Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel. I can’t hide it - it’s a fantastic hotel, very comfortable and the staff are the best. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. I’ve stayed there a few times now and found it to be an excellent choice from every angle. Very happy customer here. Recommended."

Der Teufelhof Basel

8/10 Good

"It is well within walking distance of all museums. Clean and tidy. No air conditioning but a nice fan in our room and with the windows open at night was very comfortable. The breakfast buffet booking was money well spent. Staff is helpful and they offer free public transport anywhere in the city as well as a 25% discount coupon for all museums."

Central City Hotel Rochat

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was spacious and quiet in a wing off of the garden. Tea and coffee were available throughout the day in the dining area. There's a couple of cozy chairs and a desk, and mini fridge. We chose to purchase the breakfast buffet and it included a variety of hot and cold choices. The bathroom was also spacious with cabinet space, good water pressure and temperature. There was plenty of closet space, and windows opened over the garden area. The hotel is located on a sloped street with public transport at either side. Walking distance to the river and a number of sights. A wonderful stay!"
