GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel with very easy access to public transport. I checked in with Nicolas. He was very friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend this hotel to my friends."

Riverside Hotel Merian - opening 2026

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Merian! We had a beautiful room on the fourth floor overlooking the Rhine, and the views were simply spectacular. One of our favorite memories was standing outside on our balcony, taking in the gorgeous river and city views, especially with the Ferris wheel from the Autumn Festival (Herbstmesse) lighting up the skyline. It was such a magical way to experience Basel! The location couldn't have been better. We were within easy walking distance of countless restaurants, shops, and several of the Autumn Festival locations, making it the perfect home base for exploring the city. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Since Basel was new to us, we especially appreciated their wonderful recommendations and guidance, which made navigating the city and discovering local gems so easy. The breakfast was also lovely, with a great variety of delicious options to start each morning. We had such a wonderful experience and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our visit to Basel. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Hotel Merian to anyone visiting this beautiful city!"

HYPERION Hotel Basel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Hyperion at short notice when our return flight from Basel to the UK was cancelled at short notice. The room was quite small but clean and well-equipped and with a good view to the east. The front desk staff were very helpful with replenishing supplies for the coffee machine in the room and dealing very quickly with a fault on the room safe. We had to leave the hotel at 4:30 am to catch the replacement flight so appreciated the 24 hour front desk service."

Central City Hotel Rochat

10/10 Excellent

"A member of my party was under the weather by the time we reached Basel. I had contacted them asking to see if we could have an earlier check-in to rest. The staff on duty got us in earlier than scheduled and was utterly sweet. Hats off to you and your team of understanding polyglots. We had booked an upstairs/downstairs room. The novelty wore out quickly, because there was only one sink/bathroom upstairs. Not their fault. We learn. We were also fortunate that when we got in, there was a huge fair running outside the hotel. We had food and fun times without going too far!"
