FAQs about hotels in Basel

Switzerland Through the Ages

At the meeting point of Switzerland, Germany and France, Basel is an eclectic mix of historic and modern, tranquil and vibrant. With Swiss cleanliness and efficiency thrown in for good measure.

Augusta Raurica on its outskirts houses a well-preserved Roman theatre, while the Old Town is a museum of medieval buildings. The Renaissance Town Hall looks down on Marktplatz’s daily market, while the red sandstone and colourful tiles of the Münster were reconstructed in the 19th century. Bringing it right up to date are the modern creations of city residents Herzog & De Meuron, designers of London’s Tate Modern.

When you’ve finished exploring this architectural heritage, there are still plenty of things to do in Basel. The city’s fine art museum is the world’s oldest art collection, and the zoo is the oldest and largest in Switzerland. Remember to bring plenty of Swiss francs for the shopping mile along Clarastrasse and Freiestrasse.

The Basel accommodation on Booking.com ranges from hotels in Grossbasel to B&Bs in Kleinbasel, home to the nightlife. If you’re flying into Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport in February or March you might just catch Fasnacht: Switzerland’s biggest carnival. You’ll have to get up early to see it start though - 4am!

    Basel is a modern city, an important economic center.

    Basel is a modern city, an important economic center. It has many museums and a rich cultural life. The old town is very beautiful. A superficial tourist can "see" it in one day, but those who want to delve deeper can spend several very interesting days there.

    Basel is a wonderful city to explore, and I highly recommend discovering it on foot – the architecture is beautiful and everything is within easy reach. Public transport is excellent: the buses are always on time and very clean. Just make sure to carry some cash with you, as card payments (POS) are not available on buses. A walk along the Rhine riverfront is a must, offering a relaxing and scenic experience. For a taste of local life, don’t miss a coffee at Finkmüller or the amazing pastries at Bäckerei KULT.

    We stayed in Basel for a week, using it as a transit point for traveling to other cities in the area: Colmar, Luzerne, and Freiburg. Basel itself has easily enough to see for three full days: interesting museums, beautiful architecture, cathedrals, dining, etc. If you stay for more than a day you get a Basil Pass which allows you to use public transit for free. The public transit works like a clock, although it might be a bit difficult at first to figure out what goes where.

    Basel has a mix of old buildings, many museums (~40), lots of interesting streets and alleyways as well as a full range of good quality shops and restaurants. Very enjoyable to walk along the tree lined paths along the Rhine too, where you can find numerous drink stalls and openings to restaurants. Eating out is not cheap, but quality if usually good.

    The staff were superb especially Bettina who went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. The roof top bar area was cosy and the breakfast in the same venue offered many choices; cooked and buffet and at the best price we discovered in all of Switzerland; 25 Swiss Francs per head for breakfast would be expensive in any other country, but its the bargain of the century in Switzerland! The bed was large and extremely comfortable and the room was spacious and nicely decorated with excellent amenities in the room.

    Comfortable clean and modern rooms, at a very reasonable price for a city-centre(ish) hotel in Switzerland. Travelling by tram into and from the centre was easy and straightforward, although we weren't made aware of the Basel pass until we arrived so spent money on day cards which weren't needed.
