My new home in Basel
Reviewed By flow_9n0Wonderfully comfortable hotel with a very inviting and helpful staff. Mandatory Covid testing and all of the extra travel declarations had me worried about getting home. But the team at the front desk helped to print documents and even to schedule the testing at a nearby clinic. Located just outside the SBB train station, this is my new default stay in Basel.
2. Steinenschanze Stadthotel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 931 reviews
The Steinenschanze Stadthotel has everything you want from a modern and comfortable hotel: Ideally located in the center of Basel, near the old town and near the University of Basel, the museums and the most important institutions. Very easy access to the convention center and the Messe Basel: 9 minutes by car or 14 minutes by tram. Very good access to Airport Basel: 12 minutes by car or 30 minutes by bus. Contemporary urban design, friendly and bright, likeable service, rich breakfast buffet with lactose and gluten-free, vegan offer. Free Wi-Fi. Not much indicated from the outside out: in this haven of peace and relaxation in the middle of the city. Here in the garden you can have breakfast in warm weather and take your aperitif to be. Or simply cuddle up with a good book on one of the comfortable garden chairs and listen to the whispering leaves. Give yourself a break from everyday life. In Steinenschanze Stadthotel.
Great Staff and Location
Reviewed By maritimeexplorerBasel is a very much underrated tourist destination that should be on everyone's radar. It's medieval district is one of the most lively in Europe and the Kunstmuseum is a must visit art gallery. The Steinenschanze is located only a minute or so from a stairway that leads directly down into the historic district, but far enough away not to be bothered by noise from late night carousers. The rooms are a decent size for Switzerland with electric blinds that can be lowered or closed for a better sleep. The bathroom is marble with a very good shower. One unusual feature was the presence of a vinyl record player with a selection of LPs. I suspect some guests might not even know how to use one. The only thing missing was a mini fridge. The hotel has a very nice garden area where you can sip the cold glass of complimentary white wine they offer on your first night. It's also a good place to enjoy breakfast, but that is not included in the price. The staff are extra helpful and upon our checkout they presented my wife with a birthday present of Swiss goodies. They had noted it from the date on her passport. It was a very nice gesture. The Steinenschanze is mid-level price wise for Switzerland which is still on the higher side by North American standards. One caveat - don't even think of trying to walk here from the train station even though it's not that far. The complex of multi-level roads outside the station is so confusing that even with Google maps we got lost. Thankfully strangers who noted our perplexity stopped to assist us when Siri didn't have a clue.

Excellent location
Reviewed By 828mjjMy room was clean and quite. The location is perfect for catching public transportation to anywhere. I would recommend that for business travelers like me who are up and out early, you skip including the breakfast. The breakfast lounge only opens at 7:30 AM.

Awesome beds - Quiet room - Great location

6. Art House Basel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 254 reviews
Das ART HOUSE Basel inmitten der Basler Fussgängerzone bietet 33 grosszügige Zimmer mit jedem Komfort für den modernen Reisenden. Geniesse wechselnde Urban Art Ausstellungen in den öffentlichen Bereichen. Lehn dich zurück bei einem coolen Drink auf der Rooftop-Bar. Das Restaurant «Souvenir» nimmt deine Sinne mit auf eine kulinarische Weltreise.
Deceptive!
Reviewed By ABSSParisThe Art House Hotel is well located. People are nice and helpful. The Japanese-zen styled medium superior room is clean, the semi-opened bathroom (shower only) newly equipped. A range of drinks is available in the mini-bar for free, and we are provided with a card that allows discounts for tickets to museums in Basel and to get on the tram for free. All of that seems very promising. BUT, DO NOT INTEND TO use your bedroom for enjoying a relaxing time or for a SLEEP! The level of noise is incredibly high until past 2.30 am, the place being surrounded and topped by bars and lounges and the sound isolation (windows, walls) nonexistent. And even if you decide to party yourself, do not hope to catch some sleep in the morning as from 7 am on, cleaning machines are passing by and forth not once, not twice but 6 times to get rid of all the mess. At 350 € the night (398 with taxes and a disappointing breakfast) I still think you should be entitled to sleep at night in your hotel room, even more when you are sold a "Japanese-zen like" experience.
7. The Passage
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1122 reviews
In the heart of downtown Basel, experience a unique way of living in Basel, a place of transition between the old and the new city. Close to the main train station and to all major commodities, The Passage will open in the first quarter of 2014. Located on the ancient fortifications, it occupies a unique position in the city. It's your turn to discover The Passage before everyone else does.
Spacious, modern room; only downside is the garden music
Reviewed By Susan WI was in Room 002 which was very nice. Located on the ground floor, modern and with plenty of room to walk around. However, the room's window opens onto the little courtyard/lounge/hangout area, which had music playing from morning until later at night. With the window closed the music could barely be heard, but I like having the window open and the volume could be annoying, particularly after dark. The hotel's outside appearance is fairly bland and the street is quite busy, but it's set back a bit so is pretty quiet overall. And you can easily walk downhill to the old town area for a variety of restaurants, shops and historic sites (including the gorgeous Rathaus/City Hall). The service was quite good, friendly and professional.
8. Radisson Blu Hotel, Basel

Contemporary Six-story Hotel located downtown, near theater, banking & shopping.
Clean, comfortable - fit my needs
Reviewed By MAP12Hotel was clean and comfortable, staff friendly. Other than that it wasn't a very memorable stay - nothing exceptional, but a good basic stay. I would stay there again and would recommend it for people staying in the Basel area.
9. Hotel Spalentor Basel

Basic, comfortable and friendly
Reviewed By Next81This hotel is located just by the Spalentor. Great for exploring the old town and only a 10 min walk to the Rhine River. Rooms are furnished basically, but are clean and comfortable. Nice perks are an espresso machine, a very comfortable bed and a TV with multiple stations for multiple languages. Staff are very friendly and the breakfast, although basic was still suitable.
10. Nomad Design & Lifestyle Hotel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 637 reviews
Urban, unique and inspiring. This is the 4-star Design & Lifestyle Hotel Bar Eatery Nomad in the middle of Grossbasel. It’s here where locals and guests from around the world find their temporary home. Modern architecture in combination with a homely design characterise the hotel with a unique charm: from the gym with sauna, to the Business Rooms, right up to the Penthouse Suite.
Ultra modern Gem!!
Reviewed By WastedonthewayWe stayed at the Nomad for two nights. The location is excellent and amazingly quiet. The rooms a very uncluttered but also very comfortable. The toiletries were of high quality. The check-in check-out process was very easy. We had complimentary access to the Library for snacks and beverages. There is an affiliated restaurant which was very busy although we did not eat there. We would definitely stay here again if we go back to Basal.
