Hotels near EuroAirport Basel - BSL, Basel

Great location for airport stopover. Very basic amenities and the standard of the towels was shocking, it was like a rag in bright pink. However it did the job for us so other than the towel no complaints.

That part behind the airport where we stayed was beautiful, nicely kept gardens, no traffic, beautiful houses. I would not recommend to eat in a normal restaurant though, unless it is fine dining, since the prices are way too high for a mediocre food.

Very much ‘budget’. No air conditioning at night (started up in morning). Bed hard as a rock. WiFi not connecting to internet. Basic TV channels with no foreign language service. No tea/coffee making facilities. Was a Plus that windows opened on a hot night. Staff courteous, some with English. No where near airport. Did offer free pickup one way only. Took an age to arrive. Not close to rail station either. Would not stay there again

The young Woman Chloe was very nice and charming, she took me to the airport with the shuttle and she even took my heavy suitcase. I had only one night there and my flight was at 7.00 in the morning. Breakfast buffet was ready at 4.30, when I came downstairs, so it was possible to have coffee and to eat something.

If you stay in Hégenheim, France, to visit Basel, Switzerland, and you rent a car, you will have to pay an extra daily fee to cover the multiple border crossings you will be making, and the fee is not insubstantial. In addition, I heard that local taxis will not cross the border. I did not experience that, but it's something to ask about and be aware of. I don't know if the no-border-crossing issue affects shared-car services like Uber as well. Crossing the border with your own rental car is problem-free, as the border crossings are not restricted or controlled in any way. However, be aware that a pass needs to be used to park in some parking lots, such as at shopping centers where supermarkets are located. The rental car agency may provide you with the pass for free, but you have to figure out how to use it.

If you have an early morning flight then make sure not to rely on Uber. Book a taxi in advance. I very nearly missed my 6am flight (which was a reschedule after a cancellation the evening before) as there were NO Ubers around at 3am. I was lucky I didn't need to check baggage otherwise I would definitely have missed it. You cannot walk to the airport from here - even though it is right next to the airport - which is massively frustrating.
