Top Basel Zoo Hotel Reviews

GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were warmly received at reception and our room was excellent. Breakfast was included and food was plentiful and of an exceptionally high standard. As we departed we were gifted with bottled water and a chocolate bar, a nice gesture. Sometimes you don’t want to share the secret of a great hotel with too many others but this was a top notch hotel, reasonably priced too. Thank you"

Hotel Euler

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and hotel. Very good breakfast."

Central City Hotel Rochat

10/10 Excellent

Der Teufelhof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Very cool building. Especially helpful and carried my bags up to our room 64 stairs. No elevator in our building but I would still stay here again. Great location"

B&B Hotel Basel

8/10 Good

"Staff was very pleasant and the hotel had everything you would need as a basic amenity hotel. I’d stay here again for work. I love how close it is to the tram so you can easily get around."

Steinenschanze Charming City & Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was clean, close to shops and restaurants, and the staff was very helpful, especially Alex. The breakfast had a great selection of cold items and even scrambled eggs for our friend. We’re happy to be returning for another two nights prior to our Viking Cruise."

Limehome Basel Town Hall

8/10 Good

"Location was walkable to and from train station. We didn't spend much time in the area, was a stop over for us, but looked like the property was in a good location for access to city sights and restaurant options. Check in and out were easy using the instructions provided by the host."

City Inn Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice place to use as a base. Location is perfect for exploring Basel. Facilities were clean and perfectly functional for our needs. The breakfast was ample, with a good variety of fresh food and drinks. There is a bit of a walk from reception to the room but not excessive and does involve a couple of flights of stairs. Breakfast is on the 8th floor which you can get to by lift. From here you have lovely views over the city. The staff were always helpful when we had questions. Would recommend for a budget friendly option with great location."
