Having been to Basel in January and loved it there were pretty high standards to live up to. And the Schweizerhof Basel met them all. We arrived 3-4 hours before check-in and were offered a room. However as we wanted a quiet room (facing the back away from the tram lines) we had to wait it to be done up.... more

Stayed for one night only - shame as a very good hotel - our room was recently renovated - all very clean - fab shower. Comfortable bed albeit a bit narrow for 2! Free soft drinks in fridges on communal floors but they charge for eggs at breakfast! Friendly staff. Great central location and not as noisy as you'd expect... more

Our room had been recently renovated and was spacious, very clean and minimal noise from outside or from others within the hotel. Considering we were at the front of the hotel and directly... more

A few rooms with balconies (quite important to us disgusting but diligent smokers) - ours was room 102, which was a good size with... more

We didn't actually stay at this hotel.... We were scheduled to stay there for one night on December 23-24, 2007, and booked it as it looked like a great place online, and given the other very good reviews. However, our flight from London to Basel was cancelled due to weather (many of you were probably also at Heathrow and remember... more

The location was great and rooms/facilities are very new. We had an exercise bike and scales in our room which was very handy. Rooms mostly very quiet (although see comment below). Free drinks (bottled water and coke, juice etc) - as much as you want and whenever you want from the drink and ice rooms on the floors. Staff very... more
