Great location
Aya, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had one of the larger rooms in the "villa" annex, and it was very spacious and comfortable. Everything was very modern, including window blinds that are operated electrically. It took a bit of experimentation to figure out what all the switches did. The walk-in shower was especially nice.

Carmen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great experience staying at the Schweitzerhof Basel! We found breakfast to be quite good , the staff extremely helpful and friendly and the bed was very comfortable. It is just a few yards from the central train station, which was very convenient, as we arrived by train and its quite well located to walking around the alt stadt.
Marc, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay.

Everything was great. Just didn’t realize how close to the train station it was. Very convenient but noisy.

We enjoyed staying here. The people were friendly and the area was easy to access anywhere you needed to go.
Angie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a great hotel - perfect if being near the main station/transport is important. It’s a very traditional place in terms of decor but everything was immaculate and well looked after - our room was really spacious and even had an exercise bike which we weren’t expecting! The staff were all lovely and super helpful.
Katherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We got a lovely, private room far enough away from the train station to be pretty quiet. We appreciated the air conditioning, robes, and friendly, helpful staff.

Really enjoyed our stay
Christine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is nice and the location was excellent- close to the station and transport hub. The room was clean and large for a single, but the layout was oddly claustrophobic with the bed squeezed up against the wall despite having plenty of room for a better layout. Also the bed was quite uncomfortable, so I didn’t really get much sleep here. I’m sure in a different layout room the hotel would be a great choice.
Jane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Close to trains. Comfortable property.
Marla, 1-night trip

Scott, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A lovely hotel, so welcoming. Spacious, clean single room at the front overlooking the trams, as I requested. Excellent WiFi / internet. UK channels on the TV and a kettle for a cuppa. Recommended.
Sara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good value in Switzerland!

We only stayed one night but location was good coming from airport on the bus. Also tram stops right putside hotel.Some vibration from trams but not particularly noisy. Large room and bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Staff very helpful with perfect English. Breakfast excellent with lots of choice and tea or coffee served at our table.

Sanjib, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel in excellent location

Excellent location / friendly staff / good room / older hotel but well maintained / comfortable bed / included a ticket for public transport during the stay which i think is a great idea / we had a room towards the front therefore it was a bit noisy from the Trams in front of the hotel but that did not bother us.

Great stay. Only one minor issue — the AC did not provide quite enough cooling. The staff provided a floor fan which met our needs. Would definitely stay here again.
