Hotel Krafft Basel

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff is incredibly friendly, the amenities are great and the lobby is lovely to hang out and do work. The location is great too. Make sure to get a river view room. The rooms facing the street are unbearably loud. Also there is construction on the other side of the street which makes for additional noise during the day. I could not imagine staying in a street facing room in the summer.

I had a very nice stay in this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, the hotel is very historic, it's located right along the Rhine, and the breakfast was superb.

My single Room was small but sufficient for single person. Nice view from window. If possible, take the river side room. Staff were really helpful and friendly.

Cannot recommend to stay here in a streetfacing room in the summer/on Saturday night. It is so loud with closed windows that you need earplugs - it sounds like people are partying and yelling in your room until the early morning hours. There is, however, a Dyson fan in the closet in the room. Turned up to 10, the fan noise overtrumps the outside noise and it gets cool. :) Other than that, the staff of the hotel are wonderful-extremely helpful and welcoming. There is even a small bicycle storage, which I was allowed to use. The hotel itself is also very nice and in a perfect location. My recommendation: get a river side room & you will have a great stay.

Very nice place for dinner. Had a lovely evening with team. The Frittierte Aubergine was delicious being a vegetarian.

This hotel is just wonderful! Great style and atmosphere. Super tasty breakfast. Perfect location.

We loved this boutique hotel with such history and architectural character in the older section of Basel. Everyone working there was super friendly and helpful. We loved using the hotel's complimentary bikes to explore Basel. It is also super conveniently located - only 1/2 a block to the tram. We also appreciated the long window for the included breakfast from 7 to 11 am.

Normally I would be giving great feedback to the Krafft Basel. Having visited on numerous occasions I was looking forward to arriving on St Stephen’s Day 26th December en route from Amsterdam. However a stomach bug means I have to change plans and although the hotel has availability for the following evening they are refusing to move my reservation. This would mean I would have to pay another night at a much higher rate, i.e. pay for two nights, stay for one. What shoddy service. At Christmas. Needless to say we won’t be visiting again. So much for customer loyalty, thrown back in your face in preference for profit margins. As for the reply below to my original review: no reduced rate was offered to me. In fact the reception was under the impression I had booked the penthouse suite, not true, and offered me a rate far higher than the one I had already paid for. This would have meant I would have ended up paying more than twice as much as I would have for only 1 night’s accommodation. So much for customer service, long live the bureaucracy.
