"I think this people are dishonest. They made me pay twice at the check in, although I showed them my payment confirmation email and when I came back because of hotel.com debit on my account they pretended that everything was normal and it's only when I came back with proof of two payments that they admitted their mistaken and they didn't even apologize, they were acting like it was usual. Also there was a city tax not announced in the reservation."

Top Basel-Stadt Hotel Reviews

Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location near public transportation, spacious and comfortable rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. And even though it’s in a busy area it was quiet at night - we for a great night’s sleep."

Riverside Hotel Merian - opening 2026

8/10 Good

"A good hotel in a great location. There were some issues with the elevator, which wasn't working during our stay, but it wasn't a big deal for us. The check-in process was unnecessarily convoluted; it could certainly have been much more expeditious. All in all, it was a very good stay."

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!"
