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.

Everything was good. The well known brand met my expectations. The staff was really professional and helpful. The room was wide and comfortable. The toilette was clean and full of products of shower and other uses. The breakfast was satisfying, there was a large variety of food for every taste.

Ibis Styles Basel City is located in Basel, within easy walking distance from Basel SBB train station. The St. Jakob-Park stadium and the Messe Basel can be easily reached by tram.

I loved our modern corner room with two aspects of windows. It was clean and very comfortable. There were blackout blinds and nice curtains. The shower was powerful, the separate toilet had an excellent silent extractor fan. There was a lot of lighting which made it atmospheric. Overall the design of the room was clever. The staff were very helpful and informative. The breakfast was excellent. The location is convenient for St Jakobshalle, city centre and train station. The Basel transport card is including with the stay, so travel all around was free and back to the airport. Highly recommend.

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.

FAQs about hotels in Basel

Switzerland Through the Ages

At the meeting point of Switzerland, Germany and France, Basel is an eclectic mix of historic and modern, tranquil and vibrant. With Swiss cleanliness and efficiency thrown in for good measure.

Augusta Raurica on its outskirts houses a well-preserved Roman theatre, while the Old Town is a museum of medieval buildings. The Renaissance Town Hall looks down on Marktplatz’s daily market, while the red sandstone and colourful tiles of the Münster were reconstructed in the 19th century. Bringing it right up to date are the modern creations of city residents Herzog & De Meuron, designers of London’s Tate Modern.

When you’ve finished exploring this architectural heritage, there are still plenty of things to do in Basel. The city’s fine art museum is the world’s oldest art collection, and the zoo is the oldest and largest in Switzerland. Remember to bring plenty of Swiss francs for the shopping mile along Clarastrasse and Freiestrasse.

The Basel accommodation on Booking.com ranges from hotels in Grossbasel to B&Bs in Kleinbasel, home to the nightlife. If you’re flying into Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport in February or March you might just catch Fasnacht: Switzerland’s biggest carnival. You’ll have to get up early to see it start though - 4am!

    Much better than I had anticipated.

    Much better than I had anticipated. I loved walking along the Rhein into the city centre. It was fun to 'border hop'. We went to France (pleasant evening walk along the Rhein) and Germany (a short tram ride and walk through woods and along water). Some places you go to you think "it's lovely here" but then you feel you have 'done' it and would be happy to return but not bothered. With Basel, I really want to go back again -maybe at a different time of year. It's a lovely city. People were friendly and there was just something about being on a large river (even though it's narrower here than other places). Trams are plentiful and cover the city and are free with a Basel card. There are few cars so the air quality is good. We went to Fondation Beyerlee art gallery museum for a really interesting exhibition (half price with Basel Card as are so many other attractions). We had fun at the Jacob Leckerly tour and bought lots of lovely leckerly biscuits - and a leckerly beer! Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options in restaurants.

    We had only one day in Basel. It was too short. The hop on hop off bus tour really helped us see and understand more about the city. We will probably go back so that we can visit the places pointed out to us during the tour. We arrived on the last day of Fasnach so enjoyed seeing that.

    We loved the city walks, the food and nature around.

    We loved the city walks, the food and nature around. Kudos to the team at Basel Cathedral. It was such a nice experience! You can get to the top of the Gothic cathedral and admire the view of Basel. There are a lot of stairs to do and need to squeeze a little :) The hiking experience in Wasserfallen was amazing! Beautiful views from the cable car and did a two hours hiking in the nature. Amazing. The city is also great, very clean and safe. It is very easy to connect to/from the city. Trains, buses and trams are always on time and running every minute. What we love about Basel is that it allows you to get to Germany or France in just a bus ride, but you need to remember to bring your passport with you!!! In Basel, there are plenty of coffee shops and restaurants, where to eat local food. There are also lots of museums and monuments around. It feels like art is everywhere! Finally, we spoke English and Italian all the time but if you know German is even better! Recommend this city!

    My favourite was the University Botanical Gardens, especially its rainforest greenhouse. Not to be missed! Altstadt is a nice place to walk around. View from the Pfalz is great and so are the Tinguely fountains - the latter an engineering brilliance. While talking a stroll along the Rheinweg don't forget to cross the bridge and enjoy a drink/dessert at the Xocolatl.
