Basel hotels near Cartoonmuseum Basel

Pros: Friendliness of staff. Helpfulness of staff. Breakfast in the garden. Comfort of beds. Peacefulness.

Pros: The staff was professional, curteous, multi-lingual, and the front desk was always staffed. The hotel was amazingly generous with coffee, wine and snacks available throughout the day and evening. I also had free access to a computer and internet and a quiet place to settle in and work near the coffee, wine and snacks. A variety of international newspapers and magazines were available as well. Within just a few hundred yards I found the Marketplace, filled with shops, restaurants, and an art museum with an impressive collection of impressionist paintings (my favorite) was also just a 10 minute walk away. Did I mention there was free coffee, wine and snacks?

Pros: Location was easily reached from the train station and a short walk to the historic area. Room was excellent and so was the breakfast. Eggs were cooked to order. Free drinks were offered at arrival and one each day of our stay. Free Basel Card allowed us unlimited use of the local transport and discounts at all museums which saved us money. Staff was very helpful, The garden was a delightful place to have a drink.

Cons: There was not much we didn't like. They had some problems with the elevator on a couple days but they offered us free drinks to compensate so we didn't mind. They got the problem fixed soon enough.

Pros: The most beautiful thing about the hotel, is the breakfast garden. Also as a place to enjoy a drink in the evening. The location is great. Is quiet but in the middle of the city.

Pros: Excellent service by the front desk staff. Close to the train station and the city centre (old town)

Cons: Rooms are tiny, but it’s okay for a night. Toilet has look-through glass

Pros: Such a friendly, homely place to stay with everything needed for a quiet rest. Close to Old Town for easy sightseeing.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Having paid for the full breakfast, I asked for fried eggs, but they were frazzled on a grill to the point of being inedible!

Cons: The breakfast

Pros: Location was very great for me. Small breakfast was great and the big breakfast also looked quite good (there are two options for breakfast), but I´ve had the small one.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Rooftop 30th Floor with self service and as well breakfast in the morning and the good staff

Cons: One of the days, the cleaning didn’t happen except the house keeper only added the shampoo but did not take care of towel, sheets and minibar and for the 4 star hotel it should have been different

Pros: Very modern design and spacious room.

Cons: Roof top bar has limited opening / service during the day and late afternoon and is very busy in the evening.

Pros: Easily location to get around.

Cons: Well, it’s a massive hotel, brand new, all electronically control, no windows to open. It wasn’t for us. I think it’s good for business people. Breakfast is 30euros. We didn’t eat there.

Pros: The room and staff were excellent

Cons: At check out this morning the young female receptionist was extremely rude which really spoilt our stay. Not sure we want to go back next year.

Pros: Room is a bit smaller than expected.

Pros: Fantastic choice, you cant be wrong with this hotel.

Cons: Got an attic room with ceiling window only; the booking did not indicate it will be an attic. There was ventilator, but no Aircon

Pros: Staff was friendly and made an effort to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Excellent breakfast. Standard room was small but clean and comfortable. We were offered free mini bar which was a nice touch. Very nice garden and terrace in back. Good value for the money... one of the nicer places we’ve stayed in this price range.

Cons: Hotel was in a good location, but along a busy street. No air conditioning meant we had to keep the windows open and listen to traffic. Recommend asking for a room with garden view. 20 CHF for breakfast is steep but everything is just expensive in Basel.

Cons: No air conditioning The temperature was hot and it was very uncomfortable in the room especially sleeping with only a fan No bath mats in shower/bath making it very dangerous when it was soapy

Pros: Lovely place to stay. Wonderful helpful staff. Early check in and great advice on getting around. Breakfast exceptional. Highly recommended.

Pros: Staff, rate, cleanliness.

Cons: Room was too small

Pros: Firstly, be careful parking outside to check in as some spots are all night and others are very short term. Wardens were about. Check in was smooth and the advice we were given regarding a good restaurant to eat at was excellent. The room was very clean and fans were readily available to help cool it down as it was warm when we visited. Beds very comfortable. The hotel is very well located for walking into the older part of the town. Which is a very clean lovely town and we will revisit when we stop over again to experience more of it.

Pros: Clean and new facility. Private night light. Ample storage. A wash basin in the room. Nice breakfast with unlimited coffee.

Cons: A bit away from the city center and train station. But the city pass included in the stay offsets the inconveniences with free bus rides. Grocery store closes early daily and on Sunday. Kitchen cannot be unlocked before 7 to make coffee for early morning risers.

Pros: The atmosphere in the hostel is really fantastic, the staff is friendly and helpful, the price is very reasonable, the rooms are very clean, and there are plenty of facilities like washing machine and dryer, breakfast available for purchase, billiard tables, food and drink and ice cream and a very nice patio with garden.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Very good hostel! I strongly recommend :)

Pros: Nice place, very nice stuff, beautiful design, very clean, organised, next to the central station.

Pros: Reception

Cons: My upper bed. It was impossible tout climb in my bed. I' m 68 years old.

Pros: Nothing besides the location

Cons: I had the absolute worst experience ever! I would never, not in a 100 hundred years recommend this place to anyone. I was arriving quite late, but didn’t think this was an issue as my reservation mentioned you could check-in 24/7. I got to the front door, but it was locked. There was a note that I should have received an email with an entrance code, so I went on their guest Wifi, but unfortunately no email. (The email only came through the day after... yay!) What I did find was another email of the reception to let me know that they charged my credit card. What for?! I wasn’t even there yet!Sure I could’ve guessed it was tourist tax, but still. There was no description, no nothing. There I was. Couldn’t enter and it was midnight. Luckily (?) another hostel guest let me in. Great... but I still had no clue in which room I was. I asked some people, nobody could help me out. “The reception closes at 10:30pm.” I started calling the phone number on the reservation. I called it 4 times, no one answer. Why have a phone number if you’re not planning on answering. Then I found another phone number via Google, same story. Then I left some messages via Facebook. Nothing. Not even the day after. No reply, no phone call back. Nothing! Is this even normal?! Basically if anything ever happens at this place, staff is unreachable and/or refuses to deal with it! Plus, everyone can freely walk in and out, because people let you in anyways?! It then took me another 30min to find someone that actually knew the late check-in keys are kept in the luggage storage. He went in and got my key. Note: this was another hostel guest! All good. I figured: I’m ok, I got inside, I’m in bed, let’s forget about this ordeal. The day after I’m outside all day. I come back at 10:30pm. My key card didn’t work. I couldn’t enter. Again. Same thing all over. Another guest let me in. Tried calling. I gave up after 1 try. Tried my key at my room, nothing. I had to knock until someone let me in. I was actually planning to have a drink, go out. I couldn’t because I couldn’t get back in. This hostel actually ruined my entire Saturday night. What a joke. On top of that, the lady that let me in, told me she had to let another guest in a few days before, because her key card also didn’t work. I’m all for making the world more digital, but please make sure your stuff works and there’s a back-up plan. I don’t think I’ve ever been as pissed as this. Also walls are as thin as paper. And don’t think people care about being quiet after 10pm. Seriously, customer service is unknown and the place is not safe. Do yourself a favor, maybe spend a few bucks more, but go somewhere else. Never coming back here. Update: tried filling a formal complaint through the booking site. Management was again unreachable. - Sorry, these guys are crooks. PLEASE, I beg you, go somewhere else.

Pros: The location was great, close to the station and in a laid back neighborhood. They provide you with a public transportation card to explore the city and access to museums, exhibitions, etc. There are many cool spots in the hostel where you can hang out and relax: big tables where you can have a drink or work with your laptop, a patio\garden with chairs to enjoy the evening. Showers, rooms, beds and common areas are super clean. I loved having big closets with locks to secure my personal belongings. The staff members are overall nice and welcoming.

Cons: Rooms are quite small and packed with beds, so you will literally sleep by the side of strangers. It's not my first time sleeping in shared room and I know that's the point of sleeping in hostels vs. private accommodations, but I kinda felt uncomfortable by the lack of distance or "separation" between beds. I guess a curtain or something between beds would have helped). Food and drinks at the hostel bar are quite expensive considering a rather poor service. The biggest issue for me was the limited number of plugs to charge your laptop

Pros: Great location

Cons: I thought breakfast was included in my stay when booked And there weren’t bed lights and any chargers near bed place on the second bed floor

Pros: Super organized and neat

Cons: Price

Pros: It was roomy comfortably and fully contained

Cons: If we were staying a bit longer no sure about location

Pros: Comfortable and spacious room, variety of breakfast selection, free ticket for public transportation around city centre, accommodating staffs. Above all, a value for money!

Cons: Location is a bit far from Basel SBB or tram station. Expect around 15 minutes walk if you have big luggages to carry along. Closest tram is about 5-7 minutes.

Pros: I liked the design of the hotel, easy access and the lack of suirvelance from the staff, giving you a feel like at home impression

Cons: The breakfast was the same every morning and the options offered were pretty basic. The hotel is not cheap thus I expected a bit more creativity

Pros: Finest quality breakfast, located easy

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Coffee machine.

Cons: No porridge

Pros: We had the fastest check-in ever. Room was specious, bed was very comfortable. Everything was spotless. Staff was very very helpful.

Pros: Breakfast was as expected and meets requirement. Room was comfy.

Cons: Water bottle, 1, Was provided on arrival but none on subsequent days.

Pros: The staff were nice and you can buy okay tasting sandwiches in the lobby.

Cons: There were three not so good things about this place. 1.) The rooms were uncomfortably warm even with the AC on turned all the way up. I asked if the AC was broken. It was not. I was told that the Swiss government doesn't let the hotels make it colder. 2.) The location is not good. It is next to a large dark railroad facility (not one you can ride) and generally not close to anything. 3.) I used the hotel laundry/dry cleaning service to have a pair of pants cleaned. My pants came back pressed but smelling horrible. I had to have them re-cleaned at my next hotel. I would not recommend staying here for business or pleasure.

Pros: Hotel is very cozy and stylish. Free coffee and tea in the hotel lobby is a great idea! Breakfast was delicious with several options and all had made from fresh ingredients. We were very satisfied! I can surly recommend for the others :)

Pros: very good location. comfortable, with the necessary for a pleasant stay. good breakfast, easy access.

Cons: I couldn't use a debit card to pay the bill... simple thing, but reception didn't know how to operate the machine properly...
