"We enjoyed our stay at Art House Basel for the most part. The staff went above and beyond with restaurant recommendations and were incredibly helpful with getting our delayed luggage delivered 15 minutes before our River cruise departed (two full days after we arrived in Basel!). The location was perfect for sightseeing and art museums. My criticisms: The room lighting, especially near the vanity, was terrible. It created dark shadows and made it difficult to put makeup on.

Top Museum for Contemporary Art Hotel Reviews

Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Unique location. Close to the trading station and to the Trams. Very good breakfast."

Basel Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"We arrived in the evening and it looked like that there were no rooms left. Basler autumn fun fair was on and it was rather noisy. When we asked about a room not facing the fair - they said they were unable due to being fully booked up. Only when I asked for a complimentary drink to compensate the noise they managed to give us 20% reduction for the evening meal. It was rather noisy, as the fair went on late in the evening. But the breakfast was superb- the staff were polite and the sauna and gym were great. Location ideal for getting to St Jakob or „Badischer Bahnhof“"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Basel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in close proximity to old town Basel. When we checked in our room was not ready, but Desiree gave us maps which include voucher for free tram/buses & 25% off museums. When we returned to check in, Jeremy "helped" us ~ passports, check your info, here's your keys ~ NO welcome to Basel, breakfast is served daily, if you need any assistance during your stay. . . . Sort of set me off ~ we were still ~ thank you. The room amenities were nice. We had a family suite with 2 twins & sleeper sofa ~ very large room ~ more lighting on the twin bed side would be helpful. Every other front desk employee, maid service were very nice! We especially enjoyed an end of the night/closing the bar with Igor, the bartender ~ he was very personable & gave us a voucher for a last night drink ~"

Riverside Hotel Merian - opening 2026

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Merian! We had a beautiful room on the fourth floor overlooking the Rhine, and the views were simply spectacular. One of our favorite memories was standing outside on our balcony, taking in the gorgeous river and city views, especially with the Ferris wheel from the Autumn Festival (Herbstmesse) lighting up the skyline. It was such a magical way to experience Basel! The location couldn't have been better. We were within easy walking distance of countless restaurants, shops, and several of the Autumn Festival locations, making it the perfect home base for exploring the city. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Since Basel was new to us, we especially appreciated their wonderful recommendations and guidance, which made navigating the city and discovering local gems so easy. The breakfast was also lovely, with a great variety of delicious options to start each morning. We had such a wonderful experience and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our visit to Basel. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Hotel Merian to anyone visiting this beautiful city!"

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!"
