Hotel Krafft Basel

Pretty, historical building. Well appointed with nice details such as nespresso machines and water on every floor. Lovely breakfast in the restaurant space facing the river. Could walk or tram everywhere I wished to go. My twin room was small but nicely designed, fine if you are not planning to be in your room much. Restaurant is not open late. NOTE: If staying in December, a Christmas market takes place on the road that the "city" rooms face. As I stayed over a weekend, I found it very difficult to fall asleep until around 1am due to the partying below. Probably not an issue if in a river room.

First off, the staff is AMAZING and so helpful! They are so friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The only reason I give them 4 stars is because the room was small and lacked decor. While comfy it felt a little cold. Also construction was our view. I do realize that is not their fault and the staff certainly made up for it.

Loved our stay here. No complaints at all - every staff member was great and truly professional. The breakfast crew was great. Specially Marc. He was all over it. Spoke several languages , was the most efficient and hardest working person I've seen there to the point he made me tired just watching him work. The mineral water station you have on each floor was the best thing ever !!! After night of drinking it saved my life lol.

Spending 5 nights in Basel visiting friends. Stopped at Krafft on their recommendation and was not disappointed. I was in a Junior Suite on the opposite side of the street from the main building and it was excellent. Very well sized and everything in the room was of a high quality. The service from everyone I met was exceptional - professional but very friendly and warm. I ate lunch in the restaurant and it was very good with first class service from Marcus (?) and the wine bar is well worth a visit for some high quality wine in a relaxed environment. Will definitely return.

The experience you get likely depends on the room; some are very small. Street facing rooms face a large construction site at the moment. Taking a shower is a struggle because the bathroom is so tiny that even as a small person you cannot get in or out without touching the sink and toilet. The water temperature is not constant either. Upper floor is noisy and you basically stay between janitor services that start making noise at 7am. Downstairs, the hotel is fancy and all staff was very friendly. Appreciated the breakfast and the coffee and sparkling water. Personally, I would not stay again though, had more comfort in my student dorm room back in the day.

We stayed here our last night on a twelve day trip. It was a perfect ending! We floated the Rhine with the locals all day and ate at local restaurants and got Gelato twice! The room was huge and even had a disco room! Highly recommend!

Great looking hotel with everything you need, but way too loud. We had the room with the view on Rheingasse not the River. Even on the second floor it sounds like people are standing in your room. The windows have zero sound isolation and people were partying till 2am in the morning and Construction began at 7am. But even without construction the normal city noise at 6am woke me up already. You can hear every word of people passing. Ontop there is no way to darken the room the curtains do absolutely nothing. In itself a nice Hotel but i can go to nice places for atmosphere during the day, but if I book a Hotel I expect to sleep well and it was impossible to do here. I couldve slept better in my car in the parking lot. Breakfast was impeccable and service on point. Rooms were clean and you could get bathroom utensils like toothbrush/paste etc on the hallway same with coffee and tea. Please install good windows and invest in something to actually darken the room.

I only visited the rooftop terrace, and it was absolutely lovely — great view and atmosphere. What really stood out was the service. Cyrill was the best waiter I’ve ever had! Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A true professional who made us feel welcome from the start. Highly recommend!
