Hotel Spalentor is located opposite the Botanic Gardens, a 5-minute walk from the Old Town of Basel and the University, and offers free bicycles, free WiFi, a fitness area and a quiet garden with a...

We were pleased. Location is easy to walk. (But not in the heart of the old squares, if you prefere). This street is a scene of daily life and city dwellers' area than tourists' spot. We have stayed in 6-7 different locations in Basel before, but we loved this one too. Our window opened to a beatiful historic building and Spalentor. Botanic Park is just beside. Youngsters, students to seniors, byclers to dog walkers.. Afternoon sun in the room and balcony was bonus in April. Hotel was very clean, staff was very kind and helpful as usual in Switzerland. Small entrance, bar and garden than expected but usefull and cosy for drink wine or coffee. Our room was airy. Free Basel Card, free WiFi, Nespresso and fruit treats was pleasing. And we were very pleased by the breakfast and service.

Newly built in 2014, The Passage in Basel is a centrally located design hotel featuring a sauna, a fitness centre, free WiFi access and air-conditioned rooms.

Lovely hotel in a great location only 10 minute walk to train station and 10 minutes into Basel old town. The hotel is spotlessly clean, comfy king size bed and immaculate bathroom. We stayed in the executive double on 4th floor and it was very quiet with view of the inner courtyard. We had breakfast included and food was varied and delicious. The hotel staff were welcoming, cheerful and helpful at all times. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel if you are considering a stay in Basel and we would definitely return.
