowds. The cultural calendar also starts to pick up with various exhibitions and events.

Autumn (September to October) offers mild weather and fewer tourists, making it ideal for those who prefer a relaxed pace. The changing colours of the leaves along the Rhine add to the city's appeal. This period is particularly good for solo travellers who appreciate art and museums, as the city's many galleries are less crowded, allowing for a more intimate viewing experience.

December is a special time to visit due to Basel's renowned Christmas markets. The city transforms with festive decorations, and the markets, particularly around Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz, offer a delightful experience with local crafts and seasonal treats.
