2-Star Hotels in Basel

I’m travelling with family of 8ppls and staying in this hotel for 2nights. Out of 4rooms, all 3 rooms with issue like smelly room (like dead body inside the room), only one lightbulb is working, door knob got issue, stuffy room.. too many issue that we don’t know where shud we start to complaint. Old hotel and need a lot improvement. Check in staff is friendly. Breakfast consider average. No photo because nothing to shot out with.

Very good, although it is an old building, but it is very clean, with a hair dryer and an electric fan, from the train station to the exhibition center building, just a few minutes away, from the hotel to the river, the old town is very close. There are shopping streets and shopping malls in a few minutes. Arriving at the hotel in advance also gave me a warm check-in, and I can leave my luggage for free after check-out. The elevator is old-fashioned and requires you to manually open the door. The breakfast was very good. I forgot to bring my mobile phone when I was eating. I didn’t charge the city tax. The first floor large restaurant also offers additional catering services, I did not eat. Also sent a city tour voucher, you can take a free ferry boat, offer discounts to visit several museums and free access to wifi of more than a dozen museums (I have pass and portable WIFI, useless)

1. It is only a 5-minute walk from the basel central station, which is very convenient. Go out along the south exit of the railway station, walk through two intersections and you will be in a residential area. 2. The hotel and the next homestay belong to the same family, so you need to check in at the front desk on the first floor of the homestay 3. The conditions are similar to those of domestic four-star hotels, and the price/performance ratio is super high 4. The front desk has a good attitude and is always there. 5. Breakfast can be added and luggage can be stored. . . . There are two parking spaces at the door, because many of them come by car 6. The curtain is automatic and has a remote control highly recommended

Really great hostel for seeing the sights of Basel. Location was close to the Basel SBB train station and trams going into the main part of Basel. You can also easily walk. I stayed in an 8 bed female dorm, which had comfy beds. Each bed has it's own locker assigned with key provided by the hostel. There is a good kitchen with a fridge for guests to use, as well as table space to sit and eat. Showers are spacious and not on a timer. The Basel card they give you at check in is great for discounts on museum tickets and free public transport. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and checking in was straightforward. I would recommend as a place to stay to explore beautiful Basel. 

It was a comfortable stay, with great pillow and comforter. The toilets are clean and bright, with shower gel provided, as well as towels! The breakfast was amazing. The room is spacious and the overall environment as well as the architecture of the building is unique and impressive. However, there is no power socket around the bed, only a usb might be a slight disadvantage. You have to take the bus from the train station but they do provide free Basel Transport card. I enjoyed my stay there and would come back if I'm visiting Basel again!

With a stay at this apartment in Basel (Basel City Centre), you'll be within a 10-minute walk of Jean Tinguely Museum and Rosentalanlage. This apartment is 0.2 mi (0.3 km) from Rhine and 0.5 mi (0.8 km) from The Palantine.Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as complimentary wireless internet access and barbecue grills.Self parking (subject to charges) is available onsite.Make yourself comfortable in your apartment.

This hotel is within walking distance from the SBB train station, staff at the hotel are very friendly and speak very good English. I was very grateful for the early check in without any quibble with the receptionist, and she explained how we can get around. Room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast had a good choice of hot and cold foods, with variations every day. I would definitely stay here again. The only discomfort with our room was the temperature in our room was set to 19C, which was comfortable during the day, but was a bit too hot for the night for us, and we couldn’t lower the temperature down.

It is an apartment hotel with kitchen and kitchen utensils and spacious rooms. It is a 5-minute walk from the bus station and supermarket, and transportation and life are very convenient. In addition, the hotel has a laundry room and I am generally satisfied with my stay for a week.

This hotel was a wonderful breath of fresh air to close out our 10 day Europe trip. We chose it because of the proximity to the train station (across the street) and the trams (across the street), but unexpectedly I am glad I did for the pick up for bus #50 to the Europort at 4:30 in the morning, which picks up right in front of the hotel. I was looking for a car service which would have cost over 200CHF but instead grabbed this bus for free with the free Basel transportation pass that the hotel gave me and my family. Let’s be honest, we talk about European, or really any large city hotels as “charming” or “boutique” and really what we mean is “small”. I know we are out and about sightseeing so a “hotel room is really just for sleeping” but, at least for me, coming back to a small room and small bathroom at the end of a long day really stinks. This hotel does it right! Fantastic and efficient check-in. This was where we got directions for bus 50 which saved me a lot of anxiety and money. The hotel is just roomy all around. Wide stairs and a large elevator. Our room was huge, not just for Europe, but for any hotel. A really large, two sink bathroom. The bed was extra comfy and (thank you!!) the air conditioning was top notch. I have never sweated so much as I did the week before my arrival to the Schweizerhof Basel. And on the second floor they have a fridge with as much still and sparkling water as you can drink. Such a savior on a really hot day. It’s a short walk to old town and the hotel is locating in a bustling area of the city, but an oasis of calm once you walk inside. I absolutely loved this hotel and would highly recommend to anyone. Outstanding value for the money and the location can’t be beat.

Good location if you are traveling on public transport. We came from Colmar by train and the hotel is only a short taxi ride from the station. It is not an area for cafes, restaurants etc. as there is nothing around. There is a tram just up from the hotel and you can take this into the heart if the city. We didn’t as it was only an overnight stay and we were too tired. We contented ourselves with a snack from a machine in the lobby. The room was small but for one or two nights not a problem. Bed was comfortable, water hot and WiFi good. We left too early for breakfast so can’t comment on the food. The young lady on reception was very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend for short stays. Great value for the price we paid, AU$97.
