Most recent trip was similar to many others. Very convenient to transportation and many restaurants are within an easy walk. The Rhine is a bit more of an ambitious walk, however, not far for a frequent walker/runner. Rooms are basic and small. Rooms on the "back" side away from the street are quieter and more desirable. Restaurant is OK and... More

Dorint is located near Claraplatz, well connected by bus to local shopping etc. The location is great for business travel too, as many multinational offices are located nearby Rooms are clean and service is good. Would recommend it to business travelers

I have stayed in this hotel for quite a few times in last few years. It is my preferred hotel for a short business trips to Basel. It offers nice, modern and clean rooms with all necessary comfort. There are more or less no extra facilities, but I feel this is not required for these kind of short trips. The... More

When you're at the Dorint Hotel in Basel, as if you are coming back to your friends for another stay, the staff are young & energetic, treat you friendly & with your name as they do remember their regular guests. The restaurant service is a 1st class, the food is excellent & has a flavor of the region, going back... More

Stayed there for one night in April. The first room I was given stank of cigarette smoke. The lady at the front desk was defending that it was not a smoking room... However she gave me another room which was Ok. The room was pretty small, but with the basics needed. However the overall cost was pretty high. The breakfast... More

I've spent one night at the Dorint and can recommend it, although the surrounding is a bit of a turn off. Walking there at eight at night was however perfectly safe and if you're looking for a Kebab, you won't have to search for long. The reception area is spacious, the check-in process fast and efficient. The rooms are rather... More

Thank you very much for your rating. As you already noticed we are a city hotel which unfortunately only leaves us enough room for showers in our bathrooms. Our comfort rooms in which your colleague stayed look out onto the garden and are therefore quieter. The comfort catagorie also offers you the facility to make coffee and tea. We hope... More

Briefly, I stayed here one night (early Jan 2013), and I was impressed with the staff who where helpful and friendly, including the restaurant staff. The breakfast was not exceptional for Europe, where the standards are about 100x better than the USA and at least twice as good as Britain, but still very good. The only hitch was that my... More
