Location was convenient for the train station and getting into town thanks to the free tram pass.

FAQs about hotels in Basel

Switzerland Through the Ages

At the meeting point of Switzerland, Germany and France, Basel is an eclectic mix of historic and modern, tranquil and vibrant, with Swiss cleanliness and efficiency thrown in for good measure.

Augusta Raurica, on the outskirts, has a well-preserved Roman theater, while the Old Town is a museum of medieval buildings. The Renaissance Town Hall looks down on Marktplatz’s daily market, while the red sandstone and colorful tiles of the Münster were reconstructed in the 19th century. Bringing it right up to date are the modern creations of city residents Herzog & De Meuron, designers of London’s Tate Modern.

When you’ve finished exploring this architectural heritage, there are still plenty of things to do in Basel. The city’s fine art museum is the world’s oldest art collection, and the zoo is the oldest and largest in Switzerland. Remember to bring plenty of Swiss francs for the shopping mile along Clarastrasse and Freiestrasse.

The Basel accommodations on Booking.com range from hotels in Grossbasel to B&Bs in Kleinbasel, home to the nightlife. If you’re flying into Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport in February or March, you might just catch Fasnacht, Switzerland’s biggest carnival. You’ll have to get up early to catch the 4 am start, though!

    A nice city. Not too big and not too small. We had a few nice meals and drinks in a number of establishments of which there seems to be an ample selection to choose from. Also had time for a couple of museum visits.

    A lovely city. Easy to walk around. Bonus is the river Rhine which is absolutely lovely to walk along. Historic town /old town is all pedestrian which makes it very easy to walk. A day trip to Freiburg is also worth doing and it's only 50 minutes on the train.

    We always enjoy our stay on the Rhine Promenade in Klein Basel where The Basel Tattoo is held each summer. It is set in the historic Kaserne courtyard, and offers a unique blend of tradition and spectacle, drawing visitors from around the world. Inspired by the famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the event has become a highlight of our cultural calendar, celebrating both Swiss heritage and global musical artistry. Staying nearby means we can enjoy the atmosphere along the river bank and also cool down with a swim in the river, which is quite special and impossible in many cities worldwide. Thank you Basel for this great experience

    The transportation in Basel is very convenient, with an efficient tram system that makes getting around the city easy. The city itself is beautifully situated along the Rhine River, offering picturesque views and charming historical architecture. Basel is known for its rich cultural atmosphere, with a vibrant arts scene, numerous galleries, and world-class museums. I was pleasantly surprised to see works by Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso at the Basel museum. The city also hosts the renowned Art Basel fair, attracting art lovers from around the world. The only downside is that the cost of living is relatively high. However, Basel is quite safe, and well-suited for independent travelers.

    The variety and the international atmosphere of the city. The cleaningness in the trams and buses as well as around the city. The activities in the day and the festival in the evening with Jazz stages around the city. It is an expensive city of course but everything is on high quality. Transportation was very easy . Every 5 to 10 minutes there is a tram or bus.

    I absolutely love Basel and have stayed here many many times. Mum’s kitchen(just google mum’s kitchen Basel) is gorgeous food, the crispy duck is to die for. I always eat here at least two or three times on a weeks stay. It’s very easy to navigate with the tram maps and trams run til very late so can always get home . SBB train station has information desks and they are always very helpful with planning days out. Would I recommend Basel, 100% YES

    It was a second time I used the hotel with my family. It is spacious (triple room) and I love the fact that the room does not have TV set. We can have quiet time and playing cards etc. The atmosphere of the hotel and its staff are so welcoming. And, the price does not sound like "swiss price" although the hotel locates just within 5 minutes from main Basel HB. I will use this hotel again if we go to Switzerland again!
