Hotel Hotel Spalentor

Schönbeinstrasse 1, 4056 Basel, Switzerland –

*8.4* Spalentor: only 1 minute away! (150 feet by foot)

University of Basel: only 4 minutes away! (850 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Hotel Spalentor – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

The property is located near downtown Basel, just in front of the Spalentor arch. The hotel seems to have been renovated recently. The room had a nice view to Spalentor and was big. It was nicely illuminated.

Cristina, United States of America

Great Location to stroll the Old Town. Big rooms. Large and comfortable bed. Super friendly staff!

Paula, Portugal

Location was excellent. Easy to get to by tram from the train station. A two minute walk to the Spalentor tower which is an entry point to the old town. Our room was on the tram side of the street so it wasn’t totally quiet, but we were not too bothered by the noise, which did not carry on into the night. We really enjoyed our stay in Basel and would definitely choose Hotel Spalentor again.

Angela, United States of America

Location. Price. Staff. Room size. All good! Will stay there again

Ruby, United States of America

The hotel is centrally located in Basel as far as I know. Upon arrival, each guest is provided with a transportation pass enabling each guest to ride on buses, trains, etc. that was the best gift from this hotel. The rooms are big comparing to most European hotels. The bed was comfortable and had three good night sleep. Hotel staff were friendly and knowledgeable with regards to shopping, restaurants, transportation availability. The lobby is a bit small for our group of 13. It isn’t when if you are a part of two. The coffee machine is excellent, provided with a very good cup of coffee. The breakfast was included and such a blessing to be able to have a full stomach before starting a full day as tourists in Basel. Highly recommending this hotel to anyone visiting Basel, Switzerland.

Ruby, United States of America

Very friendly and helpful receptionists. Clean and comfortable room, great location

Danniel, United States of America

Clean, comfortable, and the staff all spoke English and were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious, with a large assortment of choices. Very conveniently located. Basel is a charming city.

Judith, United States of America

The staff were fabulous, very friendly and informative. And for those of us who don't speak German, French or Italian, the front desk staff spoke perfect English. The Hotel is in a fabulous area right across from the Spalentor Gate, with easy walking access to the Old Town, and the River. Many good restaurants within a 5 minute walk, authentic Swiss cuisine along with Italian, Asian etc. The room was big, bright and well equipped with free wifi, TV, coffee and tea, blow dryer and a well sized shower with great water pressure! There is a bar in the Lobby and breakfast is available on the 5h floor, although we did not try it.

Gayle, Canada

Anne, United States of America
