Top Basel Zoo Hotel Reviews

Novotel Basel City

10/10 Excellent

"Brilliantly located, with trams close by. Bus 50 from the airport is free for guests staying in the Basel hotel, and from the SBB, Tram 10 or 11 on a short ride brings you within a three-minute walk of the hotel. The staff made us feel like family; the nights were peaceful, we slept well, and the rooms were spotless. 10 out of 10!"

Central City Hotel Rochat

10/10 Excellent

"A member of my party was under the weather by the time we reached Basel. I had contacted them asking to see if we could have an earlier check-in to rest. The staff on duty got us in earlier than scheduled and was utterly sweet. Hats off to you and your team of understanding polyglots. We had booked an upstairs/downstairs room. The novelty wore out quickly, because there was only one sink/bathroom upstairs. Not their fault. We learn. We were also fortunate that when we got in, there was a huge fair running outside the hotel. We had food and fun times without going too far!"

Hotel Metropol Basel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our third stay in four years which s a strong recommendation. Our room was good and was very quiet despite being close to the bus and train stations. The staff were very helpful with one exception when they found it difficult to give precise directions to a landmark in the city - quickly corrected by another member of staff. The room met all our needs and had a kettle, safe and small fridge - all very useful for our stay of 8 days. Sadly none of the rooms in our price range had a shower (only a shower over the bath), but with difficulty we managed. One great bonus is its easy access to the railway station (2 minutes away) which was important as we used the Swiss Travel Pass extensively throughout our stay. Everything was as we expected it to be and overall we recommend The Metropol warmly."
