Top Basel Zoo Hotel Reviews

Steinenschanze Charming City & Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location 5 minutes away from the train station and 5 minutes away from the historical center, shops and restaurant at walking distance. The staff was amazing, very helpful and friendly"

GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s one of the best 4-star options. Amazing breakfast and super friendly staff (Dhoka) and front desk! They allowed me to keep my room when I travelled for 1 day. Sauna/Spa is cozy and just perfect. Rooms are clean and well organized. Close to train station and 10 minutes walk (5 min train ride) to the old center."

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."

City Inn Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice place to use as a base. Location is perfect for exploring Basel. Facilities were clean and perfectly functional for our needs. The breakfast was ample, with a good variety of fresh food and drinks. There is a bit of a walk from reception to the room but not excessive and does involve a couple of flights of stairs. Breakfast is on the 8th floor which you can get to by lift. From here you have lovely views over the city. The staff were always helpful when we had questions. Would recommend for a budget friendly option with great location."
