Basel hotels near Naturhistorisches Museum 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: The staff where very helpful. The courtyard was beautiful.

Cons: The bathroom was sooooo small. The air conditioning was not cool enough and only ran for a short period and then it would turn OFF and need restarting.

Pros: The garden they have would be the envy of any hotel. Helpful, nice staff.

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: The most amazing property we stayed in thus far. Extremely clean and contemporary. Most comfortable bed, best night sleep in 12 days. Air conditioning, electronic blinds, d’longi machine, a flat device, umbrella and shopping bag at our disposal and an amazing reception staff, plus a welcome drink in the lounge or garden. Loved this hotel!

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.

Pros: The location was absolutely great. The staff (especially the two ladies who greeted us on our arrival) were very kind, helpful, professional. They went the extra mile to make our stay pleasant. We really appreciate it.

Pros: The Hyperion is perfectly situated within easy walking distance of the Basel SBB, and with nos 2 and 6 trams stopping right outside the front door of the hotel, to transport you to all parts of the city centre. Alternatively it is an easy walk to most central places of interest. The breakfast choice was excellent (especially the really good chef who makes omelettes to order). The restaurant was pleasant, but we also enjoyed an easy evening meal in the bar.

Cons: We were happy with the service, assistance, attention, room and facilities throughout our stay.

Pros: Good location Helpful and quick responding staff Fridge in room with drink free of charge and chocolate Scent shampoo and body lotion Nice view Transport and Basel card free of charge secured by Hotel Sauna free of charge

Pros: Contemporary, stylish decor. Exceptional cleanliness. Loved the full length windows which provided good natural light and views. Staff gave us a treat for special occasion. The executive lounge was very good with panoramic views.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The reception staff was great, rooms are clean and have a lovely view!

Pros: Everything was great! Many thanks!

Pros: Very nice and modern decor. Excellent location just a couple of tram stops from the main touring sites. Complementary minibar and Basel card was a nice touch. Breakfast is as good as they say, worthwhile having it there.

Cons: The room is a bit small for our liking, however, we did not spend too much time there so it was okay for one night stay.

Pros: Nice floor to ceiling windows for view. The view itself not so impressive (an enormous warehouse or something is in front of you) but it has a nice feeling generally. Value for money, especially if you consider that it is Switzerland, but also generally, for what it is 100 euros is nothing. Beds comfortable, nice lobby, not so far from the centre (like 10-12 mins walk)

Cons: Bigger rooms but not so much of a problem really

Pros: Great location! People at the reception with a service orientation. Nice customer service approach. The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable.

Cons: Prices in certain times are simply too high. I understand there are events in Messeplatz but prices can go to more than double and that's not nice.

Pros: Very modern

Cons: Not much to do around there

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: Clean room but not very big.

Cons: For a double room I would have expected a slightly bigger bed...

Pros: Beautiful and spacious room, very comfortable bed, friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast room. Good location near the river and the bridge into the old town.

Pros: The hotel was bright, light and only 80m away from the tram/bus station, a short walk away from the river and from Kunstmuseum. The staff were excellent! Went out of their way to assist me in returning some articles I left behind in our room.

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, modern hotel close to tram stop at Wettsteinplatz. Great breakfast with plenty of choices.

Cons: -

Pros: Hotel is 100 meters from #2 tram stop. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable.

Pros: Aaron at the desk was very helpful, knowledgeable and extremely friendly!

Cons: Negative people that live in the hostal, not sure if I had luck to meet them.

Pros: room was perfect for our family of five. common area was modern and well maintained. access to washer and dryer. staff friendly and accommodating. facilities clean and modern. food storage and kitchen use available.

Cons: parking

Pros: You will always meet new roommates, in my case some really cool and exciting people. Although I was travelling on my own, I never actually was alone. Thus I made new contacts and friends.

Pros: Nice bathroom

Cons: Room a bit small

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.

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: The room is smartly set up

Cons: Breakfast is less then basic

Pros: The room was slightly smaller than we expected, having stayed in Ibis Styles Hotel in Geneva a few days earlier we had a bigger room. But it was comfortable, clean and with all the amenities it promised. The tourist cards offered by the hotel were very much appreciated, apart from the free ride on the tram we had a 50% discount to museums. The breakfast offered was also very good.

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: The hotel was nicely decorated, clean and the staff were friendly, the free public transport card was a bonus, the breakfast was excellent

Pros: Good cheery welcome and nice hotel. Free travel ticket for our stay was fantastic.

Cons: Toilet flushed a little over the pan but that is really picky

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: Breakfast, the beds very comfy

Cons: nothing
