Hotel Alfa 3-Sterne-Hotel

The hotel was very clean and very close to the metro lines. The staf is very frendly, and rady to help u in any moment.caffe in the room was tastet. Very quiet place. Every one who goes in the hotel wil have wenderfull time.

We picked this hotel after seeing the over the top prices in Basel. It is a basic hotel - definitely nothing fancy but clean. Location is good for travel around the Baselbiet area as the tram no. 3 stops right in front of the hotel. Also the hotel gives you a voucher for free public transport travel in the Baselbiet area for the duration of your stay. Worth some bucks if you take advantage of the exemplary Swiss public transport system. Be sure to book a room at the back of the hotel away from the main street to give you the quietest stay. Street view rooms have a constant rumble of trams and heavy commute traffic. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful but their German comprehension leaves a lot to be desired. Better to speak English. The cleaning staff keep the rooms spotless and glistening. My bed was a nightmare. First the bed was much lower than a normal bed and I really had to squat to sit on it. Secondly, the mattresses must have been at least 10 years old and have received a LOT of hard use. Very soft and saggy - difficult to find a comfortable position. The huge pillows do not lend themselves to getting fluffed (beaten) into a comfortable shape for sleeping. Fortunately I had an ample supply of paracetamol packed to help me over the sore back and neck every morning. I had checked out beds in a couple of other rooms but they are all the same poor quality. The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Dried scrambled eggs prepared a lot earlier in the day. Some little greasy sausages. Two types of "juice" made from powder in a dispenser. A few cold cuts and fresh vegetable slices (but the left over veggies get recycled until used up). Some bread, rolls and croissants. The croissants are a cheaper variety and definitely not the wonderful, buttery, fluffy Swiss variety. I highly recommend a short walk down the street for breakfast at the Bangerter Bäckerei. All in all one of the less expensive hotels in Basel with a convenient location but do take some pain killers for your back.

Parking was full people just have to hope they fit, noone answered the door we had to wait for someone to come out before we could go in. Having an unmanned reception doesn't make sense. The bathroom is small and outdated. The bed was comfy and there is a fan in the room but the seat was broken. Alot of people unable to enter the hotel. Not an enjoyable location or experience.

Mediocre hotel. It was clean and right across from the trolley. Rooms were very small, especially the bathroom. No frills. Load street so if your room is on the street side being your ear plugs.

Average hotel good for a short stay. Location is nice right next to tram #3 stop. Rooms are adequate but not very big. Bath is pretty small a and closet space is cramped. Table is hardly enough for a phone and a coffee maker. The thing that was really odd the shape of the pillows. They are square and very fluffy. İf you like some firm pillow you would be disappointed. İt gives you very little support if you like using them as a back support in the bed. Nevertheless bed is fairly comfortable and the rooms are quiet. Breakfast is not bad compared to US hotels. Overall we were were satisfied with our stay.

We book a Queen room and the experience was terrible . Outside 35 degrees and not even ventilations were available, no AC , the smells inside the rooms was horrible, old furniture and we couldn’t sleep. Breakfast very poor and no variation. For me this hotel it’s 2 stars .

Very good for what it costs. Staff were friendly for swiss/ germans located 100 yrds from the Rhein a beautiful spot for a dip in the river...

Nothing special, but it's located next to a very scenic area by a beautiful river, with restaurants on the water, lots of grass areas for picnics overlooking the river and bridges. The river leads to very large park, perfect for an afternoon stroll or evening/morning run. There is a cute little cafe for refreshments in the park, which has toilets and there are outdoor exercise equipment in the park. Lots of traditional Swiss restaurants within walking distance of the hotel It's conveniently located right outside a tram/bus stop. The hotel is self clean. The hallways leading into the rooms are quite creepy though 😂
