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

I stayed at the Dorint last week whilst on business in Basel. I'd heard some mixed views about the hotel, but upon arriving was pleasantly surprised.The hotel Reception was spacious, light and very clean. I arrived in my room to find a contemporary style room and very nice bathroom with all of the mod cons you would expect. Unfortunately my... more

We stayed here one night - booked a promotional rate on Expedia. We arrived quite late, and most of the restaurants were closed. We were ready to fork over $$$ for hotel food when we discovered that they offered a personal pizza @ a reasonable price. They also waive room service fee if you come down and get the pizza.... more

We stayed there during the Art Basel and of course they have milked this by increasing their prices but offering poor service. The room had no AC despite its steep price! This is the only hotel that I ever booked where only one breakfast was included in the price of the room. The location is perfect but if you get... more

Firstly The Novotel Basel is now The Dorint Hotel, which was a suprise as the taxi driver dropped us off, but all was OK with room / reservation / rate etc. The hotel seemed recently refurbished as all decor and furniture was clean and modern. The room while small was adequate and spotlessly clean, the only ' gripe' I had... more

I've spent many nights in various Novotels and was quite disappointed by this one, especially by the tiny room and the way I was greeted. At Novotel, I usually feel like a valued customer - the front desk is usually cheerful and friendly. Not this time. When I saw the room, I called back to confirm that this was indeed... more
