Really outstanding hotel. Old world with modern updates that do not detract from the atmosphere. The beds are great and the bathrooms spacious. We did not dine in the Michelin Star restaurant but will on the next visit. The bar is wonderful for drinks as the room is perfect. The only issue is the ”lobby” is only for drinking after 4 pm and there is no where else to sit on the main floor. However, there is a library on the second floor that is delightful to sit in and read. This hotel has spoiled me for chain hotels.
Our 3 day trip in Basel concludes on more positives than nagging issues. First the good part: Staff such as Steven, Catia and Michael are worth mentioning as they did their best to accommodate our requests. In general the front office staff seems rather well trained and courteous. Secondly the location of this hotel is ideal. With access to train, tram and bus stations within a couple 100 metres is very convenient. Sound isolation and sleep quality are pretty decent. Rooms are modern and seem to ve renovated recently. Ample parking available in the basement. The best part is the entrance of the hotel is within the private space and does not hinder public traffic. So parking the vehicle to offload the luggage is practical. I feel one of the best designs of this hotel is to be able to manoeuvre your car and allow guests to be able to safely disembark. Breakfast is decent and very clean setup. No signs of hygiene issues. And now to the few nagging issues: First the over engineering of elevators and their use can ve confusing at first. Staff should take time to read any messages and requests done through third party booking platforms. Although requests were addressed promptly but could have avoided delays. Room temperature settings difficult to comprehend for kelvins to Celsius conversions. Also the room was quite warm and slightly unpleasant in the evening. Breakfast should consider some infant friendly options too. Value for money - a miss for sure. Overall I would say it was quite a pleasant experience but the management needs to step up on making it a value proposition.
This hotel is in a great location right next to the train station and tram lines making it easy to get around the city. Like all Schweizerhof hotels you get a great experience and this one comes at a discount compared to some in other cities. The bed is comfortable and there is a large TV for your viewing pleasure. We were there during the 2024 Euro soccer competition so the TV was nice for watching the games in the evening. The bathroom is large and accommodating with a large walk-in shower. The breakfast had the usual items and a nice selection of hot items including eggs, bacon, and sausage.
This hotel is within walking distance from the SBB train station, staff at the hotel are very friendly and speak very good English. I was very grateful for the early check in without any quibble with the receptionist, and she explained how we can get around. Room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast had a good choice of hot and cold foods, with variations every day. I would definitely stay here again. The only discomfort with our room was the temperature in our room was set to 19C, which was comfortable during the day, but was a bit too hot for the night for us, and we couldn’t lower the temperature down.
