Enjoying a quiet location in the heart of Basel, the Radisson Blu Basel Hotel is just a 5-minute walk from the central train station and features a great indoor pool.

The room was very dusty. Dust was flying in the air. This was quite disturbing. However, it was not a bright and spacious room as it appeared in the pictures. I did not expect such a low quality room despite such a high price in terms of price performance. The only good thing was that the hotel was located close to the train station.

The Essential by Dorint Basel City enjoys a quiet location next to the Messe Basel fairgrounds, close to the airport, and within easy reach of the center.

I had my birthday celebrated during the stay at this hotel and the staff made my day! Everyone worked together, from the receptionist, the chef and the ladies assuring the breakfast service to surprise me with a cake, with candles and even with a toy as a gift from the entire team! These people are amazing and their collective really makes you feel like home away from home.I would like to thank to Alex Chirita especially, for being so friendly on arrival, such a good guide recommending places to visit, he was so kind to plan the birthday surprise and take care to have the exact candles as my birthday age. The attention to details waa a top notch! The location next to the bus station connecting the hotel with the train station and city center it's a big plus! Also, the breakfast's options are so variated and for everyone's taste, always having fresh products. The room was perfectly clean, and bigger than the usual in Basel, the cleaning done everyday with attention and taking care of the personal belongings in the room. The friendliest staff I've encountered in a long time during so many years of travel!
