Hotel Basel

The breakfast was very good and offered a very nice selection of food.

I was in Basel for a conference which was held at the Basel University. The location of your hotel was perfect for attending this event which was a short 10 minute walk up the hill. Getting to your hotel was easy using public transport from the Airport and Swiss Bahnhof. There weren't too many cobbled roads to drag wheeled suitcases to get to the hotel.

Spotless

Nothing

We stayed here after taking a river cruise, and we arrived very early to drop our luggage and walk the area. This was accomplished in a quick, friendly and efficient manner. Off we went to explore the Rathaus (very close) and then more of the local sights. Back to the hotel to get settled and ready for dinner. We had room 420 which was well situated and quiet and large. The room had a refrigerator and a safe. Bath towels are body towel size. One thing about the hallways: there are intermittent stairs (just 3 or 4 only in some areas) so if it’s hard for you to move your luggage, they are happy to do this for you. Ice is available and it's free. It is delivered to your room, so a small tip is a good idea. We ate at Brasserie Steiger which is connected enough to the hotel to charge dinner to your room. It was very good - good wine and meal selection. We figured this was our best option as the other restaurants in the area were doing Cordon Bleu 6-10 different ways, at varying prices. So in this instance, the easy choice was the best for us. The next day we were off by train to Chur and they arranged a taxi that arrived at the exact time we requested. We enjoyed everything about this place and if I ever return to Basel, I will stay here.
