Top Basel University Hotel Reviews

Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent dtaff, spotlessly clean room altogether first class"

Hotel Märthof Basel

8/10 Good

"The room we had had 4 steps between the bedroom and bathroom without any handrails. The flooring also blended together and on a trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I missed the last stair and had a hard fall. Fortunately, I didn’t break any bones which I could have, but I would suggest railings to hold on to in the dark."
