The hotel has one good point - great staff at check in, after that considering the price 750 Swiss francs for basic up to 2100 it is terrible, and for a rich company like Hilton not to offer free wi fi is all rather sad. We stayed one extra night in Basel and for half the price received clean room,... More

From the outside it looks just like another old building with not much to offer in terms of hospitality or comfort. Once inside though you are pleasantly surprised with the warm and competent welcome you get from the reception staff. The staff had also prepared free mobility tickets for us to use on all public transport means. The room was... More

Switzerland is about as expensive as it gets in Europe, and in Switzerland you get what you pay for : that's the way it works. There are few bargains, so I was pleased to pay CHF200 for my (prepaid) room An excellent fish buffet dinner with 2 dcl of wine (that's how the Swiss, and only the Swiss, sell the... More

I was booked into this hotel by my company for a business meeting. The expensive room was small and uncomfortable, and had I been here for more than two nights I would have changed hotels. This hotel was a genuine three star, and no-one did anything to improve your stay. As a vegetarian, Switzerland is not the easiest place to... More

I truly enjoy my stays at this Hilton. The location is so central- right near the train station and an easy walk to Old Town district as well as many of the business areas. The staff are always so kind and will offer any number of tips to help. The rooms are very modern and not too small. The beds... More

A $46 cab ride from the airport in a nice comfortable city. When I walked in I felt like I had arrived in a hotel from the 1980s. Thin mattresses, worn out furniture, thin towels and tired bathroom. It shouldn't carry the Hilton name and the room prices are highway robbery. I stayed here earlier in the year and the... More

I'm in Basel often for business, and generally stay at the SwissHotel or the Radisson Blu. Both are fine hotels, not terrific, but fine.

The hotel is conveniently located near the train station. The room was nice although there was a problem with water from bathtub floating into the rest of the room. There is a nice little pool and sauna so that was a plus. The service was very good. Internet and breakfast were really overpriced though. But there's a Starbucks with free... More
