Der Teufelhof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff wonderful and helpful"

The Passage Urban & Lifestyle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous hotel in the heart of Basel, within walking distance from the old city centre precinct. The staff were friendly and wonderful. There is a limited amount of parking onsite, but not for the faint-hearted, as the car park is narrow and the parking spaces are small."

Hotel Spalentor

8/10 Good

"Clean and large rooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was ok, not brilliant. Air Conditioner was around the corner so wasn't really effective for the bedroom area. Location was good right opposite the city gates and walkable to the old town."

Krafft Basel

10/10 Excellent

"I can't imagine a more perfect location to explore Basel. It is right on the Rhine River above a string of restaurants and shops. Across the river, there are beautiful views of historical landmarks. We were delighted to see people floating down the river when we arrived and wasted no time joining them. Hotel Krafft will forever live in our hearts."
