Great location in old town area. Close to restaurants and shopping

Gary, United States of America

Great central location, close to tram stop, friendly staff

Ray, Ireland

Room breakfast etc as expected. Overall our experience was pleasant

Raylene, Australia

The staff was very friendly and found an option for parking our car despite of the fact (which was mentioned on the web) that no parking is provided. Free ticket for public transport and the ferry!

Nadezda, Switzerland

The view is extraordinary and the staff is very friendly. I really liked that the drinks in the fridge were free.

Steven, United States of America

The staff were lovely. We were luckily upgraded to a room overlooking the river. This would definitely be worth paying for - views from the other side of the hotel are indifferent, but overlooking the Rhine was spectacular. Location perfect for exploring Basel.

Mark, United Kingdom

Perfect location Very very nice staff Super clean!

Cristina, Switzerland

Great location and beautiful view over the Rhein and bridge. Really nice, friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast.

Michael, United Kingdom

- Big room with sofa and desk - Good restaurant - Located in a very good street - Mini bar in the room

Damien, Switzerland

We arrived at 4.0pm on the Thursday for an 5 night stay. We where told that we would not get any Sleep on Sunday night. We asked why. It was the start of the biggest Carnival in Europe. We did not know an boy what a Carnival everybody joined in and we had a great time.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

      “Four star rating is not justified.”
      • • Business trip
      • • Solo traveler
      • • Comfort Single Room
      • • Stayed 5 nights

      눉In over 30 years of travel in various countries for work and holiday this was the first time that any hotel charged my credit card four weeks before my stay. Additionally, the hotel facilities are dated, as an observation there is a door leading to toilets downstairs near the lift opposite the reception, the smell emanating as you approached to get the lift was dreadful, not sure if there was sufficient ventilation or air extraction. My room 401 was not certainly a 4-four-star room let alone a 2 star I have stayed in better youth hostels than this. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone. In short avoid it! There are many other good hotels in the city.

      눉Room itself was quite ordinary, a bit cramped. The view made it extra special though. Breakfast was not particularly good value - 25 francs per person (£20) for nothing very special. But I don't really know what the going rate is in Switzerland - eating out is generally very expensive

      눇The staff were lovely. We were luckily upgraded to a room overlooking the river. This would definitely be worth paying for - views from the other side of the hotel are indifferent, but overlooking the Rhine was spectacular. Location perfect for exploring Basel.
