Our family of two adults and two children (6 and 11 years) were all very pleased with our weekend stay at the Dorint in September, 2009. It was difficult to find a hotel in Basel which would accommodate us all in one "family" room, this hotel and the Novotel Suites being the only two which I could identify from my... more

The strength of the hotel is not its taste. It used to be a Novotel I hear, so you can imagine the style. We spent one night and took the superior room, which is I suppose is slightly bigger. Nevertheless quite small. We asked for a quiet room, so we were given one at the back. The Schönaustrasse is relatively... more

We stayed two nights in the Dorint and found it very comfortable, with excellent breakfasts and a nice clean modern room. Free Internet too. Just a short tram ride (number 14) to the centre of Basel (and public transport is free to people who stay in any Basel hotel). Only real downside was that, though we were on the top... more

We stayed for 2 nights in the dorint hotel in Basel in July 2009. We booked directly through the hotel and the deal included breakfast. The breakfast was the best that we had throughout our week long trip in Europe. There was a big selection of hot and cold foods. The reception staff were very friendly and were willing to... more

The staff at the reception were very friendly and helpful – which always makes you feel welcome. Room - clean and plenty of natural light. The shower was good enough. The cable/sat TV was a bit boring! – For the English speaking. I would recommend taking a portable media player. The hotel restaurant food was very good but you pay... more

We stayed at this hotel for about a week while we were on a business trip from Australia. The staff were exceptionally nice and accomodating, any queries we had they fixed, and it was great that most of them could speak fluent English. The rooms were quite small but I'm told that is to be expected in Europe. There was... more

The front desk staff were very nice and mostly fluent in english (although the couldn't figure out what I meant by "oatmeal" or "pancakes"). Our room was clean and average, but with a small kitchenette which was essential for traveling with a 3 year old. They also have a tiny playroom (like a windowless closet, but fun for 1-2 kids)... more

My visit in this hotel was a pleasant time. The hotel was quiete and with an excellent service from the staff. The policy concerning smoking in this hotel was very good and very surprisingly. Will stay again-YES Kind regards from a smoker. Vibeke Weirup more

This hotel was recently remodeled and now is quite stylish. The rooms and very nicely furnished in a modern style. I thought it was quite functional. The hotel is convenient to the Basel Bad train station. (Note this is not the Basel SBB train station; Basel has two main train stations.) The staff was friendly and accommodating. I wanted a... more
