Top Basel Zoo Hotel Reviews

Central City Hotel Rochat

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was spacious and quiet in a wing off of the garden. Tea and coffee were available throughout the day in the dining area. There's a couple of cozy chairs and a desk, and mini fridge. We chose to purchase the breakfast buffet and it included a variety of hot and cold choices. The bathroom was also spacious with cabinet space, good water pressure and temperature. There was plenty of closet space, and windows opened over the garden area. The hotel is located on a sloped street with public transport at either side. Walking distance to the river and a number of sights. A wonderful stay!"

GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn't fault the hotel. Location, staff, accommodation and facilities were all exceptional. Complimentary mini bar was a great feature. Pre check in info was also fabulous. We enjoyed the breakfast."

Limehome Basel Town Hall

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very comfortable and generally pretty clean. Check-in was super easy, and there was unlimited free coffee which was nice!"

Steinenschanze Charming City & Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonder stay"

Hotel Metropol Basel

8/10 Good

"Very handy for the SBB station, just a few minutes walk. They press you to check in and out online, but don't provide language options, so you are reliant on Google Translate. I'm not sure if I could have just done this at the desk, it's unclear. That said, it was unstaffed when I left. Room itself was great, large with comfortable beds. Well sound-proofed despite facing a main road / tramway. Only issue was that housekeeping hadn't checked the shower gel dispenser - it was empty. I didn't eat as I had an early train so just grabbed something from Migros on the station, but they did offer breakfast."

Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Very close to SBB - public transport. If you like the zoo it’s very close. We received a tourist card so public transportation was free and a lot of tourist attractions had great discounts. Would stay there again."

B&B Hotel Basel

8/10 Good

"The queen room was small. Loved that the window opened. Loved that they had breakfast, a bar and could order a light dinner of pizza. Great location to our retreat at the arena in Basel. And close to trams, buses."

Motel One Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Mövenpick Hotel Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Located in 2-3 minutes walking distance from the station. Also close to the old city. In general a very nice hotel with friendly staff. Highly recommend to those who are looking for a hotel in Basel."
