"The hotel is located perfectly in the middle of the city and the staff were extremely friendly on check in. We were given a Basel travel card for the duration of our stay which was really appreciated. The room was a great size and was very comfortable and clean. "

Best Western Hotel Dreilaenderbruecke

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was ideal for our parkrun trip. The tram and bus stops were just next to the hotel which made our journey from the airport and into Basel very easy. The Reception Staff were very helpful with directions on how to get to the Fondation Beyeler. I highly recommend this hotel. Our room was a proper suite and we were able to eat there instead of dining out. "
