At the meeting point of Switzerland, Germany and France, Basel is an eclectic mix of historic and modern, tranquil and vibrant, with Swiss cleanliness and efficiency thrown in for good measure.
Augusta Raurica, on the outskirts, has a well-preserved Roman theater, while the Old Town is a museum of medieval buildings. The Renaissance Town Hall looks down on Marktplatz’s daily market, while the red sandstone and colorful tiles of the Münster were reconstructed in the 19th century. Bringing it right up to date are the modern creations of city residents Herzog & De Meuron, designers of London’s Tate Modern.
When you’ve finished exploring this architectural heritage, there are still plenty of things to do in Basel. The city’s fine art museum is the world’s oldest art collection, and the zoo is the oldest and largest in Switzerland. Remember to bring plenty of Swiss francs for the shopping mile along Clarastrasse and Freiestrasse.
The Basel accommodations on Booking.com range from hotels in Grossbasel to B&Bs in Kleinbasel, home to the nightlife. If you’re flying into Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport in February or March, you might just catch Fasnacht, Switzerland’s biggest carnival. You’ll have to get up early to catch the 4 am start, though!
We absolutely loved the zoo! Quite small but the layout was deceptive so that it seemed much larger. The animals appeared well cared for and the enclosures were spacious with attention to enriching the environment for them, while at the same time allowing the visitors to get very close to them. In a very expensive country the entrance fee was very reasonable and half price with the Basel card.
The university botanical garden was also a little gem with a collection of unusual plants beautifully displayed and free to visit.
Basel itself an attractive city with a good feel about it. Don’t miss the quirky fountains near the theatre in the centre of town. Everything is very expensive for a British visitor which applies to Switzerland in general.

Perfect for a city break and good connection even to travel...
Perfect for a city break and good connection even to travel to other cities nationally and internationally as Basel is sandwhiched between France and Germany so, up to you where your heart will lead you for a day trip towards those countries.
Peaceful and efficient. Trasport good, people chilled.
Be ready to bring some money if you need to stay longer.

Basel is magical, I really enjoyed visiting it.
Basel is magical, I really enjoyed visiting it. The old town is so so nice. It's also very well connected to other places like Reigoldswil for the waterfall or to Augusta Raurica which I recommend.

Lovely city, but very expensive!
Lovely city, but very expensive! Mind you that most kitchens close at 21h and don't accept customers well in advance, as well as lots of places are closed on Sundays and Mondays. Go for all the beauty of the city, but bring the big wallet and plan to eat out early if you don't rent a place with a kichen and cook yourself. Don't bother to stay on a Monday, and consider to leave early on a Sunday, those two days are very, very quiet in Basel!

Very nice city, everything is very tidy.
Very nice city, everything is very tidy. The public transportation is very good. A lot of tramways and every several minutes coming the next one. We used tramway 8 to go to Germany and tramwat 3 to go to France. I recomend to visist the Stadtcasino and also to take the train and to go to Augusta Raurica about 20 km from Basel. It was a nice site with roman remains and also a nice rural walking outside the city. There are trains every 30 minutes.

Very vibrant as far as the museums are concerned.
Very vibrant as far as the museums are concerned. City for art lovers. Also very easy to move within the city with any kind of public transportation. Transportation was free, and the museums are for half the regular price with the card given by the hotel.
This hotel is well located, easy walking distance to Basel SBB. This makes it a perfect base from which to explore Basel and even organise day trips to other parts of Switzerland. Equally the quality of accommodation and cleanliness for price is fab.
I had some WiFi issues on initial check-in but they were so kind helping me find a solution. This left me with such a positive impression especially as it was my first time in Switzerland and I had so many trips/activities planned that WiFi was crucial.
The hotel is located right opposite Basel SBB, and only 10 min walk from the old town. It looks freshly refurbished, nicely decorated. The room I had was in the annex facing the inner courtyard: clean, comfortable, with a good bed. I wish I had noticed that the control panel for the heating also activated the external blackout roller: when I tried at checkout it seemed to do a good job. Staff was friendly and nice, ready to help. Overall great overnight stop.
The breakfast selection was plentiful and varied, served in the restaurant which overlooks the Rhine and its visual activity. Staff were very pleasant and informative and made us feel at home. Having stayed here a number of years ago we were aware of how convenient the location is for sightseeing and proximity to numerous good restaurants.
Considering how expensive Switzerland has become, the hotel offers excellent value for money.
This hotel was amazing! I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone who is traveling in Basel. The location is right in the old town close to restaurants and shops. The hotel and rooms were very quaint and had the quintessential Switzerland feel. Very clean and safe. The restaurant and reception staff were amazing, too! Great value for a beautiful place to stay.
The staff was extremely nice, very friendly and warm. I could get a room in the morning as it was already prepared although check-in starts in the afternoon. The bed was VERY comfortable. Everything feels and look very new, not my favorite interior design style but you can see they are making an effort ;-) qood quality price ratio, at least for Switzerland
We loved the spaciousness, cleanliness and decoration style of the room. Also, the hotel has a lot of character which we really appreciate. They cleaned the rooms daily. The location was pretty great, right on the edge of the old town. They allowed us to keep our luggage there for a few hours after checkout which was extremely beneficial.
Kai was really helpful and spoke excellent English, and it was easy to communicate with him about my arrival time etc. Everything was very clean and the room had all I needed and was bigger than I expected. Seemed good value for Switzerland! Easy to walk into town and also very close to a tram stop for getting to the train station etc.
Incredible location, seamless check in and out. Everything we need was ready when we arrived. We all know that Switzerland is quite expensive country, we decided to make our own food and drinks at Nest and it work perfectly. We decreased our expenses quite a bit. I suggest the same for all budget travellers like us. Have a nice trip.
Fun and friendly staff. Helpful with tips for Basel as well as further trip planning throughout Switzerland. We were unexpectedly upgraded to one of their apartments and it was excellent! The shared space was also nice to spend time in. Luggage storage available and much appreciated. We would stay here again
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Spalentor. The staff greeted us with smiles and were very helpful in answering questions. The property was clean and the rooms were a good size. Just a short bus or tram ride to the train station or city center. I highly recommend the Hotel Spalentor.
fantastic hotel, very luxurious and comfortable. location is perfect and the staff are lovely. Check in was simple and Hugo was very friendly and helpful. the rooms were fantastic and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here and was the best hotel we stayed in whilst in Switzerland.
Check out possible till 12:00 (or later as a member).
Beds at IBIS hotels are really excellent and the rooms have black out curtains and air conditioning.
Free ticket to use the public transportation which also gives discounts on city museums and the hotel is served by 2 tram lines.
Good location, we could walk to the old town. Underground car park was convenient. Rooms were clean, and bathroom was clean too. The free WiFi was useful because EU citizens do not get free roaming in Switzerland. Breakfast service was good.
Right in the center of the city, next to restaurants, supermarket and sights. Lovely and warm room despite the cold temperatures, fully equipped as the hosts had thought of everything you may need. Reasonable price for Switzerland.
Very nice hostel, room and common areas. Privacy, good climatization, good restaurant. No complaints! I would give it a 10 if it was a bit cheaper, but it's Switzerland so I guess that's the cheaper you can find it.
The location was perfect for my need. The room was very clean. Complimentary coffee and water were very appreciated. The free hotel car park is a rarity in the Basel area
