About this property

The Hotel Krafft Basel and restaurant can be found in the heart of the city, right on the bank of the Rhine river with its Mediterranean-style promenade. Laptops with wireless internet access and printers are available for free. The view of the historical scenery on the other side of the river is breathtaking - be it from the restaurant or the terrace overlooking the lively river promenade. You will get the mobility ticket for free use of all public transport in town during your stay. The Krafft is a classical building with a famous past. For example Hermann Hesse used to stay here writing most of its well-known novel “Der Steppenwolf”. Your hotel booking confirmation is also the ticket for the public transfer from the airport or train station to the hotel. Hotel guests are entitled to a 25% discount at the Rebgasse public car park.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

    Thankfully I’ve come across “Rheinschwimmen” activities and the hotel was kind to give water proof bags to join. It was a very beautiful experience, thank you once again 🙏

    It was our 14th wedding anniversary and Krafft team got us a bottle of wine and left a well wishes note for us. It was a memorable surprise for my wife. Thank you Krafft Basel.

    Close location! Free use of a dry bag to float the river. The receptionist Buhlinda was so kind as well. The room was big and it was comfortable.
