I stayed at Swissotel Le Plaza Basel in Oct 2012. I think the hotel is solid hotel with overall good service. I would return to the hotel on a future visit to Basel. The details of my review are below: Location - The hotel is located at Claraplatz at the intersection of several light rail lines. The hotel is in... More

This is my standard hotel in Basel - it is smack in the centre, close to the station, directly linked with the tram and not difficult to park. Nice hotel with friendly helpful staff who recognise you, spacious rooms, the luxurious ones with italian espresso machines (Lavazza), a pool and a fantastic breakfast. The restaurant is good, but I usually... More

The Swissotel chain still slightly perplexes me. I'm not still quite sure what it's about and what segment of the market it is going for. This is a perfectly nice hotel, right next to the Messe. It's about 400m from the Badischer Bahnhof, ie. the DB station (not the SBB station) and just at the end of Clarastrasse, one of... More

Friendly , comfortable , good food and a location right by the new Civic center ( thank goodness it is finished !! Rooms are a good size , good selection of tv channels , good bathrooms if you...

I have stayed at this hotel maybe 5 or 6 times over the last several years when I travel to Basel for work; perhaps no more. I was woken up tonight at 11:30pm by the people in the room next to me opening the connecting door into my room. This is disturbing on multiple levels. 1. At any time during... More

Tram number 2 will take you from the Basel train station to where the hotel is located and then you just have to cross the road. Even though our room faced the main road, there was not too much disturbance but it is best to ask for a room on the other side. The rooms, bathroom and linen were clean.... More

The Swissotel is good, room is bigger than other hotels in Basel. Service is good. The breakfast is also good. In the bathroom there is heating device to warm your towel, it was prefect! It is worth to go again!

Here on business and would never recommend this hotel to anyone. For over $255 CH I would expect a room to be a bit better than a horrible Motel 8. The room smelled horrendously, like a combination of mildew and trash, and when I told the front desk they sent someone up with fabric freshener. The room was also right... More

Although this was a quick trip and only one night in Basel, the accomodations at the Swissotel were exceptional. The breakfast that was included was very good with fresh squeezed juices and a lot to choose from, not just fruit, cheese, and danish.
