Hotels near Bahnhof Basel SBB, Basel

We had a two day stay at this hotel on the way to Paris. This is a charming hotel with a historic facade but modern and renovated interior. We had the Queen room and whilst only 20 sq mtrs felt very spacious. Location is prefect for those with luggage and arriving by train as the station is across the road. We had a lovely view of the station and no noise could be heard with the windows closed. We often opened the windows to soak up the atmosphere of the trams and buskers and the hustle and bustle of the station. The old town is not far away and easily walkable but the hotel provides free public transport cards which makes it even easier to visit the city and surrounds. Some lovely old buildings and a marketplace to visit. We did not have breakfast at this hotel but there is a large supermarket next door where drinks, food, bakery items can be purchased. The bar/ restaurant downstairs has inside and outside seating with the outside area great for watching people and the station happenings. If we return this would be our hotel of choice. Switzerland is a very expensive country so expect to pay a lot more for drink and food than you do at home. A block away is Markthalle an upmarket food court with cuisines from all over the world. We ate here both nights as the food was so good.

I have stayed in many Ibis budget hotels and this was by far one of the best ones. The ladies at reception were extremely friendly and helpful and the gentleman who was in charge of breakfast provided first class service. All hotel staff spoke German, French and English and were very approachable. The room was nice and tidy. I was given a Basel card at the hotel, which allowed me to use public transport free of charge and provided access to various museums with half price entry. Although this hotel is a 15-minute walk from the train station Basel SBB, there are 2 trams that one can take from Basel SBB that lead to a tram stop, which is a 2-minute walk from the hotel. I had a great time here and can highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Basel. Thanks to the Ibis team for a great time there!

A value for money, convenient stay in the heart of Basel. An easy walk to the old city landmarks and the Rhine. The reception’s a wee bit hit and miss because it’s frequently unattended. A nuisance when you’ve just arrived. Perhaps they should tell you just to go to the Euler Hotel reception (the main gig next door). Anyway I recommend it. The staff, when they’re there, are lovely. The room has everything you need and in good repair.

Our 3 day trip in Basel concludes on more positives than nagging issues. First the good part: Staff such as Steven, Catia and Michael are worth mentioning as they did their best to accommodate our requests. In general the front office staff seems rather well trained and courteous. Secondly the location of this hotel is ideal. With access to train, tram and bus stations within a couple 100 metres is very convenient. Sound isolation and sleep quality are pretty decent. Rooms are modern and seem to ve renovated recently. Ample parking available in the basement. The best part is the entrance of the hotel is within the private space and does not hinder public traffic. So parking the vehicle to offload the luggage is practical. I feel one of the best designs of this hotel is to be able to manoeuvre your car and allow guests to be able to safely disembark. Breakfast is decent and very clean setup. No signs of hygiene issues. And now to the few nagging issues: First the over engineering of elevators and their use can ve confusing at first. Staff should take time to read any messages and requests done through third party booking platforms. Although requests were addressed promptly but could have avoided delays. Room temperature settings difficult to comprehend for kelvins to Celsius conversions. Also the room was quite warm and slightly unpleasant in the evening. Breakfast should consider some infant friendly options too. Value for money - a miss for sure. Overall I would say it was quite a pleasant experience but the management needs to step up on making it a value proposition.

I was in August 2023 for a night with the family in this B&B. Let's come to Check In! I had to speak English at Check Inn! Why can't you speak German at the reception in Basel???? Well the room, we had the family room with a double bed and two single beds. The room was beautifully large and clean. Air conditioning is not running at all you can set what you want you not run. I'm pretty bad about you being deliberately placed from the hotel. What I've never seen in a hotel is the windows without touch!!! You can't open or close the windows! ? ! ? Now breakfast! What should I say it was overviewable and evil at the same time! I took me salami and S*****es and the witch was shaved right! Yes, we have breakfast, in fact, Salami and S******en served that I think has been unpleasant for days!

This hotel is within walking distance from the SBB train station, staff at the hotel are very friendly and speak very good English. I was very grateful for the early check in without any quibble with the receptionist, and she explained how we can get around. Room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast had a good choice of hot and cold foods, with variations every day. I would definitely stay here again. The only discomfort with our room was the temperature in our room was set to 19C, which was comfortable during the day, but was a bit too hot for the night for us, and we couldn’t lower the temperature down.

I was overjoyed that the transportation was so convenient that it couldn't be more convenient. I was right next to the SBB train station and got a free transportation card. The room was very large and clean. In Europe, the room was really oversized and the double sink was very convenient!

The location is very good, just a few hundred meters near the train station. The service is warm and thoughtful. Breakfast is very rich and has a variety of fruits. The hotel offers guests a transport ticket to Basel, which is convenient for all parts of Basel.

When I wanted to refer my room after check-in, I noticed the smell of cold smoke in the room, which is an absolute noGo in asthma. At the reception this deficiency was addressed, I was immediately allocated a smell-free room of the same category and the situation was saved by it. Very friendly service. My room was directed against the station and the rubling of the trams when passing the softs from 04:30 p.m. was really nervous and had very disturbing influence on my sleep. The next time (if there will be a next time...?) I would ask for a room turned away to the traffic-rich place. For travelers with deep sleep and good noise tolerance against diffuse rumples of trams, I can recommend this hotel very well: centrally located, friendly service and beautiful views.

Stayed in this hotel an two separate dates a week apart and was not impressed. We booked this hotel as we needed to be near the train station and airport transfer bus as we were flying into the Europot, staying one night and travelling on to Germany by train the following day and doing the journey in reverse the following week. On arrival at the hotel on the first day we were shown to our room, to say the least it was very small! The only way we could open our suitcase (not the biggest) fully was to lay it on the bed. I could not have spent a night in that room as it was very clostraphobic . On going to reception to complain we were told if we wanted a bigger room we would have to upgrade at a cost of 40 Swiss francs . As we had prepaid the room we were left with no choice but to pay a total of 80 francs for both nights. As for the facilities they were basic, nowhere to make a hot drink, indeed there was a carafe and 2 glasses but no water, on the second occasion when we stayed one of the glasses had what appeared to be toothpace on the rim. We found the beds to be uncomfortable, very hard but the shower worked well and the general level of cleanliness was on the whole OK. Breakfast was good with a decent variety of food. While the hotel is well positioned it is not for us and we will not be back.
