The room was comfortable and decorated nicely. Yes! The non-smoking floor is above the smoking floor so all of the smoke from the floor below comes up through the bathroom on the the 3rd floor. All of the towels smelled like smoke. It was really disgusting. |

The staff was very helpful and spoke excellent English. The bus to the airport was very convenient and they gave us a free bus pass. The hotel is only steps from the central train station. There was no elevator to the floor we stayed on and we had very heavy suitcases. We were also a bit concerned about egress in the event of a fire in the hotel. |

It was close to the train station Hard to get into, you have to go throught the service area of another hotel to get in and out. Smoking rooms nearby vented into the room so it was like you were smoking yourself, not pleasant since we were non smoking guests. Very pricey for very basic accomodation |

Good location, reasonable price. Room was a bit too modish - shortage of shelves in bathroom. |

Close to Basel main station. The hotel is connected through a maze of stairs to its expensive luxury hotel Auriel and the pictures at bookings.com are shown of this expensive hotel and not Central Hotel. I felt I was misled and didn't realize the switch until it was too late. |

The location is excellent to ensure a quick getaway, and the rate was good for basel. The room was listed as non smoking, but it was quite smoky smelling, as was the entire hotel. |

The hotel is very convenient for access. It is difficult to find the hotel. It shares the reception with another named hotel "Hotel Euler". |

Great position since it is close to the railway station and it it weell served by public transport to and from city center. The hotel is high quality but you can find also cheap rooms. Breakfast not include (and somewhat expensive). Noisy surroundings. Not all rooms can be reached by elevator |

As I said earlier it is a convenient place to stay as all forms of transportation are close by. Well, I am American and am used to air conditioning. This did not bother me before as I had stayed at the Hotel Central in a previous fall, but this stay just so happened to be during a heat wave in Basel, so it was a bit difficult to sleep in such heat. They should install ceiling fans for such nights. |

The biggest feature of this hotel is its location. The location is near the river and train station. Substandard building. Passage to the room is like a rabbit warren - past the kitchen, over uneven floors and up an old lift. Walls were marked, bedding was stained, bathroom very small. |

that it was part of Euler Hotel, so access to their front desk and helpful staff accessing the rooms was a strange process - long hallways and a tiny, dim elevator. late night activity in the neighborhood made it noisy. |

The fact that the hotel is located in front of the sbb station. Yes.There is no elevator and it was a real nightmare to carry all the heavy suitcases to the third floor. The fact there is no elevator was not specified and I was not awaqre of that when booking. The staff was very polite and tried to help but it did not change the fact we felt unfomfortable about it. |

Central location! The fact that there is no entrance and actually the Hotel doesn't seem to exist but as an annex to a bigger hotel. |
