Top Basel Zoo Hotel Reviews

Central City Hotel Rochat

8/10 Good

"Large clean, clean room is a quiet area. Staff were very, very helpful pointing us where to go walking and what to see in the city. Arrived from a river tour very early and they got us into the room early. Standard full breakfast the next morning was good."

Hotel Märthof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in great location. Room was large and beautiful."

ibis Basel Bahnhof

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful and pleasant. My room was clean, comfortable and appropriate for class of hotel. Location is great. Short walk from Basel SBB and plenty of places for food and drink."

Novotel Basel City

8/10 Good

"Everything was really good."

Mövenpick Hotel Basel

8/10 Good

"We booked a one night stay in a Junior Suite. The room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The bathroom had a separate bath and shower. Bottled water was also provided. The property is literally across the road from the main tram station and the main train station so very convenient location. The only negative was that we arrived at the hotel a little earlier and the hotel staff were not very friendly. We requested to leave our luggage and went out for the day. Upon returning we were greeted by Laura from the evening team who was extremely friendly, polite and welcoming. The day time staff need some training from her! Aside from this small matter, we had a good check out experience and I would definitely recommend the hotel to other travellers."

Hotel Metropol Basel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and room were very clean. The bed was really comfortable. Facilities were all really useful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The upgrade was excellent with free travel on public transport and discounts for attractions. Excellent location for transport and amenities. Would certainly stay there again and would highly recommend."

Motel One Basel

"The location, the cleanliness and the presentation of the hotel is fantastic. But it really was brought to life by the staff, especially Daniel on reception, who went the extra mile for us at every turn. Would stay here again in a heartbeat."
