Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"A very comfortable stay. Nice central location. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was excellent!"

HYPERION Hotel Basel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Hyperion at short notice when our return flight from Basel to the UK was cancelled at short notice. The room was quite small but clean and well-equipped and with a good view to the east. The front desk staff were very helpful with replenishing supplies for the coffee machine in the room and dealing very quickly with a fault on the room safe. We had to leave the hotel at 4:30 am to catch the replacement flight so appreciated the 24 hour front desk service."

Central City Hotel Rochat

10/10 Excellent

"A member of my party was under the weather by the time we reached Basel. I had contacted them asking to see if we could have an earlier check-in to rest. The staff on duty got us in earlier than scheduled and was utterly sweet. Hats off to you and your team of understanding polyglots. We had booked an upstairs/downstairs room. The novelty wore out quickly, because there was only one sink/bathroom upstairs. Not their fault. We learn. We were also fortunate that when we got in, there was a huge fair running outside the hotel. We had food and fun times without going too far!"

Hotel Metropol Basel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our third stay in four years which s a strong recommendation. Our room was good and was very quiet despite being close to the bus and train stations. The staff were very helpful with one exception when they found it difficult to give precise directions to a landmark in the city - quickly corrected by another member of staff. The room met all our needs and had a kettle, safe and small fridge - all very useful for our stay of 8 days. Sadly none of the rooms in our price range had a shower (only a shower over the bath), but with difficulty we managed. One great bonus is its easy access to the railway station (2 minutes away) which was important as we used the Swiss Travel Pass extensively throughout our stay. Everything was as we expected it to be and overall we recommend The Metropol warmly."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Sankt Jakob?

The best time to visit Sankt Jakob in Basel is generally during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.

Spring offers pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 10°C to 20°C, and the city's parks and gardens are in full bloom. This is a good time for outdoor activities and exploring the city on foot without the intense heat of summer. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season, making it easier to enjoy attractions.

Autumn also provides mild weather, with temperatures between 10°C and 18°C, and the changing colours of the leaves add to the city's appeal. This season is particularly good for cultural events and wine festivals in the surrounding region. The cooler, crisp air is ideal for comfortable sightseeing.

While summer (July and August) can be warm, often reaching 25°C or higher, it's also a popular time for festivals and open-air events. However, it can be busier and more expensive. Winter (November to March) is colder, with temperatures frequently dropping below 5°C, but it's a magical time if you're interested in Christmas markets and winter sports in the nearby mountains.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
