Schweizerhof

The Schweizerhof is a very modern and comfortable hotel. Quiet and comfortable rooms. The hotel has excellent facilities including a bar on the ground and ice and fresh water rooms on each floor. The breakfast was great. Great transport links with the train and tram outside. I liked as a hotel guest the hotel gives you a free pass around Basel. I highly recommend the hotel.

We had 2 separate single night stays here. On both occasions the staff were fantastic, they could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The rooms were very clean. The first room we were in was slightly larger. The location could not have been better for us as we were travelling by train and the train station is a very short walk. If you are travelling by air, the airport bus is also very close - almost door-to-door service. Walking to the city centre was 5 to 10 minutes. |Would recommend and would definitely stay at this hotel again. Thank you to all the staff.

Very nice clean hotel excellently located near the train station. Ear plugs at the side of the bed was an indication that perhaps there could be noise during the night. I thought perhaps from people at the many nice bars and restaurants in the area. I didn't hear them. The ear plugs are for the constant coming and going throughout the night of the trams as well as the vibration from the rails as they get closer. But it was only one night and the breakfast made up for it.

Great location if travelling by train as it’s just outside the front of the station and next to public transport. We had an ambience room which was very spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast was included and perfectly fine. Most of all, staff were very friendly and helpful. A very good choice for an overnight stay.

My husband and I stayed two nights before our riverboat cruise. The bed was firm, the pillows soft, which made for a very comfortable sleep. The only negative, if you’re a light sleeper, is that the hotel is situated steps from the train station, trams and buses. On the positive side, the transportation is fantastic to get you where you’d like to go or you can walk the city to explore. We were so exhausted after our exploring that the constant rumble of the trains didn’t pose an issue, however, when we arrived there were a pair of earplugs placed on top of each pillow, which was appreciated. The room was clean, the shower was wonderful, with a choice of a rain shower or handheld, with great water pressure. We were pleasantly surprised with fluffy robes and slippers . The buffet breakfast was plentiful, being a somewhat picky eater, I still had a variety of tasty choices. The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel and would not hesitate to stay again.

We had a nice stay in a three bed room. The room didn’t have a real AC but stayed cool despite the over 30degree temperatures outside. Our corner room had 2 nice balconies, but the train/tram noise might be a turn-off for some. The hotel provides earplugs on the pillows.|Breakfast was nice, and the staff was helpful and friendly. You can rent a swim-fish from front desk, if you decide to ride the currents down the Rhein…..a MUST in the summer!|There are 5 free parking spaces directly in front of hotel, which made our experience even better.

I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. I’ve stayed there a couple of times - it’s extremely conveniently located just outside the Basel SBB station and it’s the best. Comfortable, great service, excellent staff and rooms, and the breakfasts were lovely too. Very happy customer here, I will definitely return and I recommend this hotel if you’re ever in Basel. It’s a winner!

Everything is perfect. We like the hotel a lot but felt sad that we got a double room without a balcony and the room was not in the front zone of the hotel. I recommended to book a room with breakfast included. You should know that there will be some vibrations from the tram a bit. All things considered, I think this hotel is a great value for money.

Recently updated rooms. I payed 195.- CHF a night. It's right next to the SBB central station. Rooms are nice and clean. Staff friendly. Nice little breakfast buffet. They provide free WiFi and Mobility Pass (public transportation). Downtown with lots of restaurants, bars, movie theaters and shopping is in walking distance.

Great hotel! Nice and clean, with large rooms and bathrooms. Excellent location. Very close to the train station and several tram lines just outside. Short walk downtown. Very good breakfast buffet. Friendly and fast check-in. Nice staff in both the bar and the restaurant. Good internet.

The Swiss are known for hospitality, and at Schweizerhof, that`s their specialty! The rooms: nice and big, and a treat of morokopf, English news channels, a giant shower tops it off! Breakfast was fantanstic, birchermüsli and fruit, breads, laks, and cheese, fresh coffee to suit! It`s right next to the bahnhof, and the tram station, after a night at Schweizerhof, you`ll be filled with jubilation!

Schweizerhof is an updated (2009) hotel with a great location right outside the SBB station. There are many options for food nearby including Starbucks or Tchibo for your morning caffeine fix. The rooms are spacious and modern with hardwood floors. Our first room was facing outside towards the station. The balcony was nice to view the action, but it was too noisy for the likes of us. If you're a light sleeper, request a room on the back side. There are ambient rooms with a bath tub and fitness rooms with exercise equipment available for a surcharge. I like the Yves Rocher products despite the strong fragrance, but there is no hair conditioner. Wi-Fi, mobility card(s) for the use of public transit, and breakfast are included in your room rate. Since there isn't a restaurant on-site, the breakfast is limited and no room service is available with the exception of drinks and some hot snacks. There are no minibars in your room, but there are complementary bars with water and soft drinks on a few floors. The staff has been helpful to make sure we have everything we need to be comfortable.

Friendly check-in. Our experience was enhanced by fact our room was ready upon our extremely early arrival (7:00AM). THANK YOU! Knowledgable and pleasant front desk staff. Asked about best money exchange (do it at the train station) and staff memeber was extremely helpful, I think the gentlemen might have walked us there if we asked. Comfortable bed. Oversized shower. Fun amenities. Complimentary bottle of water. Nice extras. Free public transit pass for duration of our stay was very much appreciated and unexpected. In addition, there are complimentary beverages on floors 2,3,4 (sparkling/still water; reg/diet coke; ice tea; orange juice, milk) Very nice touch! Exellent location, less than 5 minute walk from train station. Doors lock at 1AM; have to ring to get access. Overall: Excellent value and location. Highly recommend for business or holiday travel. Can't comment on the breakfast, wasn't included in our rate but other reviewers seem pleased.
